Yeah, I agree. The Rams have done very well in rounds 2 and 3, and unless the pick is in the top 10 or 15, a first round player isn’t likely that different from a second round player.
I think the Giants tried to trade down, and got no takers in the range they felt safe. So they had to spend that pick to get the QB they wanted. That’s going to happen sometimes. I remember when the Rams drafted Robinson…people weren’t really convinced the guy was worth the #2 overall pick (and he wasn’t), but the Rams couldn’t move because the top of the draft was lacking the Sure Bet players, and it wasn’t worth the cost of moving up.
