deltarich87 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Rams gonna go about 7 years with no 1st round pick and completely punted the 2022 draft. They really gotta win it right now because that is some crazy strategy. Certainly primed for a SB run this year with that team now though. Of course GB gets to face them with Von Miller in a few weeks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green19 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Because their QB hasn’t won a playoff game… so they need to hedge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty damn good deal with the Rams overall given that they don't give a **** about draft picks anyways. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Consider LA's roster at this point. They have a lot of young guys that have yet to develop at many positions so they've set themselves up to punt on a draft if need be - plus the 2022 draft isn't supposed to really be all that good anyway so what are they missing on? The guys that have been drafted and developed have blown up for them for the mostpart(see Cooper Kupp/Darryl Henderson). As long as that offense can continue to put up the numbers they've put up, there is no reason to think that they aren't a legit Superb Owl contender. As I said in another thread however, that pass defense really needs to step up. We play them just before our BYE and Bakh may be back for that one as will our other WR's. It'll be a helluva game to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be a helluva game to watch. Even a poor draft year has some studs if you can find them. One could argue the GM doesn't trust his ability to find those studs. And one of the reasons they're so young I because they have to be, spending all your draft capital and cap on huge names trades/FAs, means the rest of the roster has to be young guys as that's all you can afford.

It'll be a helluva game to watch. I'm not sure anyone isn't suggesting that the Rams aren't Super Bowl contenders. But the draft picks they have used haven't really amounted to much in the past few drafts. Not a single pick last year is a current starter for the Rams. From the 2020 draft, the Rams had a part-time starter in Cam Akers, a second year starter in Van Jefferson, and Jordan Fuller as starters. The 2019 draft has had Taylor Rapp and David Henderson as starters. That's 4.5 starters over the last 3 drafts. For the Packers, you look like you have starters in Eric Stokes, Josh Myers, Jon Runyan, Rashan Gary, Darnell Savage, and Elgton Jenkins.

{Family Ghost} Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 So who are the Packers going to land? LaFleur sounded like a guy that was expecting an addition or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

15412 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 OBJ may indeed be traded, but not to GB. We have no need at WR and we have no need for cancer. More notably we do not have the cap situation to make such a move plausible. IF we make a trade it will be for cheap for a player like LB Melvin Ingram or TE Mike Gesicki. Or a player from a doomed team heading for rebuilding who is having a fire sale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packfanfb Posted November 2, 2021 Author Share Posted November 2, 2021 I'd love to see the Packers go for broke and land a guy like Fletcher Cox for the D line, but his contract may be too hard to manage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which, I don't see how they can with their cap situation next year, but stranger things have happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green19 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 I don’t know if GB trades for anyone but if Desean Jackson gets released by the rams… I bet he comes to GB because he and Aaron have talked in the past… cal and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
