Nah, Simpson was the correct pick for the franchise going forward IMO. What I wanted them to do desperately was trade up when Boston fell to the 2nd. Would have probably cost our 2nd this year, but, does he look worth it? I'd say yes. Klare might be good, but what year will that be? Simpson was a pick for the future and the right pick, but who didn't think we needed something for this season at some point in this draft?

Simpson might be good but that will be in year 3 probably. I wanted a Superbowl this year so I would have traded down and gotten more picks for depth. And I definitely wanted one of the top ILB drafted. I think it was Gonzalez that I wanted. Plus a CB. And then an OL. However, with the injuries we have suffered it wouldn't have helped anyway. So there is that.

I will say I am not as high on Simpson as others on this board but he did look decent in the preseason. So hopefully he pans out to how a lot of others on this board are saying.

I'm sure you mean Jacob Rodriguez, who was also in the 2nd and could have potentially traded up for.

Simpson was the best QB in college in the 1st half of last season. Then he got injured and played through it. I think we got a real one.

I really wanted them to trade down and get Concepcion or Boston

Just for fun I put a chart with their stats so far this season. I like the bigger WRs. Concepcion is quick, but the NFL is going to big WR. Copper missed 4 games with an ankle sprain. Good size with 4.4 speed. Rams could have traded down and gotten Copper or Boston with additional picks. Those two would have helped spread the field. i understood the Simpson pick. In retrospect Puka and Adams were injury concerns considering play style and age. McVay was committed to the three TE sets.

We'll know better after McVay's presser soon whether Puka is viable this weekend. Regardless if plays or not, we need to focus on committing to the run game and establishing it. Stafford can then have more time for play action without getting happy feet.

If Puka is down, time to deploy the annual Tutu weapon (good for one or two games per year only).

Karma is a very simple thing and it has nothing to do with anything mystical or magical.
If you put out good vibes to people and treat them nicely, good vibes come back to you and people treat YOU nicely.
If you treat people badly, they will treat you badly in turn.
It's a simple and excellent concept that really works.

Sorry karma is the dumbest shit ever believed. There's bad people doing bad shit out there that never pay the price and good people that have rotten luck. What you are talking about is probabilities which is not karma at all.

Yeah that's who I meant. Was going completely off memory (which at my age - what memory).

Whether Ty Simpson turns out good or not is completely up in the air/up for debate.

What I am saying is CORRECT about the pick is picking the POSITION based on the age of the current Quarterback, combined with how Snead/McVay feel about the player (Simpson).

Sorry but how Ty Simpson eventually turns out will determine if he was indeed the right pick. Just because they felt good about him means jack shit. The Rams felt good about drafting Greg Robinson first and it turned out to be the wrong pick. Sorry, but that's just how it works in a results driven league. I understand why they made the pick, just don't know if its the correct one yet because we don't know the end result.

Completely missing the point and making my point at the same time. On the day of the 2014 Draft Greg Robinson was the correct pick. In time turns out it wasnt. On the day of the 2026 Draft Ty Simpson was the correct pick. How it turns out will be determined.

You missed my point bro.
I never mentioned anything that you are referring to.
Karma is a self-made thing that has nothing to do with mysticism or magic or anything you're referring to.
You make your own environment that surrounds you by being good to people or you make the environment around you bad by being bad to people.
There's always going to be bad things that happened to you that aren't sure fault and there's also going to be some good things that happen to you that you don't deserve.
That's actually the Buddhist meaning of karma.
Just that you can weigh the MAJORITY of good things that happened towards you.
Ask any road rager for instance.
Blood pressure, car damage, cardiovascular stress. Revenge. Revenge on the revenger. It's all very avoidable and up to you as an individual. That's the actual meaning of karma despite what it's morphed into.

I’m a Cooper Homer, so I’m gonna weigh in a bit more. He played one whole game and one series of game one before getting hurt. I think he’s gonna be WR one for the Jets by the end of the season.

That's a stretch. There were question marks about his pass protection. He had the measurements, but was in a run based offense in college and only two years as a starter. Rams got AD at #13. there was lot's of debate about taking Jake Matthews as a safer pick.
