No. We have seen enough evidence that this guy is a problem waiting to happen. Or, they could go the other route and draft Winston and DGB. We could place wagers on who goes to prison first. We could double down on it too: The guy who goes to prison first isn't always the guy that goes for longest term. The possibilities are unlimited!
No thanks on DGB.

If you really want him, you better take him at 10.

I wouldn't touch him until at least the 5th or 6th round. Picks are just too valuable to take a risk on a to date habitual problem.
1st Round Talent with an un-draftable mentality. I hope he gets it turned around but too much risk to use a premium pick.

If we can keep Britt, then no, I see no reason to spend a pick on DGB.
However....
If there is a chance that Quick won't be able to go to start the season and we don't resign Britt...
...maybe.
We would have to trade back because we don't currently have enough picks to take risks.
But if we could pick up some other picks and get DGB in the second?
Sure. Why not?
He does have sky-high potential and Fisher is the right kind of guy, this is the right kind of locker room....

The kid's a top-10 talent. No doubt about that. He's a Randy Moss/Calvin Johnson clone, and adding that type of player would be huge for this team. Unfortunately, he has a 10-cent brain.
I wouldn't take him at #10, and I feel that's where we'd have to draft him if we want him. If he falls to us in the 2nd round... man, that'd be hard to turn down. Getting Randy Moss in Round 2 is an opportunity that can't be ignored, regardless of his potential character concerns.
Honestly, my instincts tell me that STL is too close to home for him. Springfield is just a 3-hour drive, so he'll have easy contact with all his bum/low-life friends who've been dragging him down from the start. As much as I'd love to see the Rams get a dominant WR, I think he needs to go far away from Springfield to be successful.
The thing that gives me hope is Fisher. Maybe he's the guy that can get him straightened out, the way he did it for Jenkins and now Britt.

Disagree. While DGB likes him some pot, he's no raging alcoholic like Blackmon.
A better comparison would be Gordon, but I'm not sure he's that bad yet.
You don't take him at 2. You have better, more reliable WR options at 10. White or Parker.
You take him in either a trade down to late 1st, or you take him in the 2nd, which is pick 8 for us I believe.

On the brighter side, we'd be a shoo in to win the Rams vs. Allenville Penitentiary Guards game...

Or both guys could mature like many young players do and we end up with two freakishly gifted players.

And it would not be hard to do the math...Winston to DGB = 6 or Winston & DGB = 6-10 (years).

Unless Fisher is bluffing already, he thinks that this is a weak draft class. Trading back is not the way to go in a weak class, unless it is only an incremental move. Remember that is why he was willing to give a 4th and 6th for Barron.
I would trade late rounders to move up. If Free agency goes well and. The Rams get a Guard and Center maybe they pull a Ditka and trade all of the picks to move up for Winston.

2014 was one of the best draft classes I can remember in a while with all the talent in each round.
This class doesn't really stack up nearly as well. Though O-Line seems pretty deep.

Yeah it is a good class to grab a guard or Center. Maybe they do the reverse of what I said and take care of the QB before the draft. I would be fine with that. I was hoping that they even go BPA at least in round 1 and end up with Kevin White but things I am reading/hearing now is that White is considered to be the best WR in the class, so that may be out. Of all the Olinemen I have watched this year Cam Erving would be the guy I target over any of them.

Ending up with Cooper or Parker would be nothing to snooze at at #10 if White goes 1st. Barring trades, I'm not sure who in front of us dearly needs a WR besides OAK.

Yeah I know. I just was really hoping for White.
