IMO.. The St. Louis Rams are at the point where we desperately need a Quarterback. Can we be competitive with a non franchise QB? Sure. We proved that this year. Can we even make the playoffs with one of these lesser QBs? Again, sure. A few more bounces our way and we may have done that this year. But to take that next step and be competitive in the playoffs and beyond, we need that true to form franchise quarterback.
Luckily for us, there is one available in this draft, Jared Goff. Again luckily for us a lot of the teams drafting ahead of us likely wont be in the market for a new QB. With that being said, who do you think our biggest competition is for Goff? Where would we have to move up to in order to select him? and whats your bottom line for what you'd be willing to give up in order to secure Goff?
According to ESPN, this is the current Draft order for 2016 (Along with my predictions of who might take a qb)
Tennessee Titans 3-13 0.188 (No chance Marriota)
2 Cleveland Browns 3-13 0.188 (Possible, but I think they give Manziel a shot)
3 San Diego Chargers 4-12 0.250 (No they have Rivers and other more pressing needs)
4 Dallas Cowboys 4-12 0.250 (I think they stick with Romo and address other needs)
5 Jacksonville Jaguars 5-11 0.313 (No shot Bortles)
6 Baltimore Ravens 5-11 0.313 (No shot Flacco)
7 San Francisco 49ers 5-11 0.313 (Could be our biggest competition)
8 Miami Dolphins 6-10 0.375 (No Shot)
9 Tampa Bay Buccaneers 6-10 0.375 (No shot Winston)
10 New York Giants 6-10 0.375 (No shot Manning)
11 Chicago Bears 6-10 0.375 (No shot Cutler)
12 New Orleans Saints 7-9 0.438 (Likely no unless they change Head coaches and move brees)
13 Philadelphia Eagles 7-9 0.438 (Definitely maybe)
14 Oakland Raiders 7-9 0.438 (No Shot Carr)
15 St. Louis Rams 7-9 0.438 (GIMME JARED GOFF!!!)
So by my estimation, we have 3 out of the 14 teams ahead of us to worry about. The Browns, The 9ers, and the Eagles. On top of that, one of the teams may value Paxton lynch over Goff so that's definitely in play.
Where do you think the rams would/should move up to in order to draft Goff? And what would you feel comfortable giving up to do so?
For me. Im doing whatever it takes. Id offer an RG3 type deal and Jump Clevland in order to secure Goff. I think hes that special. and although that's a lot of draft capital its worth it to land your franchise qb. Think of it this way, after year 1 of the RG3 trade, no one in washington was regretting all they gave up when it looked like RG3 was revolutionizing the game. It was only after injuries and other factors derailed his career that the trade looked terrible. If Clevland is not in the market for a QB or prefers Lynch to Goff I'd say we would have to jump the 9ers to be comfortable and work out a trade with the Ravens.
So...what say you?
