Heck yeah. Elite type CB’s are rare and we would have TWO of them! Find the danged money!	15		65%
Nope. Rams are at their cap limit with huge individual contracts. Save the money for other emerging players.	5		22%
Other. Please explain.	3		13%

Important question, to be sure.

IF our emerging DW has another year in ‘21 like he did last year then I don’t think it would be a stretch to call him elite. And for him to expect to be paid as such.

On the one hand we all know that the Rams place great value on top CB play and the Ramsey/DW tandem would be at or near the top. A DC’s dream, huh?

But on the other hand Snead has proven adept at finding quality CB’s time and again. Plus, this is reportedly a bumper crop CB class with great depth, so maybe the smart play is for Snead to focus on bringing in a good outside CB this draft and plan on having him replace the very expensive DW in ‘22?

I’m conflicted. Great CB’s are invaluable but how many elite type contracts can the Rams afford? Or, put another way, how many other players are the Rams willing to lose if they decide to franchise DW or give him a top 5 extension?

This is a ‘next year’ champagne problem, but still...
