Annual 2024 pre-Combine mock, SB run!

[Corbin]

I never questioned the number of trades that Snead can make during a draft. I questioned him taking his highest draft selection and moving down 3 times and getting fair trade value. And whether or not he'd want to do so in an "all in" year.

‘All In’ means going ‘All In’ getting the correct talent to plug those holes as we seen happen last year. What they are doing isn’t rocket science and they’ve been on this path for a while now.

This is different as it could potentially be Aaron Donald's and maybe even Matthew Stafford's last year. While not guaranteed with rookies, don't you think that they'll take their best shot at nabbing an immediate impact player which are easier to obtain before the draft gets 49 picks in? Even in this mock, you have them selecting a project LT whom I assume will initially backup Jackson, I guess?

Besides, it seems to me that the team traded back to acquire picks (opportunities) partially because they didn't have a 1st rounder or so many selections in the top 100 or so.

No. Did they draft for back ups last? They drafted impact players which is exactly what this draft was to mimic.

After this last year you know as well as I do the right rookies can contribute day one being a significant role player.

The problem with the same old mindset on this board is the lazy ‘fan’ way of thinking and not having enough time, football knowledge, and/or info to come to a educated idea which way the leaders of this franchise is going to take us.

Then being criticized for not thinking the same lazy block headed way. Go back and look at the offseason mock we traded Jared, guess who was the only person mocking trading our QB, to the same block headed blind thinking.

Look kid (assumption made by the childish, immature response), I recall a few mock drafts trading Jared. A couple, including my own, that suggested such even prior to Snead’s “He’s a Ram at the moment” comment. And there probably would have been even more if the trade wasn’t announced so early that offseason.

I’m not and never said that it’s impossible for rookies to contribute. But I will say that each draft class is different, and a team's one strong draft class does not change the likelihood that most rookies don’t make immediate impacts. And that the success rate for these immediate impact players is far greater for the higher selected players. Obviously, you believe the same given your efforts to move up to acquire so many third-round selections.

My educated idea is that leaders of this franchise is going to do what they believe is best for the organization. If that's trading #19 for a veteran, keeping the pick, or trading down. Unlike yourself, it appears, I don't believe there's a set plan this early as circumstances can change daily. ie. an opposing team willing to move a player. The team being unable to retain a player. Contract issues. Off the field issues. etc...

We are just spit balling here regarding the crapshoot called the NFL Draft. Mocks, while fun, are an even bigger crapshoot than the actual draft itself. And the addition of trades increase that crapshoot even further as the fan of the team making the moves always gets what he or she wants no matter how unrealistic given it takes two to tango. Example, the KC trade suggested. They've got many key players (almost 30 total) hitting free agency, only about $15 million in cap space, and only 6 draft choices to date. Could they trade up? Sure. Picks can be made up by trading down later. Is it likely. I'd bet against it. You wouldn't I suppose and that's fine.

That doesn't make me or you any less intelligent. Just two people having a difference of opinion.

Look Inbred ( assumption with the lack of reading comprehension and having an extra chromosome) if you want to stoop to insults lets go or send me a PM. Your bad case of hemorrhoids has got your whitey tighties in a bunch.

You want to talk about differences of opinion let's do it, you give insult you aren't going to win this war.

Lack of reading comprehension???

Oh really?? I point out how difficult it would be to move from #19 to #49 via 3 fair trades and you question if I know how many trades Snead had made??? Besides, the point.

I re-emphasized the opinion and question if Snead would want to even move down that far given the so-called “All In” year, and you double down with a listing of the number of trades the Rams have made via the past 3 drafts??? This again had nothing to do with the point being made as none of those trades involved a sequential trade down from their top draft selection in either year. They stood pat and used the highest draft choice they had at the time each year (Avila, Bruss, Atwell).

I explain yet again. And you shift your focus and somehow define “all in” as getting the correct talent to plug holes and state that they have been on the same path for a while now. I assume everyone else knows that being “all in” involved the “F these picks” and that the team wasn’t “all in” last year due to a salary cap correction plan. Snead even emphasized patience last year.

I point out this difference and provided what I assumed to be basic knowledge that higher draft selections typically fare better when it comes to making an immediate impact. And I again questioned the Rams dropping 30 slots prior to making their first selection (which I believe to be potentially passing on some blue-chip talents for the chance at more red-chip talents, btw).

You disagreed and pointed out the success of last year’s draft class as if it guaranteed the success of this year’s draft class??

You then shifted to insulting the mindset of posters on the board and believed that you were being criticized due to a difference of opinion??? You posted as if you knew better than others here as to the way the leaders of the franchise were going to take US even though we aren’t in the organization (At least, I truly hope WE aren’t).

I gave you the benefit of the doubt of just being a kid, but I now see that there is a far more dire issue here which is a shame. Seek help.

BLOCK.

Yes lack of reading comprehension.

Please do block, I have no time for old codger who has no idea how to deal with their menopause.

Haha thanks bud

Thinking something like this is realistic. Let's see what we do during FA!

 

[WestCoastRam]

I wouldn't release Bobby Brown. Can never have enough quality linemen. He looks like he can play to me, and he is rookie deal.

The defense had a noticeable uptick when he came back from injury last year.
