1st Round | Pick 1, Rams Select: QB Jared Goff

[RamzFanz]

Here's what Stan Kroenke had to say about Goff's demeanor and confidence (story in LA Times):

"We didn't make the trade without knowing the guy we wanted; we would never do that," said Kroenke. "You know the guy you want or you don't make the trade."

They want him for his 6-foot-4 frame, for his arm that led to 78 touchdowns and 20 interceptions in his final two Cal seasons, for his decision that led to uncanny consistency in the red zone. But the Rams are also thrilled because they think he possesses the intangibles that Kroenke was checking out when he sat next to Goff at their recent interview dinner.

"I made a point of sitting next to Jared, I wanted to get a sense of this kid, in a sense Jared was in the hot seat," Kroenke said. "He was very calm, very collected, very mature, very intelligent, not awed by L.A., frankly, he had a confidence to him, you could tell that."

I have more confidence in this assessment.

...and if you can't take the word of Stan Kroenke, who can you?

Did he say "I'm going to attempt to do everything that I can to help Goff succeed" because that would be the clincher for me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think that look was, " I am a dyed in the wool niners fan about to get picked number one by the team I hate the most!" Ha ha. Go Rams!

He can look at it this way, he can beat his favorite team twice and help them pick higher in the next draft each year.

Anyone else find it strange that the floating banner on the front page has a link to all the late round draft picks , but not to the number one over all pick in the draft ?
