But we have made some of the worst draft choices as a team
Did you get a chance to watch the video? I wasn't criticizing the Rams trading with Houston, even though they paid a ton, especially back then, to get him. Indianapolis traded up to get him but traded with the wrong team! Instead of trading with Houston, who were asking a lot, they rolled the dice, hoping Houston would draft Everett when they already had Warren Moon. But they took him anyway and basically held him for ransom. Which the Rams paid. But it was worth it for the Rams for a nice handful of years.
Everett was a real rising star all the way through the end of the '80's. Led the league in TD passes in '88 & '89 and had the Rams in the NFC Championship. The proverbial clock struck midnight though and his career quickly went off track with the start of the '90's.
