Well 43, let's look at it this way.
First pre-season game is a couple days away and the Rams are changing starting CENTERS.
Rams went in to the draft needing a CENTER. Josh Myers, Creed Humphrey, Brady Christensen, Quinn Meinerz and Robert Hainsey were all on the board.
DJax was already on the roster, yet the Rams chose Tutu.
Now, PLAN A for the Rams is not working....Moving to PLAN B...I'm not liking it.
We go get STAFFORD and one of those CENTERS listed above are looking REAL GOOD right now to me. Just sayin'.....
I don’t really know where to start, oldschool.
Firstly, you’re assuming facts not in evidence. Namely, that ANY drafted OC (including my personal favorite Creed Humphrey) would have been able to start ahead of either Corbett or Allen.
Secondly, the Rams brain trust felt that a speed WR such as Atwell would help Stafford and this O a helluva lot more than any backup OC in this SB run year. The early reports on Atwell have been very encouraging.
Thirdly, Snead/McVay almost always go for talented skill players with their early picks. Hard to argue against that strategy given their recent successes, don’t you think?
Man, I’m loving this draft so far. It’s looking like an analytics bonanza up to and including Funk.
