Mr demoff why is there no draft event this weekend. Like the years in the past.

Kevin Demoff@kdemoff
When your GM is @LesSneadHair and you are picking 26th, not wise to host a draft event expecting to draft a player!

The Rams were making calls to move up and teams believed L.A. was seeking to draft Arizona WR Tetairoa McMillan, per source.

Welcome to the Rams, Arch Manning.

PS. Try to avoid catastrophic injury in your final year at Texas…

Interesting trade. I dunno what to make of it. I mean ‘potentially’ its awesome. The Falcons are one of those teams that could finish first or last. Who knows what they have in Pennix.

Not sure what to make of that trade, either. Just hoping they do well in the 2nd and 3rd now. They need a corner and tackle, primarily. inside backer and TE too.

I happened to be late to get in my car for my short commute to work, and that was propitious because it allowed me to hear the SFO station go Full Meltdown for about a minute or so about the Rams’ trade. They hate it.

I will say this: the Rams next year will have the 32nd pick in the draft which is not high enough to draft Matthew Stafford’s replacement. I think we all agree that it is desirable to have a really good QB. Case Keenum and Nick Foles had some moments, but Matthew Stafford is preferable. So to draft a replacement for Stafford, or trade for one, that was going to cost the Rams a lot of capital.

IMO, they just acquired that capital, and it didn’t cost them much. They dropped from 26 to 46 in a draft where everybody in that range is rate more-or-less the same. So it’s a small sacrifice. Now the Rams are armed with 2 first rounders in 2026 which will be an attractive package to a team that doesn’t need to draft a QB. The Bears or the Commodores or whoever.
