if the Rams really are close as Fisher and Snead repeatedly have said the loss of those picks is costly IF Goff can not provide an upgrade at the all important QB position for this team.
I did not like the trade up when it happened because IMHO Goff was simply not worth it. He was not in the same class as the Staffords, lucks, Winsons, Mariotas, Newtons in the classes before.
Now if Goff can not provide that upgrade now the picks really hurt in the presence and probably the near future.
In the NFL it is so tough to hold a team together for an extended time. Injuries and free agency practically make it impossible.
Rams have a pretty good D and a super RB in place right now but who nows how long they can hold onto Gurley, Donals, Quinn and some others ? We have already seen this offseason with Jenkins and McLeod and a couple others how fast the complexion of a unit can change.
Rams for some years now are always the youngest team in the league, always building for the future. For what future ? More mediocre seasons at or under 0.500?
As it looks now it would have been much wiser for success in the present and the near future to hold onto the picks and not draft an overrated QB who now will not contribute in any way on the field for the unforeseen future.
Maybe some day he will become a franchise QB, maybe not. But if that happens chances are not bad other stars who right now make this team go will be on the downtrend of their careers or have left for other destinations.
Go Rams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
