I just thought I would look at some stuff from last year, in case the Rams don’t go with plan A, B, or C of the fans popular ideas to trade up for a QB.

Randy Karraker said about a month after the draft, that the Rams would have take Cook at #10, over T Gurley.

interesting. question is how do they rank cook with the other qbs in this draft. do they rate lynch over cook?

the rams will miss his leadership though. organization of the defense.

unless ogletree can assume those responsibilities the rams are in trouble.

i’d actually be pleasantly surprised if the rams traded up and picked jack.

I may be in the minority among Rams fans but I would rather they not take a QB in this draft. I’d rather use those picks to fill the holes of guys they’ve lost in free agency. And on offense–improve the line and receivers.

I’m fine with Case starting and Mannion developing as his back up for now. Maybe Foles has a miracle resurrection. Chasing an elite QB comes at a cost. I’m not sure it’s worth it at this point and time. As for the later rounds–I’d rather they bring in depth at other positions.

I may rethink that if that’s what happens and all the QBs melt down. But I’m sticking with it for now.

i certainly am not opposed to drafting doctson in the first round and then adding a hunter henry in the second to give keenum some more support. and even if keenum isn’t the answer maybe mannion steps up. then spend the rest of the draft finding a free safety and lbs and d linemen.

if jared cook goes on and has a 1000 yard season with green bay i’ll vomit.

Apparently teams value measurables over performance. When they see Cook they see his size and speed and the length of his arms but fail to see the drops. Often those drops have cost the Rams games. Cook has snatched defeat from the jaws of victory more than once with his inconsistency.

Or maybe they think they can ‘fix’ him. Even though this is a pattern established over 7 seasons so I doubt it’s fixable.

i’m mostly joking but thompson and mccarthy seem to be pretty competent. probably won’t happen but it’d hurt if they could get out of cook what the rams could not.

nice big hands. i read earlier that his hands measured at 11 inches. but nfl.com lists them as 10 1/4″.

i’m starting to warm up to the idea of the rams drafting him in the first round. a big strong armed qb who can run a little.

i’d even be happy if they drafted doctson. there should be plenty of options there.

i still maintain that i don’t think griffin has any inherent character flaws. i think a lot of it is just a maturation process.

browns may have found themselves a steal.

the one that really hurts is mcleod. i don’t know how they replace him unless joyner is ready.

i think matt waldman put it well. he said something about not just beating the first man but using his vision to think several moves ahead to beat the defenders at the next level. faulk has talked about that as well.

unreal vision. hopefully he can stay healthy.

so you can cross quarterback off the browns potential first round draft pick. that would leave dallas and san francisco as the only teams above the rams who need a qb. possibly only san francisco. although maybe now dallas is in contention to pick wentz. and then goff to san francisco?

no trade up is my feeling. if anything they should trade down. i’d rather they trade down any maybe draft doctson as their new starting wr. grab a qb further down in the draft and let him duke it out with keenum, foles, and mannion for starting qb.

my feeling is that this will be an unpredictable draft. would that be accurate?

i don’t think they’re good value at #15. that’s the problem for me. if they don’t go dt, they should trade down and pick a wr.

yeah. dt, wr, qb. they should be able to find one of each with the first three picks.

i’d also look at tight end although this year’s class isn’t the strongest at that position.

i like the sensabaugh signing. if this does mean we see joyner at free safety i like it. he’s a playmaker.

again. i thought they should have tried to sign green but otherwise they almost look set for the draft.

i wonder if demoff or kroenke ever feel guilt. or remorse.
