Alternative First-Pick Complaints

[DCH]

[HOW IT IS]
Todd Gurley? Are you nuts? Who's gonna block for him? Argh! We don't need a RB, we have Mason and Stacy and Cunningham! ACL!

[HOW IT COULD HAVE BEEN]
You traded up? For [INSERT BRANDON SCHERFF/ERECK FLOWERS HERE]? Are you nuts? Jesus, it's a weak top of the draft for O-line, why you drafting for need and leaving the BPA on the board? Why the hell would you trade up for a [GUARD/RIGHT TACKLE]?

[ALTERNATIVE 2]
Why the hell did you take a defensive player, Fisher? Jesus, Snisher, abandoning the offense AGAIN. My God, we're doomed! Hope we can win a bunch of 9-6 games!

[ALTERNATIVE 3]
Peat is soft. Dammit, drafting for need instead of the best player. [INSERT ANY OTHER AVAILABLE PLAYER HERE] was a better player, but nooooo, we had to reach for a soft West Coast tackle! Guess that means GRob is overrated and a bum!

[ALTERNATIVE 4]
You mortgaged the farm for [AMARI COOPER/KEVIN WHITE]? We are pretty set at WR, who's going to block? Foles can't throw to a guy if he's dead in the backfield. Didn't you learn anything from trading up for Austin, Snisher?

[THE ONLY THING THAT WOULD MAKE US ALL HAPPY]
Wow, I can't believe the top 9 teams all forfeited their picks and Snisher magically invented a machine that merged Scherff, Beasley, White, Cooper and Winston into a one-man NFL team who can do everything at the same time perfectly. I'll give this draft pick a B+. I bet they blow it in the 2nd, though.

 

[Stel]

By jove, I think you've nailed it.

 

[Big Game]

Wow all these complaints are so on the money hahaha. I'm happy that the Rams took the BPA and can now get Olinemen in the second and third round.

I swear by the reactions of some you would have thought the draft was over last night lol

 

[DCH]

(I'm hilarious)

 

[TxRamsFan]

Absolutely! To the "T" brotha! Somebody is always gonna have a complaint about every pick we get.

 

[Angry Ram]

Awesome, bro. Awesome.

 

[PhillyRam]

You have to remember, some people are only happy when they are miserable or if they can make others miserable....my mother-in-law lives up to that distinction everyday and it appears many Ram posters do as well.

 

[Elmgrovegnome]

Wait. Didn't you miss:

The Rams trade back and get Cam Erving at 19. "Okay I can live with that, Erving and an extra second rounder sounds good." or,

"Parker? Sure I am good with Parker"

(Actually I wanted Scherf or Flowers so the trade down probably doesn't help)

 

[Rmfnlt]

Well done and comical...

But, to be honest, I haven't seen a lot of griping about Gurley here.

Or, at least, it's been very civil and logical.

Seems like the main "complaint" is that they didn't use that pick for a lineman... but most (myself included) are willing to see how that gets addressed before the start of the season.

LMAO this is class! Belongs in the Thread HOF!

My vote for post of the year. It's hard to hide intelligence. Good to see you didn't try...

The thing is I had steeled myself for any of the other options. I was not ready for this one and it just doesn't make sense to me. Gurley had better be a transcendent, Eric Dickerson level, player.

Sorry I missed you last night. And ED is the closest Ram comparison to Gurley.

[DCH]

I'm glad and a little overwhelmed at how much y'all enjoyed this

Nice post, DCH. I got a chuckle out of it.
