Something tells me they don’t get a deal done with Donald this year.

A Rams mock draft with fairly rigorous player profiles….

As for me. I just want to see them win another Superbowl right now. I’m nearly 56. I don’t know how many more I’ll get to see so yes–win now. Get another ring.

Well Pa, I got news for you.

You’re still a relatively young man. You can expect to be following this team for perhaps another 25 to 30 years. So time really isn’t an issue yet.

Not sure if the prospect of two and a half to three more decades of this should excite or disappoint you, but there it is…

One more note on Brandin Cooks: #Rams are getting an incredibly productive WR who Sean McVay has coveted. But #Patriots didn’t see him as a true No. 1 for them… and from what I understand, Tom Brady is not sad about this move. Despite his numbers, Cooks wasn’t a great fit.

ESPN's Adam Schefter: Brandin Cooks Was the WR #Rams Were After All Along –He analyses why the Patriots traded Cooks to the Rams for the 23rd overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. The Rams were interested in Cooks for over a month.https://t.co/Psjk4jM8yh pic.twitter.com/pivW5NTbUb

#Rams had trouble with defenses not doubling their backside WR last year (Watkins). Trade for Cooks changes that.

@RamsNFL y’all are going to love Brandin. Great guy and one of my favorite people from my time in New Orleans! Love this move

Brandin Cooks lined up all over the place for the Patriots, but, as ESPN's Mike Reiss said, he is best used as an X receiver, which is where Sammy Watkins lined up. Cooks will bring more speed, but Rams paid a heavy price.

I will say this.

It is a very weird thing to get one of the most productive WRs in the game and have so many people hate it when two years ago people were excited for Nelson Spruce.

I’m actually a fan of Nugent’s music, but it’s hard for me to listen to it anymore knowing what a complete douche he is.

“Rams’ 2018 schedule features only three top-10 offensive lines from last season…”

My prediction?

While I agree that the first three seasons are the best (some of the best stuff ever put on TV) I don’t think the following seasons are necessarily bad. It’s still good TV – it’s just not quite as compelling as it used to be. It’s still better than 92% of the stuff out there.

When a team is a playoff-caliber team, i always like a veteran backup QB.

I’d like to see them sign George Blanda.

Maybe it’s just me, but I think Geroge Blanda is a little too dead to be a back-up QB in today’s NFL.

Sure, maybe you could scheme around that 20 years ago or so, but not now.

The thought of Suh signing with the Rams makes me feel apprehensive, not excited. Too many things could go wrong.

I agree. How many guys that have questionable character can the Rams sign before it reaches a critical mass? They would be better off signing a true NT.

Do you happen to remember the names of any of the old flamers we used to get on any of the old boards? I’ve gotten too old and forgetty to remember any of them.

I guess i do remember one, though i am not sure flamer is quite the right descriptor for him: AirRams. He got a little scary.

Calif-Tom.

An alternate headline could be…

I’m a little nervous about replacing 3 of our 4 linebackers. I don’t recall any team ever doing that before.

It makes me nervous too, but apparently inside LBs are not as difficult to replace in Wade’s defense, provided you find the right type.
