No matter how you slice it, the Rams are doing something right that nearly every other franchise struggles with (including the Rams pre-McVay), they are able to rebuild the roster quickly while remaining a top tier team. 2023 marked the beginning of the THIRD roster overhaul since McVay got here.I agree the Ramsey haul wasn't great. And I agree there is some validity to just focusing on return rather than what a player does with their new team.
Staying with your analysis, how do you factor in the intangibles the Rams clearly prioritize? They wanted to do right by the player. Whit just said the Rams have a rep for taking care of players that earn it. Now, they've developed a rep for doing right by players who they're trading away. I believe Colin recently said that the Rams have developed a rep as possibly the top destination for players.
If accepting a pathetic haul is part of building the reputation of being a top players destination, is it worth it?
ONE losing season.
Players wanting to come play for the Rams has to factor in even though there are other reasons for the Rams recent successes.
The Rams are proving they are multi-dimensional when it comes to acquiring talent. They have traded, drafted, paid top players, and unearthed enough day 3/UDFAs to make other FOs look clueless.
