I would do that in a heartbeat. I find him an interesting “guy nobody is talking about” option.

But, yeah… is he available?
Someone posted an article on here stating that he could available.

Makes sense. After draft day, he'll be the 3rd string QB behind the #1 overall pick and Andy Dalton.

The Rams changed their offense a bit for Stafford. But, I've always believed that the same offense the Rams ran with Goff with a QB that could do something with his legs would still be putting up a lot of points. (Especially, if they incorporated some use of a FB from time to time, but I digress).

@Merlin What do you think about this draft? The more I go about reading articles and interviews I'm starting to lean if Gibbs is there at out pick we might snag him bro!

Rebuild then line and replenish the WR room.

This team needs at least one more functional back who could play all three downs.

Just curious but do you think a draft where we increase our arsenal by 5 picks is realistic? Especially without trading down from 36.

I'd love Gibbs but I don't think he makes it anywhere near #36. And if the Rams feel the same way but don't want to trade up to get him, they may have their eyes on somebody else. I'm thinking Charbonnet. Good runner. Good receiver. Played in their own backyard. My other choice would be Kendre Miller. I want one of the top RBs on this team in 2023.

Ummmm yes? Why the hell wouldn't it be? We need an influx of talent and bodies, outside of URFA's this is where they are coming from.

Three picks for Van Jefferson? Trading Tutu for a 7th? That's a good GM trading those 2 for a 5th and 3 7th rounders is both realistic and good? And do those 2 WR's taken make us a better offense than Van and Tutu? I can't see it but that's fine there's a lot all of us don't see or like. For me that draft above is a terrible draft. No corner at all and no Edge until middle of the 5th round yet 5 offensive linemen? That would be a draft I would not be a fan of but again that's just me.

Let me introduce you to the Trade Value chart. It might be a new concept for you but let me explain. For every draft pick in the NFL draft there is a value associated with that pick. Believe it or not NFL GM's and FO staff use this chart!:explode1:

Here you go!

So in your head you think (3 picks) but it's a 5th round selection with 2 7th's of 1 point value each. Is Carolinas pick worth 3000 people because it's worth 3000 points aka 3000 7th rounders at 1 point each? Your logic is literally mind blowing. That certain trade can't be worth 3 picks...

Tutu Atwell is simply a draft bust period (and that's not even debatable), we'd be lucky to get a top of a round pick for him anyways in which a team like the Eagles might take a flyer on him. Best to move his ass out and move on.

So you think it's okay to take a top Back and not fix our shitty ass line? :laugh4: Seriously? Even if we don't' take a back we going to put in some work this draft as they've talked about in interviews.

Also, those Edge players are pretty special and top rated rushers, maybe not at the top of the draft per experts rankings but they don't have some value on run and pass rushing defense.

I have a feeling from listening to McVay's and Sneads interviews our draft is going to go very similar to something like this.

Finally as a staunch Goff and Morris supporter I very much question "anything you would like" as it seems quite often than not you are very wrong about a lot and then smug about the results afterward.

I've read and heard that the Jimmy Johnson trade value chart is outdated, and teams lean towards another one lately.

I think that's a lot of guys I like coming into the roster. Gibbs & Rice are two real nice offensive additions right at the top.

Freeland: check his Senior Bowl struggles. He really looked bad, to the point I'd steer clear of him until later (Rams prioritize pass pro which was his issue). But I'll say that it would be nice to have all those OL options coming in, it would mean a ton of turnover in the depth which would be welcome.

Love Fehoko round 5 and Tune round 6.

No TE though WTF!!! :laugh3:

Excellent job at snark my goodness I'm very proud of you. I'm not going to address any of this because you decided to just be a complete ass. You also have just proven that you don't actually read anything I say about Morris or Goff so prove that your opinion is worthless to me because you have absolutely no clue what the actual hell you're talking about.

It is but he couldn't resist the opportunity to be both an idiot and an ass. We all know the chart we also aside from him know how it's changed or been largely ignored in recent years.

There is literally no world in which the Rams are trading Atwell for a 7th rounder in a bad WR draft. Is Atwell a bust? Only if you factor in the draft position he was drafted in (and the unnamed center he was drafted ahead of). If he had even just been a 3rd rounder, nobody would really think that. The coaching staff, for some strange reason, doesn't play him when he has displayed good route running, speed, and solid hands when he has been given a shot. He didn't start getting double digit snaps until week 12 of last year, and even then, he wasn't getting a ton (and receiving passes from a avg QB). He's still considerably more valuable then a random 7th rounder in this draft, and I personally don't think its close.

Now, if they don't play him much and he doesn't do much this season, yes, he is a bust. But he has displayed above average deep threat abilities when given a chance. That is worth something to me.

Honestly I want a TE but every time I was going to take one the one I was targeting kept getting drafted :angry4:

A lot more people using that simulator and the adjustments only get posted every 24h so if there is a trend by a lot of people taking a particular player you don’t see that for a day or so. .

Didn’t see the Senior bowl reps on Freeland tbh, i love watching those clips though!

It’s funny, because before the FA this year there was no chance we were letting go or trading Ramsey and look where we are today. We’d be lucky to get a 7th rounder for him if they didn’t decide to cut him.

It was a poor pick to begin with and the teams FO seems very obliged to moved on from past mistakes fairly quickly now.


18 rec 298yds and 1 td? Oft injured, tiny, and can’t even fill in for return duties when healthy? Nah… something’s wrong.
