These are some of the gambles a Front office has to make when we have no first Round Picks. I do not begrudge the FO on swinging the bat...I also applaud them for releasing someone they knew would spark criticism over their miss...mark of responsible Team Management. Go Rams!

I will offer an opinion on the Woods trade thinking...but of course, just an opinion. I think Sean fell in love with the Goal Line 50/50 ball that we had with OBJ down the stretch. Sean could have been thinking that he wasn't sure if OBJ would be available at all this year, so he took a player that was known for 50/50 possession catches in Allen Robinson. I think he liked the idea of good Red Zone catches instead of the Swiss Knife ability of Robert Woods. Just a guess really, but that's the only way I could square it. I loved Bobby Woods...great teammate, great professional.
The one advantage of losing is it forces the team to cast off the shitters they are trying to hang on to hope with.
There's another way to look at this: you were wrong for questioning them last season as proven by the Super Bowl win. And you're wrong again this year as proven by the team losing.

Your attempted logic has failed since I do in fact question them this year but thank you for the effort.
Just so I'm clear, there's no questioning the decisions made last year simply because they won the Super Bowl?
Interesting
So that makes the Tutu pick perfectly understandable?
I for one thought T-Lew was worth the risk. The reported talent just never showed up. Could have been the injuries taking their toll and thus he didn't put out the effort.
Rams cleaning the house to see what's under the covers. Making a good Draft isn't easy or guaranteed. Snead and McVay have their work cut out for them. We know they will be working hard but results aren't guaranteed.

Agreed. The guy was a first-round talent but his health was questioned. In the end... it wasn't really about his health. As far as we know anyway.

I think reading here and other places about the Rams the risk was fine but what a lot of questions surround is there are too many injury risks. Some injury risk players are fine the Rams just seem to do a lot of it without hedging on some safer bets.

It's sad we really could have used a good ER. His future if he has any will be in a 43 @ DE. I hope this is a sign in the next 4 gms that DC morris is going to utilize his younger ER's to see what kind of a future they might have with the Rams in 2023.
I never had all that much hope with TL. Been a long long time since I posted anything positive about him. I will have to go back & search for when that happened. I really like what I see in very few snaps in Kier Thomas this season.
TL never put it together at Bama either when they were full of Blue Chip players & winning all the time. I believe TL lacks the heart & desire myself.

Looks like about 80-90% of all those players are still in the league. Doesn’t look like a lot of misses to me.
Some of those guys are gone because of the way the Rams pay the top end, not because the couldn’t play in the league.
We’ll I wonder about players I had visions for that have practiced at those positions of Failure.
1. Ernest Brown LE/LDT ? Playing more or less of the spot Floyd plays. I would also like to see Floyd play more LOLB as an Edge.
Of course Thomas,Thomas & Hoecht .
2. AJ Arcuri at some point if worthy?I actually think RT is his spot & Big Rob’s replay? Maybe real wishful thinking.Practice squad 22/ back-up23/ and starter 24 at worst would be my hope?
3. Mayfield as the backup QB - hoping he handles the starting job well right now.
4.Start to sort the DB’s,but could any be worth a Comp pick, Nick Scott,d.Long, & Rapp.
—This group is who helped The Rams win the Superbowl.Eric Weedle helped & even D.Henderson as well.

He made more plays for the Rams!! It's just perspective that when he makes a play for SF, he's an ex-Ram.I still don't get that....I liked him though I guess others didn't. And he seems to make plays for the Niners.
Ebukham was a nice draft pick,but he is no George Kittle. Those E.Washington guys haven’t done to bad for The RMs though.
I didn't say that. Just pointing out there's more ways to view it than the victim angle. He was wrong about the QB move. Many were. Doesn't make them victims makes them wrong.
All good.
I don’t think the talent pool is huge enough to supply the players need to staff the league. Seeing player move on to other teams and still find playing time is the norm. Different coaches find ways to utilize discarded players. Others like John Johnson seem like bad decisions but has he been that good since leaving? I rarely if ever hear anything about him.

Just centering in on their time as a Ram I only see 3 hits from this list of 21.
John Johnson
Cooper Kupp
Greg Gaines

No victim angle about it at all. Just a funny double standard. So before they'd won the Super Bowl they were unquestionable people. After they won it and had a losing season it's ok to question them. There's no rhyme or reason to this line of thought it's actually backwards. And I question their moves on a regular basis, as do a whole lotta people around here. I disagree with drafts as do the vast majority of people here. We all disagree with which free agents we sign and don't. You're included in all this as am I. We all disagree with things and are right and wrong and we all will like things they do and are right and wrong.
I would only count it as a complete miss if they are no longer in the league.
If they are still getting paid to play in the NFL, the miss might be the coaching staff or front office as much as the player.
I agree that it's all good; and, as I posted earlier, quality teams lose talented players in free agency.
That being said, should Greg Gaines leave via free agency this coming off-season, is there a player not named Cooper Kupp on that list of 21 drafted players that is a top-quality starter for the Rams?
