What if Gabriel had remained a Ram?

I never questioned the trade of Roman Gabriel in its aftermath because the Rams had a great season with John Hadl in 1973. But Hadl was soon out of the picture. What might the Rams have done if Gabriel had been a strong leader in 1974 and beyond? Part of such a discussion would have to include the trove of draft picks the Rams got from the Packers for Hadl.
