Did we have any chance to get DeAndre Hopkins?

Basically did we have any picks or players that would allow us to rob the Texans like what the Cardinals did? Hopkins is my dream wide receiver for the Rams.

I would have traded Gurely and Cooks for him in a heartbeat. Sorry cooks love you and all but damn that would have been one crazy WR room.

I don't think we did. It took everyone by surprise.

I’m sure we could have made a move for him but I’m glad we didn’t. We have needs elsewhere.

But if we had him instead of Cooks, we win the Superbowl easily. Nuk catch radius is crazy!

But we couldn’t pay him his salary this year. Then we can’t improve the OLine or lb or replace Brockers. I get it playing Madden is fun but this isn’t in any way shape or form realistic to add him.

I meant if we had him instead of Cooks when Watkins was no longer a Rams. Like if he was an option back then along with Cooks and OBJ.

Hopkins wasn't available then why even worry about it or bring it up? I wanted the Rams to draft him instead of Austin but it's in the past. We didn't have a need for Hopkins this year or a need for him and he hurt our chances to improve the rest of the team beyond our already very very good WR room.

Bet if we traded Hopkins for Cooks and gave them a 4th they would of took it.

Kevin received a call and and checked his pockets and he only had 17 cents. So we couldn’t do the deal
