That's a lot to give up for Zeke Elliot.

But if you look at what Gurley did for the Rams with NO quarterbacking, add Ezekiel Elliot to Bradford in that division and you might have a deep playoff run with a rookie RB. Arguably, RB is the biggest bang for the buck when it comes to rookies. That and DBs...

That said, it's already being confirmed.

Goff to Rams, Wentz to Eagles.

Draft won't be much of a surprise after all.

On to the 4th round.

Yup -- it's all smoke & mirrors right now. Until that card goes in and Goodell announces the pick, everything between now & then is just hot air and conjecture.

Whether you want the pick to go for Goff or Wentz -- right now, you're 100% correct. Right up until the moment that you're not.

Welcome to Schroedinger's Draft Pick.

I anxiously await the ESPN 30 for 30 about the time the Rams traded up to number 1 just to draft a dead cat. The 2016 draft will never be forgotten.

So now that the Eagles are at #2, bluff the shit out of them that we want their guy, if we know that info. Then we get a draft pick or player from them.

It makes no sense to tell the Eagles who we will pick. No competitive sense. Just my two pennies.

Yep. Note, he doesn't say that his sources corrected themselves, just that he was sold smoke.

This whole "misdirection" thing is gonna have "unintended consequences"...

Yay another thread. We were in desperate need. The other 30 were getting stale.
Well Jack - I caught the blue font AND thought it was funny. I can see how some missed that but still - I got a chuckle out of it.

Yeah, well, I heard a podcast this morning on CBS that had Sam Farmer on it. He said he spoke to numerous NFL Executives and Scouts and media analysts who said that it's Wentz and it's not even close. Everything that's happening now is posturing, and they've made this decision a long time ago.

Nothing is 100% certain, and I'd argue that the more you hear about the Rams leaning one way, the more likely they'll go the other.

If the Rams don't take Wentz now, will Farmer get his shorts in a knot like Jim Thomas did when they traded Bradford? My got, do these coaches enjoy pissing off reporters? :mrburnsevil:

Browns or Eagles, this idea would never work. Think about it as a rival executive. Rams want the same QB you want but they'll give up the rights to draft hm for the sake of an extra pick? Come on.

OMG I just need this to be over already. There's still a week to go, and I've already changed my mind 5-6 times. AND YOU GUYS ARE NOT FUKIN HELPING... I read Jerry, and fall in love with Goff. I read Mack, and have visions of Wentz in Blue and Gold. I read X, look at his avatar, and wash down a number with another white Russian...I'm losin my mind, not getting SHIT done at work, ignoring my wife...please, God, just let this be over...and don't let them fuck it up...

What I'm saying is why ever tell them? It's ridiculous, it gains us nothing.

Well, we'll all find out how it went down, because of Hard Knocks.

Yeah .... and Albright is a pretty straight shooter. For him to come out with this retraction tells me a lot. He wouldn't do this for "gamesmanship"

NFLN's host Andrew Siciliano, said that Fisher tipped his hand today, but wouldn't say what it was, or what he did. Siciliano does our Ram preseason games, and actually likes the Rams. NFLN's two former NFL scouts almost came to blows when discussing who the Rams would take, and why, then they all voted. Andrew Siciliano voted for Goff. It was 2 to 2.

It's pretty entertaining.
