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.
Good - Fisher didn't want to trade away so many picks
Bad - Kroenke may have meddled into football operations
Bad - Once forced into taking a QB at #1, Fisher chose Goff over Wentz
I just don't know what to believe or how to feel about all of these things. Seems like it all adds up to an overall negative.
Well, you have to cut Fisher some slack if he didn't want to trade away all the picks. That was the best move. I recall that Prescott was on their radar and imagine us having Prescott and all those picks.
The Goff - Wentz debate isn't over yet so we don't know for sure if the Goff choice was really worse than Wentz.
