Man Aiyuk is a head case I'm not on board with and he hasn't played meaningful ball in a long time. Rams fucked up not trying to add a WR when Adams went down. Teams know the Rams are desperate and will increase the price to do business because of it.
He hates the 49ers and the 49ers hates him. If McVay can collar him, I would be for throwing him a lifeline for the league minimum. For the very reason you stated, how many teams are going to call his cell?
What???? No!!! That just can't be. He's a 2026 draft pick!!!!
| Receiver | Immediate Role for Stafford | Financial / Trade Reality | The Core Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stefon Diggs | True Alpha Outside Threat | Most expensive contract & highest trade asset cost. | Dictates coverages, commands safety help deep, and opens up the entire playbook. |
| Brandon Aiyuk | Elite Z-Receiver & YAC Weapon | Absolute steal ($585k), but requires dealing with a division rival (SF). | Gives Stafford a pristine route-runner who transforms short passes into explosive plays. |
| Keenan Allen | The Hyper-Efficient Chain Mover | Moderate short-term contract. | Replaces the short-area efficiency role perfectly; dominant against zone. |
| Jauan Jennings | The Power Slot / Heavy Blocker | Cheaper trade value, but carries a high future extension ask ($16M–$20M). | Toughens up the intermediate middle of the field and elevates the heavy run scheme. |
Yeah its a risk I still don't like but honestly there's not many great choices out there. The Rams unfortunately should be kicking all the tires they can because this WR core ain't good at all.
Diggs is no longer that guy. He's a solid to good slot guy now. But he can get open in the short to intermediate ranges and has a lot of veteran savvy.
No chance after the Jaguars traded for two DTs today.
Yeah guess not. Fiske to Cleveland could always still happen.
From what we saw of Diggs, and especially Van Jefferson Sunday cant help but think guys like this can help us greatly. Its what Mumpfield and Whittington are supposed to be for us.
If Turner or Ford were healthy, I could see it. Without them I wonder if they would leave themselves thin at DL, especially with Garrett on a pitch count.
Yeah, they are probably thrilled with Verse so why not add another Rams DL.
Maybe thinking Verse has only been good in his career (Florida St., Rams) when he had his buddy down the line. Take a shot at gettin Verse a buddy, nobody else likes him there.
Agree I had it changed in a different post draft.
Myles Garrett
In this O, with all the motion and bunch sets, I'm not sure it matters that much. But I don't think it makes sense to grab both Diggs and Allen. If we're in the market for two WRs, I'd go Diggs or Allen and then look for a WR who offers a different skillset.
