We literally had debates, here, on Justin Jefferson's viability as anything other than a slot guy and I was one of his biggest supporters. I'm still not giving that up for a WR. You don't win because of first round WRs and you certainly don't win giving up that kind of price for one. Good thing football isn't just about the next "five years." Nice arbitrary time period btw. Good luck sustaining success by being the LA Rams. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still never dreamed he would be this good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My two guys were JJ and Love. Nobody thought JJ would be this good so the idea that you'd be trading up for a "special" talent is 100% hindsight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once JJ went I started texting people we're getting Love for sure, while still not expecting it. Had no idea anyone else wanted those two as their guys.

I was on here talking about JJ and Love pretty much exclusively that draft process. I do believe that Javon Kinlaw was the only other guy I really targeted but wasn't on the same level of a love affair as Jordan and JJ (no pun intended). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO Love hasn't really shown above average arm strength as of yet. You are putting a lot of weight into one throw that really was nothing but a bad decsion. I would really like to be wrong, but cant agree on Love showing more than Fields, I'd really like to see Love throw some passes that dont appear tentative. Just let it rip and see what he has. I hope what he has is a lot more than what has been made evident thus far. Love's arm strength isn't an issue. I can't believe we're having to even discuss this. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, here's the thing...he didn't have to be this good to make the impact he would have made on this team. Imagine him with 17 and 83 as your speed guy? Lol, it wouldn't be fair.

He was arguably a top 5 WR as a rookie. NOBODY predicted him to be this good this quick. You might have thought that he was going to be that good sometime down the line, but not this quickly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I did like Reagor and thought he'd be there at 26 as an option. I thought JJ was going top 10-15. When he fell to 20+ we should have pounced. At least we "tried" according to reports to go up and get him so I can respect that, but who knows what we offered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literal quote from you in the 2020 draft thread. Quote I don't see a trade up. The only two WRs worth trading up for are Jeudy and Lamb and both would require trading up to the 10-15 range meaning we'd have to sell a lot in the deal. I wouldn't make any type of trade for Ruggs or Jefferson, not even a few spots So quit talking out of your *** Edited November 26, 2021 by beekay414 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to quote that one too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
