To me the 40 time was always overrated. Kupp has great hands and has a great 10 yard dash and his 3 cone numbers are good. Rarely do you see receivers run 40 yards down field in a straight line. The way receivers separate is in that 10 yard burst and through sudden movements. Now if you can combine a great 40 with the quickness off the ball and the ability to cut quickly, then even better. None of it matters if the guy can't catch though.
You add a legit number 1 and everybody else falls into their better suited roles as complementary receivers. This was a much needed trade for the Rams. Yes there are injury risks and yes he can walk after the season, but if you want to give Goff a chance you have to get him better weapons. They added a quality LT, a number one receiver, and a bright offensive mind to coach. He needs to step up and perform.
