Wagoner Chat Highlights
—The interest in Britt is a head scratcher to me. I agree with you completely. Britt is not a clear upgrade and would take valuable reps from the young receivers on the roster.
—I don’t think the Rams are ignoring the QBs in this draft but I also think they, like everybody else, don’t see an elite QB in this class. I do wonder if they had the 2 pick this year and Luck/RG3 were coming out how that would alter their perception of Bradford.
—Khalil Mack a Fit for the Rams? I just don’t see it. He’s a great player but best used as a 3-4 OLB and though you could theoretically find ways to get him on the field in the 4-3, how much?
—Aaron Donald? Would be surprised if they used a first round pick on another DT with the other needs they have but you can never say never, I suppose.
—Greg Reid? Until proven otherwise, camp body. He hasn’t played in a few years. But he’s coming to the right team to have a chance since the Rams don’t have many bodies in the secondary right now.
—I’m a fan of Johnny Football, have said as much all along. But it’s simply not worth discussing because, unless the Rams are pulling off the biggest smokescreen of all time, they aren’t taking a QB at No. 2.
—Multiple first round trades wouldn’t be a surprise. The Rams did it last year so your proposal would be the same, only in reverse of how they did it in ’13. As for the safeties, I’m not as high on the top two as others but I suppose I’d understand if the Rams took one at 13. I do think a CB like Gilbert or even Dennard (who would be a good scheme fit) would be fine at 13.
—I think there’s interest in potentially bringing Dahl back. But they do have high hopes for Jones and Brandon Washington. I still expect them to add more OL help in the draft.
—I’m a believer that if they don’t take one of the top two WR’s they might as well just pass on the position altogether. But with 12 picks, I think they’d probably take one at some point.
—Let’s just get it out of the way right now: I don’t believe the Rams will be players in the pursuit of DeSean Jackson. Obviously, he’s a talented player and the Eagles let him go for a reason. Wouldn’t you want to know what that reason is first? Also, I don’t believe the Rams have the money to make a run at him nor would they be wise to spend the money they do have on him.
—Whether you agree with them or not, the Rams believe in Bradford and think he can be the guy for the future. However, I don’t expect anything to happen on the contract extension front this year so if he gets hurt again or struggles in 2014, it may not happen.
—Were Rams Really Interested in Sanchez? Only mildly but never as much as they were Shaun Hill. If Hill had gone elsewhere, maybe they’d have had more interest. But Sanchez to Philly seemed like it was certain either way.
—Well as it stands today, they have McDonald as one starter at Safety. Then they have McLeod, Daniels and Cody Davis coming back. I believe they’ll add a potential starter at some point in the draft.
—What Happened With Givens? Well there were a few things. One, Givens dealt with some nagging injuries all season. Two, he never seemed to get on the same page with Clemens after Sam Bradford got hurt. Deep ball accuracy isn’t Clemens’ specialty and that’s clearly a big part of Givens’ game. Givens also simply didn’t progress how they hoped in terms of intermediate route running and, at times, didn’t fight for the ball the way he needed to. I still think he can be a productive receiver but he needs to come back more polished and ready to get after it. The opportunity is still there.
—Fisher’s Comments on the Rams WR’s? It can be hard to decipher what’s real and what’s not this time of year. I think part of it is they have to express as much confidence as possible in the current group to keep them motivated. It’s hard to take those comments at face value while the team is pursuing Kenny Britt, though.
