It's why this franchise has been in the toilet forever.
McVay said that one reason they could do the GR trade was because Brown was
coming through and Donnal was
showing things (which presumably means depth).
And Hav is already a starter.
If that holds up it means they got 3 viable linemen, including 2 starters, in one draft.
So it's not all mistakes. GR was a swing and a miss on a highly regarded prospect...okay, goes in the negative column. But then
if what they are saying now holds up, they got 2 starters and good depth with a 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. That goes in the positive column.
Btw if you look back, the MAJOR reason the Rams have had losing seasons forever is several seasons worth of major, "far more than usual" level injuries at qb and on the OL.
So it's not JUST some draft mistakes.
I would say that your doing some projecting. Those positives are possible, but definitely not a sure thing. Hav had one good year, and an injury plagued, mediocre second year. He is still very possibly a very viable starter, but certainly isn't a lock. All of the other guys are very big question marks.
Of course I am doing some projecting. Which is why I said as much. Look back at the red-bolded comments in my quoted post here. Those are all qualiifications and caveats.
McVay saying it is different from me just making it up. So I said what McVay said. And I qualified it. And I used phrases like "coming through" as opposed to "is set in stone."
So I already accounted for your objections.
