Woods on the trading block?

[El Chapo Jr]

To me Woods is the straw that makes the offense go. His value is deeper than just stats. Can’t trade him period, unless it’s crazy like 2 or 3 first round picks

C'mon man, you now damn well we aren't getting like 2 or 3 1st round picks. We'd be lucky to get one 1st round pick for him and I really like him as a player too. All of this stuff depends on the Rams vision for the roster. I'd prefer they keep him but at this point, it's definitely wait and see.

It's funny. I sort of took him for granted when thinking of our team and our offense in particular. But when I saw this thread begin, it struck me to my core, thinking *oh no. He is the most stable, consistent WR we have had since Ike and Torry. Kupp is important, but the guy has had some inopportune injuries and still, Bobby Trees was there running routes.

We will regret letting him go/trading him if that happens this year.

If we are to part with one of them (Kupp/Woods), i'd move Kupp. Goff is in desperate need of quality WR's, why not try to manage an exchange where Goff gets his buddy back and the Rams get Detroit Center Frank Ragnow. jmo.

They replaced Gurley who was far more important to the offense than Woody. It derailed the offense for most of the season too, along with some other shortcomings we had going on.

I do agree that Woody is important. But I stop short of considering any player to be irreplaceable. Everyone can be replaced. If it's Woody who gets moved to save cap then I would expect Jefferson steps into his role seamlessly and they add another young weapon probably a slot type since you can get that speed there well into round 3 or 4 if the boards I've been looking at are any indicator.

Hell even if they keep Woody and Kupp I'm still hoping for a nice slot weapon addition to sit behind these guys and develop.

Woods is one of my faves -- great player.

I remember the days when we hungered for the next Danny Amendola. What if we start getting a string of Brandon Gibsons? Trade for the next Drew Bennett? I still have PTSD over failed WR's to just say, "ah, we'll just get another one if we let Bobby or Cooper go.."
You can't just let a guy like Robert Woods go...

I don't consider trading them to be letting them go. If you gotta move one of them do it.

You are in the sense that he was in no danger of leaving due to his contract and then you have a hole for the next Drew Bennet to fill...SONOFA

Do you really think this staff is going to turn into one of these staffs from yesteryear? Cmon man.

Granted nobody bats a thousand. But this staff has a real nice track record for a reason, that being they are good at their jobs.

The same Les Snead drafted Brian Quick in the 2nd round in 2012. We lost Brad Holmes who was reportedly very good at his job. I guess we are going to see if the good picks in the last few years was due to Snead or someone else who's now gone.

Pretty sure Quick, and that 2012 draft in general, was all Fisher. But your point is a good one, how much of the draft success was Holmes?

Maybe Brad Holmes was pounding the table for Quick.

I too, if had to choose would move Kupp and keep Woods

He better not be.
I’ll cut a bitch.

Brian Quick was a classic Jeff Fisher draft pick--- raw athleticism-low football IQ

I'm torn.

Woods to me is the gadget, faster, more durable WR and good with YAC.

Kupp is the safety blanket, will get a 1st on every 3rd down it seems, more physical YAC (NOT that Woods isn't), and less durable.

I don't want to trade EITHER, but at the end of the day, they're both SIMILAR WRs and we can't be paying them both similar for that.

I'd rather trade Kupp than Woods, but if Woods got the better haul, I'm for it.

Jefferson is going to be a stud and I could see him filling in better for Woods then Kupp.

I could also them see them getting one of Sfaffords boys.

 

[Rams43]

Not sure I’m buying the ‘too similar’ argument against keeping both Woods and Kupp.

Let’s see...

Both get quick separation.
Both run great routes.
Both have great hands.
Both are very football smart players.
Both have raised RAC to an art form.

WTH more does a QB want?

Get this vertical WR in the draft and Stafford is in 7th heaven.

Now, having said all that, if some team blows Snead away with a trade offer of some kind? Well, he’s gotta at least consider it, right?

No way can you compare it to the Saffold debacle, ... first, SJD & Gaines are young vets with previous playing time, after Saffold left the rookie Noteboom experiment began at LG, when that failed then Corbett fell into place, and he also had never taken an NFL snap at LG.
If anything, Like Fox & Floyd, I'll attribute most of SJD and Gaines' progress due to Donald, i'm not sure how much playing time either of those guys received while Brockers was also in the line-up.

Look, if Brock stays and we can afford it, that's fine by me, but if he prevents us from re-signing guys like Floyd & Williams as well as us getting a quality Free Agent Center & WR, then i'll hand him his pink slip myself. jmo.

WTF ? Saffold stayed until his contract ended. He became to expensive.Brockers has been around for 3 contracts. Your right about depth as well. Brockers at the end of his last contract was to expensive. The Rams did him a favor because of his leadership over the years.
