Well, the adage is, you must have a partner to dance and the Los Angeles Rams must have a trade partner and value in order to make a trade. Again, if the value is there and you can add an additional pick or picks, then you always consider a trade down.
What I find amazing is the number of fans, who always communicate about trading down, but I believe if your guy is there, make the damn pick. It cost the Rams back in 2012 the Rams tried to get cute as linebackers Bobby Wagner & Mychal Kendricks were still on the board in the 2nd round and the Rams could have had their choice, but they traded down for an extra pick and by the time their pick was ready at 50th, Kendricks had gone to the Eagles and Wagner to the division rival Seahawks and the Rams ended up with RB Isiah Pead and have been peeing their pants ever since.
Snead’s trade down in 2012 that cost us Bobby Wagner was a fubar of biblical proportions, den. Still stings.
But, just to clarify, are you of the opinion that trading down is generally not what you would prefer? Just curious.
I’m assuming that trading up is generally not your preference. It’s certainly not mine. It’s fine for a Goff-like situation, but letting the draft come to the Rams seems far less costly/risky in general.
