Here’s my thinking...
The worst case scenario, IMO, is that Snead can’t do a modest tradedown and will be forced to take the 25th best non-QB or non-WR football player in this draft.
And that’s assuming that not one single team ahead of us makes any eval mistakes. An unlikely event, indeed.
Then there’s the fact that the Rams are not desperate for any given player or position. They can literally select any player that they really like that falls into their lap and still be happy.
Few talent evaluators can match Snead’s ability in recent years, so the hit rate on a pick at #31 should likely be very high. That can’t be overstated.
Again, the above constitutes the WORST case scenario for the Rams, IMO.
I’m guessing that there will be at least a dozen players sitting there at 31 that they would be very happy to have.
Now, if Snead can pull off a tradedown as I hope? Then it gets even better because Snead would still have 2-5 fairly equally rated players to pick from AND an extra 3rd or 4th.
I’m loving this draft chess match unfold.
Hot Damn!
