Sammy Watkins to the Rams

[Legatron4]

Oh yeah duh! That was silly of me. I was just focusing on our WR player numbers and totally didn't think of Mannion.

What number do you guys think he goes with?

I wanted 84 but Hemmingway has it. I say 15 is fine.

Honestly jokes about Goff failing or us going in another direction and so on are just old at this point.

So ignore them. I wasn't making a joke about Goff. You assumed too much, or just trying to justify your response. I don't think you can read my mind. Can you?

If you can't make jokes that mean no harm, then what?

He wore #2 in college so maybe 12? Unless Mannion gives it up

no, the real deal.

No, I meant my blue font. I guess I better find another way to make a joke.

This came way out of left field holy shit. I can't be any more excited. SAMMY!!!!.

Goff is gonna shut a lot of people up this year.

I would like nothing more than to eat crow on him.

Wow. I love Gaines as a player and as a person, but Watkins could be a legit number one receiver. The second round pick stings a little, but at least we aren't giving up a first.

I do want us to re-sign Watkins because this could be a real crappy deal otherwise. All in all, though, I love this trade.

My thoughts at this time are that Troy Hill really has stepped up the last few practices. He was going to be pushing EJ Gaines anyway. He can be signed reasonably .

Sammy Watkins is a good fit. He played with both Woods & Robey, as well as being coached with Kromer.

Mike Thomas being down really hurt the depth chart. The rookie Josh Reynolds & Tavon being hurt makes the position up grade a priority.

Where is KOWALSKI? He'll find a way to make us depressed about this trade.

 

[RamFan503]

To those who say he's injury prone. Wouldn't you be if you had to play in Buffalo?

What the bills fans are saying

Yeah. Bills fans not happy.

This sure makes Grob not working out a lot better. He was one of the guys I wanted other than Grob. If only it could have been Mack.

This was among my first thoughts too.

I was a HUGE Watkins guy that draft. The world seems right now.

 

[Ramhusker]

Is Watkins going to stay as #14? Trying to remember if that number is not taken.

The 2 looks good on him!

I put him on ignore. Haven't thought about him until now. Don't think I'm missing anything worthwhile.

12 is Shakir Ryan

Wow, just love this trade, a 2nd rd pick------probably not higher than the 40th pick and a bench player for the 4th player picked in his draft. Watkins is just the type of WR the team needed: big, fast, good hands, runs good routes, and meets the definition of a "playmaker", and as McVay has said over and over, "you can't have too many playmakers". SW has played in 37 of 48 games and in those 37 games has over 2400yds in a Buffalo offense, he had over 1000 receiving yards in his 2nd yr in the league. At the nfl combine, IIRC, he ran 4.34 on his 1st attempt and 4.37 on his second, he's an extremely fast football player. Players of his caliber, when you have the opportunity, you get him-----! Watkins, along with Gurley and Goff will make this a real offense-----we won't be dead last in scoring, yards, or any other offensive category this year. Was already looking forward to the season but even more so since Sammy Watkins is a Ram!!!

12 is Shakir Ryan

Unless Watkins wants #12....

Cant wear #2

He knows Sammy's personality. I think you'd have to ask Woods if Sammy is a good teammate.

They definitely consulted Woods, no doubt about it. Also I think seeing how good Woods might be outside of Buffalo's offense (and in one that fits him so well) made them realize Watkins' value might be higher than people think too.

I'm still in shock man. That's how good this trade was.

Have never used that function. Seems like a quick fix though.
Might give it a shot.
