With what Senior Ram management know right NOW, do you think they would have drafted a QB in the first round maybe or 2nd round in May?
FWIW I was extremely high on Bortles coming out and even took him in our R.O.D draft. I almost wanted to draft him and bid off Sam to the highest bidder TBH. Would he have made a difference you think? I keep wrestling with this....

List which QB you think we would have drafted and why.

They wouldn't have drafted Bortles. But knowing what they do now...they might have taken a second round QB like Carr or Garoppolo. But that's idle speculation. Because they didn't have the gift of hindsight and that would have greatly altered their draft strategy.

Why those two? As I recall, we brought Carr in for a visit and he fell to the 2nd. We could have traded up for him. Garoppolo makes sense as a scheme fit as well and would be around for our second round pick.

It's also possible they would have went for someone like Aaron Murray in the 4th round.

I think the Rams probably would have picked a QB in the first 2 rounds. Not sure who - really depends on who they liked. It would have probably changed our draft quite a bit to where we wouldn't have someone like a Donald or Joyner.

I'd rather have drafted a QB in Fisher's first year, a Wilson or Foles in the 3rd round that year, hell even Cousins in the 4th would be a better situation than the one we're currently in.

I was inn favor of using a third round pick ,no higher,but really no lower either,but as jrry says hindsight isn't a reasonable assumption so the question makes no sense,if I'd known Microsoft was gonna ............................ but WHOKNEW?

Anyone who knows me from RRF knows I wanted Garoppolo and thought they should of drafted in the 2nd.

That being said Joyner would of been hard to pass on at the time of last years draft.

If they had 20-20 hindsight they could have kept Bradford from getting hurt in the first place.

You are correct! They would have had to have 20-20 foresight to have held Bradford out for that one play/

Voted no before I read the question. Probably would have taken one in the 2nd. Garapolo.

Let's be honest here, folks... Fisher had a plan that we all thought was good. He had Bradford coming back as a starter and signed Hill as a very good, emergency back-up. Someone wrote the other day that many, if not most, of the other teams have (or had) a worse QB situations that the Rams. It's just bad luck to lose your starting QB in the preseason.

Honestly, not all of us thought Fisher's plan was good, but it is what it is.

Easy to say they should draft a position. Harder to say that they would have liked the players available at that position.

I voted no. I wanted Murray in the 4th. Even had he been drafted, he still probably wouldn't be starting right now, but I still like the kid.

I said no also. Garoppolo was the only guy I really liked out of the top choices. I'd like to have Mettenberger or Murray, but I was gunning for Tajh Boyd as a high-ceiling prospect.

At this rate of losing 2 QB in only 1/2 of a regular season game played, I think in hindsight they should have drafted a QB in EVERY round
