Great points, hope you're wrong about Lemon's impact on the Eagles. If Brown is traded hard to believe he won't have a moderate to full impact with their passing game.
LOL, of course they didnt. Thats inarguable. Thats also fully known and not cared about by the folks who like the Simpson pick.
What does the QB room have to do with the Simpson pick? If Garoppolo didnt retire we were STILL taking Simpson and were moving on from Stetson.
Depends on whether Lemon for example raised Rams' 2026 SuperBowl by some percent, call it n%.
Versus Simpson raising the Rams's odds in 27/28/29/30 by p% each versus the other possibilities (considering the draft costs).
If you're really all about 2026 to the detriment of all future years I have to disagree with you on that.

There's no doubt we sacrificed some '26 and maybe some '27 in exchange for 28-38. Dont see a problem with that. Rams came into that draft as the best team going into 2026 with the Kansas City defensive back field additions.
One thing that Dejean and Emmanwori have in common is that neither was a first round pick. We drafted more players this year than just Ty Simpson in the first round and we also used our other first round pick on an immediate impact DB. Studies show you can, in fact, have your cake and eat it too.
Loved the KC DB pickups.Got proven championship experienced players. Hopefully they stay healthy and Shula knows how to use them. We need to increase our aggressive blitz packages and man press numbers if we are to get the most out of these signings, in my book.
Both CB's upgrade our coverage, tackling and blitzing and disguises.
Hopefully these 13 personnel schemes work because we have invested a ton of draft capital there.
I think that may be overlooked by a lot of us. Me included.

No not backpedaling at all. My first take is what I believe (think the pick wasn't great and Simpson won't amount to much) but then again that doesn't matter because the Rams took who they took. I've just moved on because discussing that leads to nothing at all. Simpson is a Ram and I've said multiple times, hope he proves me wrong and will be rooting for the kid. Of course we have to trust McVay, we kinda have no choice but he isn't perfect either so this will be interesting to watch develop over some time. I'm choosing to focus my energy on rooting the Rams on.
Brian Thomas Jr. salary cap number is a little over $2 million this year and a bit under $3 million next year. I'm guessing his 5th year option will probably run between $20 - $25 million. The extension money comes after that and the Rams could even still give him a deal that's cap friendly initially, trade him (like Cooks), or just let him walk. Either way, they could take HUGE advantage of having a QB on a rookie deal on their salary cap.
Also, I never said players don't affect outcomes of games. But, one could list a play (or decision) or two by just about everyone on the field and claim that it affected the outcome. If this player didn't miss a block. If that player didn't drop a pass (or punt). If the QB didn't miss a throw or an open target. If that DB didn't slip or if this one got a better jam on press man coverage. If the punter made a better punt. If that EDGE would have ran through the OT instead or around him, etc. etc. etc... Some may be more noticeable that others, but the point remains.
And of course no one is infallible when it comes to the player selection process. BTW, regarding the Ferguson over Emmanwori take, how would Emmanwori be in consideration and where was he going to play with Curl, Lake, Kinchens coming off good seasons? He might have just been mostly a special teamer for the team until this year which brings me to my next point. A player's performance in one location doesn't guarantee the same results elsewhere. Emmanwori just happened to be a perfect fit at the perfect time for the Seahawks like Puka was for McVay and the Rams.

I would like to apologize for the tone of this post. Totally uncalled for.
Yeah - sure
I talk a lot of smack & go beyond where most Fans are willing to go with an open mind.
The NUMBER 1 thing Sean Mcvay always says is The NFL (Football) is The Greatest team sport.
The way The NFL RULES have changed since COVID will benefit The BEST COACHED FRANCHISES.
MCSNEAD will PROVE this.This 2023 DRAFT CLASS is a Superbowl Class imo.This is there SENIOR YEAR !!
Have ANYONE EVER thought about that ? This 2026 Class will extend pass that because of Ty Simpson.
I’d say he is like a RED-SHIRT QB.
Ty Simpson say vs. Richardson ?
If Mcvay is all in on bringing in a QB.What WE know is that talent a lone doesn’t Always workout.

Not sure how that is relevant. Jimmy G retired. He'll need to best out Bennett for QB2.
He has not retired, he’s just contemplating it. I think he’s waiting for a shot to start somewhere

Simpson, confirms that had Rams not taken Ty at 13 there were trade-ups very soon after to follow. Also, some talk he was going BEFORE 13.
