Anybody notice that 7 of our 8 draft picks made the 53?

It's called cheap labor... key is how many stick around and develop into significant contributors by year 3.

Unfortunately for the Rams it is.
Need a right on button. Been there before, truth.

I can't wait until they are fully developed and leave for other teams at the peak of their career.

My thoughts exactly
It's not a good sign that we drafted players that can actually impact the team and make the roster? I supposed if the opposite were true you'd be happy with only 1 of the 8 making the team? No I have a feeling that would have you screaming at the world for Snead to be fired.

Well said, OldSchool.

It simply amazes me when fans dismiss what should be very good news on the draft/FA front.

WTH do they want, anyway? Sigh...

I did't say it's totally bad...just a lil disconcerting that 5th, 6th, and 7th rounders could beat out veterans...that WERE drafted higher....

The bottom of the roster should experience a little turnover....this seems like a bit much.

Were the veterans all drafted higher though? The bottom of the roster is usually made up of bottom of the draft UDFA types. Every team has at least 10 guys new a year most teams average closer to 15 new. We had 20 which considering a new coach isn't all that bad. Especially when you consider how bad the team was last year.

I would have been surprised if McVay kept some of Fisher's picks over his own..........
