I think (sometimes) that the Rams would only move down is if it is a position of need, which it is not.
They did try to move up last year for McMillan and tried to move up the year before for Odunze. So they might move up if they love the player, even if the need isn't immediate.
 
I think they might throw in 93 to move to a few spots to get him.
In that 6 range I think it was the points line up for them to give up 13 & 29 for it and get back a round 3 pick. Which in this draft isn't too bad.

So if any of the top BPA types slide to that point the Rams have the means to go get them.

If Love makes it to 13 he will 100% be the BPA. And the Rams will either take him or take a trade down.
I 100% believe they would take him.

Look at what Gurley was in a McVay offense.. Love would be transcendent.

But..... no effing way he lasts that long. Maybe I'm wrong. Gibbs went 12.

For a true gamebreaker, 3 down potential back... I'd do it.

I like him more than I liked Gibbs. And I liked Gibbs a lot.

Tangentially related... if you believe as does Solak and many others that the RB draft class is pretty meh, do you take Love if available and turn Corum for some draft capital. I doubt you'd get a lot but maybe a 5th with possible change. You'd basically being paying two rounds for his services over two years.
I could see taking Love because he's a gamebreaker, but it wouldn't be related at all to this being a weak class. I'd hope for a 4th for Corum.

Both were receivers. And it can be argued we have a need.

There were rumors we really wanted Bowers, too. All of these coveted players were pass catchers.

I've heard no rumors that we've been after a RB.

What would it cost to move up to like 9?

Tet was certainly not a need last year with Puka and Adams at the top. But maybe it would've put their offense over the top. Love would as well.

Rams like to pivot on things, so I never count them out. I was confidently telling people that Dotson was likely gone because we don't pay interior linemen. Then they ended up not only paying Dotson, but adding Jonah Jackson for big money. Rams don't seem to behold themselves to even their own tendencies.

Basically third round pick. Ish.

Yeah, they definitely changed their thinking on IOL. That was a leaguewide trend. On pass catchers, McVay has been looking for special players there since he got here. His affinity for that skillset seems much higher than for RB. So, I still don't think they would go with Love, but you could be right. If they do, I'd jump on board.

Yeah. I wish he wasn't so spooked by RB. The home run hitting ability of Love would really help the offense as a whole. Not to mention loosen up some of the coverage looks.
