    Rams offered 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 6th to the Jets for Brock Bowers??

    Really?   The kid is ‘that’ good?

    I dunno, man.

    I dont like to think of the Rams DLine without the new DE and DT.

     

    It will be interesting to watch the season Brock Bowers has this year.

    Barkley on the OJ thing, and other stuff.    I dont agree with Charles’ politics;  he often strikes me as a bit of a rightwing libertarian.    But i do find him interesting in many ways.

    They drafted him in the third because they absolutely loved him, he was a Sugarman visit, there is enough injury precedent even before this (recent) issue with Kyren to need a solid 2, and they will not extend running backs…

     

    I didnt think it was that black-and-white.   They ‘will not extend running backs.’

    Stafford is number One in the NFC.     2 thru 10 is a big jumble of confusion, projecting, and mystery.

    The McVay vs Shannahan rivalry is a bit normal, typical coach-stuff.

    At about the 3 or 4 minute mark, Snead mentions the ‘content team’ who ‘put together’ the whole phone call thing.

    Nothing sez postmodern-spectacle-corporate-sports like ‘the content team.’

    With Aaron Rogers in the AFC, and Brady gone, Stafford is the best in the NFC.

    He’s the only NFC QB with a Ring, I believe.

    Do the list makers have goldfish-memories or something?    Do they not remember the game against Brady IN Tampa?   That little game against Burrow and Cincy?

    Yeah, the running game was special last year.    I know it wasnt as electrifying as, say, the best Gurley year, but somehow last season seemed more…real.   Nothing gimicky.   Just line up and boom.

    I think the reference is to Rams writers. There are other great sports writers (I mentioned Zimmerman), but Rodrigue is the best Rams writer.

     

    Well, i took it to another level.   Is she the best NFL writer ever?

    I dunno.    She’s different than Dr Z, but I think i like her better.

    Granted Dr Z wrote back before they outlawed the head-slap against writers.

    That article is getting a lot of buzz. Many “big name” analysts and national sports writers love Jourdan’s work. It gets praised by those types in twitter all the time. And I mean high, high praise. I fear that that means she will sooner or later be moving on to bigger things, which will just be flat offered to her in tempting ways. And then–no longer a Rams reporter. You know, losing both Donald and Jourdan in the same lifetime is a lot to go through. 😲

    Brugler rated the Falcons draft as the worst, and he seems to share the consensus opinion that drafting Penix was a mind-bogglingly dumb pick. I guess I’m the only one who differs….

     

    I thought the Penix pick was reasonable.   Cousins is coming off surgery.   He’s gettin up there in age.   Falcons loved Pennix, ranked him in the top two QBs, according to Orlovsky.  ( Orlovsky compared his arm to Stafford’s btw)

    There’s pluses and minuses to it, obviously, but if Cousins gets hurt all the critics are gonna get real quiet.

     

    I’m still wondering whether McVay was really thinking about trading up for the Georgia Tight End.   Ive watched vids of that guy and i didnt notice any superhero traits.   I shall keep an eye on that kids career.   As well as Verses.

    PS.   Last year i was intrigued by the draft evals on Puka.   This year its the Michigan RB.  He’s first round talent in my book.   I hope K.Willams dont get upset about the new situation.

    I dont get the feeling that the Rams have closed the gap tween them and the 49ers.

    That’s a separate issue though, right? And can they do that in just one draft? But division games are deceptive. Divisional opponents know each other and so often the field is more even. Last year, in their first game (game 2 of the season), with the regulars starting (as opposed to the one Wentz started), Rams lost by 7 in the 4th quarter. They were down by 7 with more than 7 minutes left and then lost by 7. A loss is a loss but that’s not being dominated. And that was before the 2023 rookies kicked in (except for Avila) and before McVay knew what he had in Kyren Williams and after stripping the defense of several key veteran starters in the off-season. It was with Donald, but then also it was a defense where opposing teams knew all you had to do was stop Donald. Back to the mantra–what do you replace Donald with? A committee. Well, is it a good committee? We don’t know yet. Anyway, all that aside, was it a good draft? Absolutely looks like it…at this stage. Quite possibly even better than the 2023 draft.

     

    Well, just speaking for me, I cant separate them.   But i understand they are separate things.   And yet, in wv-brain they are…separate-but-inseparable.   Is there a word for that?

    I mean, yes, the Rams have added some talent.  Physical, bullying, hard-nosed talent.  (Ie, Shannahan type players?)   But i still cant separate ‘that’ from the fact it looks to me like they still ‘lost ground’ to the 49ers and Cards.   Thats just how it looks to me, after the draft.   Added talent.  Lost ground.

    But who knows.  Just tentative thotlets.

    As long as Matt Stafford is healthy, I’m excited to see the Rams.    There used to be another player in that sentence.   Now, its just 36 yr-old Stafford.
