I like the draft
@jrry32. I also agree that Cutler would be the ideal bridge Qb for the Rams over the next two seasons. I would take Fitzpatrick for that matter too but prefer Cutler.
@moklerman I think that your overestimating the Cutler market. Now I could see a Daniel Snyder wanting him but both Washington and the Jets may be going through a coaching change and if that is the case both owners must see the failure is on the coach and thing maybe his players are not the issue. Buffalo should have interest as should Tennessee but I do believe that if there are unknowns and questions that give either team reservations then Shanahan gives the Rams the edge in that he could alleviate those reservations......or maybe he turns Fisher off.
@Memphis Ram this cap stuff is not really worth speculating about. A few years ago it seemed highly unlikely that the Rams would be in on top free agents like Courtland Finnegan, Jared Cook or Jake Long but they were. There is always a way to move money around and Demoff seems to be pretty good at managing the cap. If the Rams want Cutler and can acquire him then I am sure Demoff figures out how to do it, while still planning on how to keep key free agents in 2016.
One thing that I recall is Snead talking about needing a QB that will be on the field. A few years ago Fisher/Snead were using the same hints about Danny Amendola and were only willing to give him a limited amount of money which I am sure they knew would be eclipsed by another team. I am sure they are feeling the same way about Sam and I really don't know how any GM and Coach could possibly be relying on Bradford after all of his injury history being concluded by a second ACL tear. His future seems quite bleak to me. There are few options at QB right now. A rookie isn't likely to get it done. Maybe the Rams can land a Kyle Orton, Ryan Fitzpatrick, or Mat Moore but Cutler would be the top of that mix and should be the Rams main target at the position. Maybe they lose out to Buffalo or Tennessee but they should give it their best try to get him and keep him for the next 2 years, then fix the Oline and have their best chance in a long time to get to the playoffs.
