Rams tried to trade up for Ashton Gillotte in round 3

Of course trading up isn't always a bad thing. In this particular instance though I prefer the player we ended up with, but the story hasn't even started there so we'll see how it turns out.

Other than that, like you mentioned before a potential trade of a future late 2nd for a present early 3rd would obviously be a steal for the Rams if that was the case. However if the media is correct about 2026 being a much stronger class, I still don't like the idea of trading that draft capital. Iirc the media at this time last year was saying 2025 would be a weaker class than 2024 and they appeared to have been right about that.

I also didn't like trading the future 4th, but that's a bit more amenable as a mid round pick imo.

I think they may have wanted Gillotte because he’s more of a Hoecht build. Stewart is on the small side.

After they traded up for Fiske they said, or it was reported that they didn’t really like any of the DL options that would be left on the board, and they had a higher grade on Fiske, than where they ended up picking him. So, if they had a late first round grade on Fiske, that trade for a future second round pick was a steal. Maybe this was a similar situation.

Plus in a weak class and few needs it makes sense to trade up. If they were willing to give up next years second round pick for Gillotte they must have had a pretty high grade on him.

So what's the strategy?

So instead of 3 picks on day 2 we now have two picks. But, a big one next year. I believe our Falcons pick will be somewhere between 10 and 15. Ours anywhere from mid 20's to 30's. Question is, what did they have in mind when they made the trade?

Are they planning on packaging the two firsts to move up and draft Stafford's eventual replacement? Or are they planning on using a pick to make another all in trade for another run at a championship?

Or do they add more first round talent to the roster for the future? Guys on their rookie deals for a few years?

Seems like they have options for this year and next. I just don't know what they have planned. Should be interesting.

Could be they have been planning for a couple of years. Last year we traded Jones and Skowronek and took the picks next year instead of this year. They are low picks, but you will want them if you trade away some of your higher picks.

Kinda fun to see where she thought we'd get Paul and where we got him.

The announcer said the Lakers will need a double digit lead entering the 4th to have a chance. They had a ten point lead. And it wasn't enough. I don't know if the Lakers will win at home but I don't see them making the next round. They really needed a rim protector.

Does Lebron come back next year? I haven't heard anything about him not returning. If he can still play at the level he played this year, if they get a legit rim protector and rebounder I can see them challenging for a title. Most games they play they will have the two best players on the court. Is that enough?

IMO where all one in our ways & that’s what makes THE WORLD GREAT!! What STAN KRONKE has done is FREAKING AMAZING!!

I still need to walk down Prairie.If anyone comes to LAX for a RAMS game.Walk to the corner Liquor store on the right under the bridge;405fwy). Grab a beer & walk down to that NEW Arena on the right on prairie blvd.Then go back to Century & walk to the Hollywood Casino.Have beer.Then Go by SOFI & the great western forum.
I erased half of this.I remember Loyal(I believe) talked about owning right there.I posted regret about not buying at the time.I could only imagine walking home & to work each week.I do wonder about the HOA though ?? It can’t be cheap..

I have faith in Foster McVay wanted him for RB coach plus it’s tough at UCLA. Football has always been secondary and being a State School seems to handicap them from time to time.

I get all that but they had a pretty easy Big 10 schedule, no Michigan or OSU. They tried to run Chip Kelly out of town for only winning 8/9 games a year. 18 ppg is pretty bad. If they go 4-8 or so next year with Nico, its likely they clean house
