That part is extremely true. Sauce was definitely a high price for sure. I personally would only want to ever trade multiple 1sts for a generational pass rusher or an extremely talented QB.
Might be the most flexible CB in the league

You think we'll see more CB blitzes though? I'm not sure if the Rams use their CBs like that. Maybe something they'll mix into the scheme next year?
I'm disappointed. We overpaid. #29 for McDuffie straight up felt iffy but fair enough to me. Throwing in all the additional picks does not sit well with me. But I guess the good news is we addressed a major need.

Dam good thing I didn't come over from that other thread I visit from time to time here. I might have taken that comment out of context
......sorry I tend to hang out in the gutter from time to time
It's hilarious. Seems like so many fans have the unrealistic expectation that we fleece the other team in every trade, doesn't matter the quality of player we get back.

Gotta take in all the comments. I think everyone is definitely excited about the secondary being addressed at the end of the day. I know I am.
I suspect Shula wants to attack more. And he and Aubrey probably weren't on the same page philosophically on at least some of that. Lake was undoubtedly more open to a shift.
Also I have to say that when you're a coach and tell McVay this group of corners has what you need for this season, and then the wheels fall off and they get fuckin BBQ'd, there is a loss of faith in your opinion. Naturally so. We can say the corners let Aubrey down. But we can also say Aubrey for whatever reason didn't jump on the table enough for more talent on the back end.
And I have that opinion because the Rams are good at going after what they think they need. They do what they have to do. So them going with that corner group last season was fucking strange. It's like they completely disregarded it. But maybe what happened is the defensive pass game coordinator talked the boys up and believed in them. Lesson learned for Aubrey if true and he'll bounce back from it.
They need one more corner. You can get that in this FA group, or you can get it with one of our first three picks. And after that, they need some depth pieces for camp competition, but those can be late round or UDFA or even cheap FA. So I expect we'll see one FA added at CB, question is do they go after a CB2 or depth.

I have zero expectations honestly cuz I control nothing lol.....I just wanna fleece someone though, is that such a bad wish?
Damn, I love this team! After so many years of watching them flounder, this version with Mr. Kronke, Snead, McVay heading it up makes being a Rams fan SO more enjoyable.

This explains it. I will admit that my honest knee jerk reaction for EVERY Rams trade for my entire life is that we overpaid. And when we're trading a player it's that we got less than what we should've.
Par for the course for fans...aka fanatics. We're not biased at all or anything like that.
Let's remember all of the belly-aching around here about paying too much when the Rams moved up to grab Braden Fiske, who has obliterated that argument since then.
Quite frankly I hope he takes quite a few snaps in the slot and Lake replaces Curl at safety.
I liked Lake there vs. some TEs and big slots, but not when teams moved an actual stud WR there.
Add a healthy Jermod McCoy at #13 and then that defense might be cooking with grease.
You'd be better served with less laying of judgment on others and more addressing the opinions portrayed in their posts.
Not a bad wish at all. We got the Falcons with that last year, so it evens out a little lol.I have zero expectations honestly cuz I control nothing lol.....I just wanna fleece someone though, is that such a bad wish?

But I don't want even though, I want to trade our kicker for Myles Garrett type shit
We also don't know if there was a other team making an offer for McDuffie
And other than a couple of irrelevant "oh, that's a coincidence" comparisons with Peters, there's NO comparison with McDuffie's willingness to play with physicality and to tackle, and Peter's soft, no sticking my head in there style of tackling.
