Last year a number of teams tagged and traded players, specifically edge rushers like Dee Ford, Frank Clark, and Jadeveon Clowney.
I am thinking this is what the Rams will do with Fowler so they can get their pick this year. While they won't get a #1, I can see them getting a #2 or more if Fowler can finish strong.
In fact getting Ramsey can actually improve Fowler's value by increasing his sack totals.
This also makes sense because teams can only receive 4 comp picks and with Brockers, Blythe, Bortles, Littleton, & Christian due for FA, you still would be likely to get 4 comp picks.
This is all about maximizing your young depth to replace high priced FAs, which re-shapes the team's salary structure to accommodate a longer championship window.
Also about maximizing your resources.
So these next 8 games are huge to see if Fowler can demand a decent trade value and to see if Obo can replace him. If the answers are yes and yes, thats a big help towards the Rams long-term success.
