it’s a big gamble. it’s just too much to give up for me. but i also readily admit i have not seen these guys play. only base it on what i read.

i do have one friend who has seen a lot of goff and thinks he’ll be good but still thinks the rams got fleeced. i’m having trouble thinking of an example where this does benefit the team trading up. maybe eli manning?

edit. one case where it did work is the rams trading up to number one for orlando pace.

since the trade is done and i would have to choose one i would want wentz.

i know it’s not logical, but i just can’t get over goff’s 9″ hands. if his hands were a little bigger i’d take goff. silly i know.

wentz has the prototypical size and arm strength. he’s mobile. i wouldn’t worry about him taking a couple hits. just seems to have more potential.

of course i say all this without having watched either of them play.

for what it’s worth i have a friend who’s watched goff play. thinks he’s gonna be real good but not first pick worthy.

It was a Kroenke marketing trade, not a football trade.

yup.

just when i thought the rams couldn’t get any dumber.

i agree. if jack were to fall to #15, they would pick him.

of course. that’ll never happen. but yeah. if jack were to fall to #15, the rams would almost have to pick him. the guy is an absolute stud. and might be a top 5 talent.

arsenal fans in london are furious with stan. they are asking him to step down. doesn’t seem to be present or care what happens at that club.

there should also be some tight ends in the later rounds which i also think is a need.

doctson’s in game explosion is unreal. the guy just attacks the ball.

but apparently he’s raw in terms of route running and playing in a pro style offense.

if it came down to lynch or doctson… man that’d be a tough choice.

more than a cb i want the rams to draft a safety. the huddle report has justin simmons rated the 11th best prospect. others don’t have him rated nearly that high. there’s also jalen mills.

i’d be happy with lynch too. he reminds me of roethlisberger coming out. a big mobile qb with a big arm coming from a small school.

very raw but a crapload of potential.

ok. so this is from cosell.

When I look at the Utah game, it’s not a good piece of tape for Goff. He threw five interceptions, but it’s more than just the number of interceptions. It was more worrisome how his tendency to play fast and hurried showed in that game and led to the turnovers. He didn’t react well in this game.

Goff’s feet at times can be a little jumpy and frenetic. That’s not a good thing, and you wonder how that will play out against the better and faster pass rushers in the NFL.

now what makes me go huh is the waldman video is a piece from the utah game in which he praises him for his ability under pressure… even talks about how his “hurried feet” are actually goff making adjustments in order to get the throw off.

weird.

he’ll be more pro ready than lynch although lynch might have the higher upside, and it should help that he’ll have gurley in the backfield to take pressure off him.

I’ve seen Goff compared to Ryan.

.

i saw that. i could live with that. surprised that cosell rates him above mariota and winston.

i’m also surprised that cosell had questions about goff under pressure. i coulda sworn i heard waldman say he liked goff under pressure.

if you asked me last week i would a said don’t trade up.

but i’m starting to think that if goff is available at the 7th or 8th spot, rams should start making some calls.

despite his terrifyingly miniscule hands.

i have him rated number 3 among qbs. i’d take him at 15 if goff and wentz weren’t available.

either that or take doctson or best defensive player available.

a strong arm and some mobility. but serious questions about ability to make quick decisions and read defenses.

i do like him better than cook.

yeah. no trade up. not worth it. i would, however, like them to be aggressive with that pick. don’t play it safe.
