Since the 2017 draft there has been a lot of discussion on the Rams selections, and none more so on the failure to draft Forrest Lamp. Now for the record I was a "Lampian" and was very excited about the possibility of grabbing him with our 37th pick. (Heh.....excited enough that I was on board with trading up to get him even though it would cost valuable picks that we sorely need.)
So you can imagine my elation when he fell to us at our pick only to be immediately followed by complete disgust in ignoring him and negotiating a trade back.
At any rate since that time I have had some time to cool off a bit and take another look at the situation. It has occurred to me that in some ways we may be better off now with the two players we got (Everett and Johnson) than if we had stayed at #37 and taken Mr. Lamp.
Actually I seem to go back and forth on this one so hence this thread......
So how about it? If we somehow had a do over which scenario would ya'll prefer? Lamp @37 or Everett and Johnson?
And please include your reasoning for the choice you like.
