Allar would not be a good pick in any round, he played like an UDFA.
Which QB should the Rams draft in the 1st Round next year?

Did he have Sean McVay at Penn State???
6'5" 245. That cant be taught.
Later round flyer.
As Inkeep seeing this thread get bigger & bigger,I’ll continue to believe the same thing.
The Rams are in a luxury situation for the most part.Meaning they have a lot of there players signed upfront.Still need to find a nice OT early in 2026 imo.Also figuring out the CB spot.
That said having Stetson going into his 4th season is a bonus because of him knowing the system.Plus I’ll add Jimmy G is a nice player to have on the roster as well.
Stafford is playing at an elite level & it’s hard to think of him retiring next season.Rolling with this same group in 2026 doesn’t seem far fetched.

Still don't think it'll happen. Of course he talked about retirement, he's been asked about it plenty because he's 37. However, we just saw Brady play much longer than that. Stafford is literally playing at an MVP level so I don't see him walking away. He loves ball that much. If he stays, we are not using that very first pick on a QB. We have needs elsewhere so I can see an elite offensive weapon, an OT, or top notch CB being the first pick we use if they are rated higher thab a QB that will sit. However, I literally said I can see the 2nd 1st or 2nd round pick being used on a QB. Tell me how that is being short sighted? Lol
You take a potential franchise QB when they're available to you. Brady is a poor example. He's the exception, not the rule. Stafford is reaching the window where his game could fall off at any time. And I'm not sure Stafford wants to wait until he's a shell of his former self. We will always have needs elsewhere. But our biggest need will remain a QB of the future unless Stetson Bennett shocks the world.
That also has very little to do with success at QB in the NFL.

How is Brady a bad example? I'm comparing one Hall of Famer to another. Fact is Stafford is literally having his best season of his career at 37 when supposedly his back was falling apart. Sorry, I'm not gonna doubt that man if he wants to keep playing but you are? If Staffing retires, then I obviously understand the urgency at QB. However, reaching for a QB to sit behind Stafford while bypassing better talent isn't the smart thing to do. Taking a stud OT or even a WR like Tyson would be a great way to ensure Stafford has an even better chance for an encore if he sticks around. There will be QBs available later in the 1st or even in the 2nd. I know we agree on this one though.....Stetson ain't that QB of the future. I'd be extremely shocked if that happened, but it would be awesome if he turned out to be awesome.
I’d still like our next qb to sit behind Stafford for a year or two.
The longer Stafford can play the longer we can wait for our next QB.
However, if there is a situation where McSnead love a guy this year, maybe they should go him.
I think most of us would agree that the ‘27 draft is the latest we should wait.
Sorry my Ram brother, you just need to watch him play. Whether it was Sean McVay or Jesus Christ, it would not have mattered or will matter at the next level.

No problem with that at all honesty. I just don't think it'll happen with that very first pick. Could it change? Sure, if the Falcons keep shitting the bed lol. The Rams can still draft one with the 2nd first or even trade up if they see one they like falling. Its going to be interesting to see what route is taken come draft time. What would be funny (not saying it'll be good) is if we do another Falcons type trade in the draft for a 1st in 2027 so we are immediately on Manning watch.
In a perfect world they get a raw dynamic kid on day 2, who can sit for two years or more, and if needed due to a sudden injury, can at least come in and play a little like Dart. Athletic playmaker, who will obviously make mistakes, but has enough skills that McVay can make him a threat.

That's my thought process on that. Feel like they'll go after a kid with tools they can coach up. Get immediate talent with that first pick, future QB project with the next 1st or maybe 2nd pick. Only bad part with our 2nd is its closer to being a 3rd rounder thanks to our team being awesome.
Allar's read 'n recognition has been terrible. Personally I am not a fan of their gameplanning and I think it is possible that Allar has been set up to some extent to fail. And I am not exempting him from terrible play. No way I'd take him round 3 for example.
But it does mean I am fine with a late round flyer on him if McVay and staff like him in their whiteboard meetings. Because in that meeting they'll go over the how's and why's of the design and his decision making so if they think he's an underrated value that's fine.
I don't expect them to do that though. I think it's more likely they take another QB who has disappointed this year, like Klubnik for example. And that's only if they can't get a Mateer or Leavitt earlier.
Btw Atlanta lost this am in Germany and are 3-7. They had a lot of fight in that game, but a young QB means it is possible they spiral if they lose to the Panthers next weekend, and if they drop one or two of this upcoming stretch against Carolina / New Orleans / NYJ they then hit their nasty ass closing stretch of Seattle / Tampon / Arizona / LA.
In other words while it's not likely it remains possible the Rams draft high enough to get a QB in that top group, or failing that one of these big ass X wideouts.

I feel like those top QBs will go within the top 5. I'm not confident the Rams will pick that high but wouldn't be mad if I'm wrong. If I had a pick of what QB, I'd want Mendoza but he's going number 1 so that's a pipe dream.
IMO the higher that falcon pick moves up, the better chance it’s used (by itself or trade up) to get their top QB choice. Likely thinking this is best chance to get a top 1-2 rated QB in the draft.
Not what I’d do though.
If the pick falls closer to 15, I think moving up for a QB is much less likely.

Sure the Rams could draft a QB with the second first. But, if the opportunity to get THEIR GUY with that top pick became available, they'd be crazy to pass on it. Why? Those opportunities don't always come when you want them and it's the most important position on the team.
Besides, chances are far higher of finding talent at other positions later in the draft than it is to find a QB.
For the sake of continuity, you grab that guy when you can while you can.

Maybe.... depends on what those top teams want or if they are even willing to trade. I don't see any of them doing so because the Saints, Jets, Dolphins, and Raiders will all possibly pick ahead of us and those teams need new QBs badly.

That's if they deem that QB worthy of that high of a pick. I wouldn't be shocked to see all those top guys go way before our very 1st pick and lowering the QB value as a result. At that point, we are reaching. I'd rather trade back if that Falcons pick is super high if that is their plan to draft a QB first period. With that saud, if a stud WR or OT falls to us, I'm not confident McVay and Snead pass that up either. That Falcons pick is going to definitely have an impact on the route taken.
