Kiltman Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 3 hours ago, BStanRamFan said: According to Tony Pauline (who?), the Broncos and Rams are front runners for CB Darius Slay... None of that makes sense from a Rams perspective. Don't understand how its even feasible or why we would want it to be given limited cap, limited draft resources, and a need to pay Ramsey. I think he used to work for SI back in the day? He's jumped around a lot. Does a lot more college scouting, but has been around for a long time...knows a lot of people. I think he's from the northeast or at least I know he talks to our more intuned football writers/reporters a lot (Geoff Mosher, Adam Caplan, etc.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The McVay Rams have consistently placed a premium on the CB position. This would not surprise me. The cost of another trade could be a problem though.

dtait93 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Conklin’s a fantastic run blocker, but I think whoever pays him top dollar is going to be disappointed when they find out he’s a mostly average pass blocker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's crazy..Luckily a bump in the cap should be saving them a bit soon..then they can use the leftover 25 mil on the other 48 players.

Our cap issues are greatly exaggerated. We have 6 picks this year no 1st or 5th and 2 in the 4th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again which means we likely trade for Slay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Lions were interested in Malcolm Brown last year. Brown, tag/trade Fowler, Haventstein for Slay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Average pass blocker? Our starting RT was Chris Hubbard. Abysmal would be a complement for that turd. Give me average all day long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eight last year eleven the year before eight the year before that. This year we're at 6 and will end up with 8 or 9 picks made. It's what Les Snead does. We'll likely trade NRC for a day 3 pick there's a very real possibility of tagging and trading Fowler then you trade down once pick up an extra pick and boom we're at 9 or 10 picks without batting an eye. Again our position is greatly exaggerated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know that the Lions actually need a RT I thought it was more IOL they needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And trading down has it's price, you're getting lesser quality picks at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr LBC Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 1 minute ago, Danger said: you're getting lesser quality picks at that. That bit doesn't really hold up past face-value. You're getting a lower-probability of a high-quality talent, but there's no way of actually substantiating the statement you made with empirical data. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
