Keyshawn with Shelley Smith talking Rams and Goff.
Go to the 27 min mark for Goff discussion....

What Keyshawn is saying is that Fsiher never said he didn't want anything to do with Goff, rather Fisher didn't want to trade up for any QB that high. Fisher wanted to use the picks to keep building the team with WRs and more defense. Fisher felt he could get a QB later and win with a better supporting cast.
If true, this doesn't conflict with what Mike Silver said. Silver said Fisher wanted Goff. All that means to me is that Fisher preferred Goff to Wentz once he made the trade. Silver never said that Fisher preferred the trade in the first place.
This is plausible to me. It does fit Fisher's philosophy of defense first. It is similar to Belichick in that respect and I could never see Bill making that trade up either.
I have been told that Keyshawn stated Kroenke ordered Fisher to draft Goff.
And this Fisher didn't want to trade up doesn't sound great either. So who made the decision to trade up? Snead? Kroenke? Who?
