Marcus Peters to the Rams?

[Elmgrovegnome]

There goes watching the draft this year, oh well

Peters' ability is better than any corners in the draft. On ability alone he is a top five pick. Now it's up to McVay and Company to reign him in.

Ripping him away from the Whiners makes it feel a little more worth it too.

Lastly how much are the Rams giving up. Not having a round 2 pick makes me concerned our first rounder is gone.

Could also be a combination of 2018 & 2019 draft picks.

Yep. I like the trade, but I was looking forward to counting down to the Rams pick. I'll just have to remind myself who they already landed.

this is some good news to wake up to in the morning. it will at least be good news for one year. not sure how peters will react to playing in his contract year without a new deal.

When the Chiefs are picking we all just need to mute the tv and say out loud. "With the 23rd pick the Rams select Marcus Peter." And when the Bills pick say "The Rams select Sammy Watkins".... hopefully he's still on the team lol.

Some specula-fun!

1) Rams already have a preliminary board for the draft aside from medical checks and personal workouts.
2) They prob have a good idea of CB prospects and their talent... and also where they may fall.
3) Rams probably also have an idea of what will most likely happen with their FAs already.
4) 50/50 there's a (potential) compensation draft pick thrown in from next year because we're gonna lose Trujo. IE, our third rounder next year or a third round compensation pick next year if we have one.

What's really interesting is that the Rams don't have that much wrapped up in CB in terms of cost. So if they can go get a guy like Talib under a deal that isn't too costly but more importantly is frontloaded over the first couple years they still have a relatively affordable defensive backfield. Not to mention by the time Peters is up for FA they will be able to sign him and have that cost vs talent side of things handled pretty well.

I just hope he meshes well with our locker room. That's gonna be a key in all this.

Last year McVay brings in Whitworth to turn around our OL.

We knew that this year would be Wade's turn, and Peters will ...

This needs to be requoted so people see to help kill the discussions of whether he'll be a cap casualty.... Robert Quinn isn't going anywhere. If he stays at the level he did the last quarter of the season next year.... our defense is going to be scary. Add another CB... maybe Talib? Sign Joyner. Maybe upgrade other OLB'er spot.... holy shit this defense could be scary.

Well, this is the kind of thing I was hoping for . . . a secondary that can actually challenge our WR corps and dramatically improve each other. Can you imagine Sammy (assuming he stays) & Marcus trying to get the best of each other in training camp?

I just realized how likely it is that TruJo ends up with the Niners.

I'm fine with that. Let them pay him CB1 money I could care less. Rams will torch his overpaid @$$.

 

[FrantikRam]

Browns IMO. Williams, plus they have a ton of cap space too.

 

[FrantikRam]

So we should have all the cap we need to re-sign Joyner, Watkins, NRC extend AD and

 

[Jacobarch]

What a day to be a Rams fan!!!

Peters, Webster, Hill and possibly NRC? WOW

 

[WestCoastRam]

It would certainly make tagging Watkins for 16 mill easier to swallow if we do that.
