I'm pretty sure they didn't prove they were the smartest guy in the room.
The smartest guy in the room would have had common sense.
Say it ain't so BQ...!!!

Draft Analysis:
Mayock's take: "The Greatest Show on Turf personally welcomes Brian Quick. He's a height, weight, speed specimen. His production could be a little delayed, but he will be fast-tracked by the Rams' coaching staff. ... This is a guy they're going to need production from right away."

Arrogance and ignorance always sit close together. An arrogant person/player-pleaser (Jeff Fisher) cannot really know a lot,as there is so little room in their minds for ideas i.e. scouting department- they are so full of shit.

Since, 2002, yes. But in recent years not so much.
Chris Long, Robert Quinn, Michael Brockers, Tavon, Aaron Donald, TGII.
I still think Sam Bradford would've been a good QB if not for his injuries (as evidenced by his 2012 season that carried on in 2013). So yeah.

Fisher amplified the error in drafting Quick by not even being able to find a quality wr to replace him.
The guy should have been replaced years ago.

Quick didn't have a chance with the Rams. He was already extremely raw and deficient in football IQ. Couple that with offensive coaching staffs during his Rams career that were at best, very mediocre (when not downright awful), and the hole is dug even deeper. And then, putting him on a team without solid veterans to show him how to be a pro, and you've pretty much got a fail-safe recipe for producing a bust.
For Quick to even have had a chance at being a good pro, he needed to go to a team with an offensive-minded coaching staff, and a quality one at that, and one that had several good WR's in front of him that knew how to play the game at the pro level. Basically, he had to go to a perfect situation, and only then, maybe he could have developed into a solid WR. But as I noted above, he already had inherent deficiencies in terms of being raw and lacking in football knowledge, and bringing him to the Rams in 2012 virtually cemented his place as a bust.

I don't know about CL. We picked him 2nd overall to be Quinn pretty much, but he struggled early on and had to be moved to left end where it's easier. I like the guy but he ended up being an average starter. He wasnt bad but I wouldn't say we hit with that pick.

Pretty happy with the return on investment, considering the other option in the running was Glenn Dorsey.

Alternatively, it could've been Vernon Gholston. I think we nailed the Long pick, considering what was left. And before people say "Matt Ryan," we were paying Bulger a huge contract that prevented us from drafting another quarterback who would be paid a ton of money, due to the rookie contracts going up during that time.

Pre-draft buzz that proved to be demonstrably false. It was a few reporters guessing. He came into the Combine shortly after at 216 pounds. He's not had any weight issues during his NFL career.
He's been a consistently very good WR since he entered the NFL. I'm fine with people having their doubts about him deserving a monster contract, but if you still have doubts about him as a player based on your opinion of him as a prospect, you're in a lot of denial.
Assuming Alshon continues to play like he has, I'd still love for the Rams to grab him next year if he hits FA again.
