This really does just look like they think Robinson is better for either what they’re doing or what they will be doing. Height, contested catches?

My wild-speculation is they fell in love with what OBJ could do in the red-zone, and they think Robinson can do some of that same stuff.

Who knows, though.

CIA chief Duane Clarridge explains how the crimes of Pinochet were "worth it" and that the US will overthrow democratically elected governments whenever it wants. When told that's a violation of foreign populations, his reply is clear: "well that's just tough" pic.twitter.com/jJNx9ZS7To

Yeah, a lot of things have to go right for it to work. Most importantly you have to draft well on the second day.

My list on team-building would include:

1. You need an elite QB, who can make a no-look-pass, to an elite-WR,

in the clutch, late in the 4th quarter, of the super bowl.

Mark Schlereth is interesting, here.   Talks a bit about the Shanahan/McVay differences/similarities

So that’s about the same as what the Rams got for Robert Woods, except for the 1st, the 2nd, and two 4ths.

You Wood-ites, ignore the fact that RW chose to blow out

his knee during the stretch drive.

WTF?    Who saw ‘that’ coming?

My goodness.  Hill was one of the reasons Ive been picking the Chiefs to win

the Ring for the last 3 years.   Wow.   They just aint as scary without him.

I think the media has now fully come to terms with the fact that they are the propaganda department. Media used to see itself as independent investigators, reporting the Truth. From time-to-time, they collaborated with Power to shape an “important” narrative, but still saw themselves as basically independent. That has eroded over time so much that I think now that no longer lie to themselves about that. They know their function is to spin stories, and it’s openly accepted. They don’t fool themselves into thinking they report objective reality. They weave it, and they know that’s what they do.

There’s probably a mix of things going on.   And some of the media is probably as you say — just outright, conscious propagandists.

But among ‘that’ group, most probably think they are ‘doing the right thing’, ie, ‘we are the good guys’, the CIA is battling evil, etc etc.

I would imagine they have internalized all the ‘proper’ narratives, that were successfully poured into their heads.

Which of course, raises the topic of the ‘how’ of it all.  How do these narratives get poured into so many ‘educated’ peoples’ heads….

Just heard about the trade today.   Makes perfect sense to me.

1.) I think Robinson is probably a tad better player for what the Rams/Stafford now want to do.   And he’s not coming off an ACL and he’s a year younger.

2.) The cap is the cap.

3.)  The 6th rounder just tells me, they loved Woods.  I doubt there’s anybody else they would do that for except the team captain and beloved-ram: Robert Woods.   I also think they wanted him in the AFC.  Definitely not on Green Bay.

4.) We all love Woods.  I certainly do. He became an ALL-TIME fave in a short time.  But give me a straight up choice between Robinson and Woods — I think I go with Robinson.   Its close, though.   And who knows how it will turn out.

Yeah, last time they had a draft that looked like that, this was all they could muster up out of it.

===========

That was an A-plus job by Snead and his personnel guys, but

I am skeptical that that kind of result can be duplicated.   I dunno.

I remember when Bobby Beathard was a personnel genius…and then he wasn’t.

As a Seahawk fan, you should accept the fact we are all in a

Post-Doom era.

total, the Rams have one third-rounder, one fourth-rounder, one fifth-rounder, three sixth-rounders and two picks in the seventh round.

3, 4, 5, 6(2), 7(2)  — 7 total picks.

This will be the Rams weakest draft in many years, I assume.  Barring some

miraculous drafting.

The Price for all the successful wheeling and dealing really kicks in this year,

I guess.

Only one 3rd round pick. We gave the Broncos, are 2nd & 3rd round picks in this draft, for Von Miller. We don’t start picking, until our 3rd round comp pick, which is near the end of the 3rd round.

We will rally around our comp picks,

and we will Play good football.

Perhaps, having a topnotch LT, is a key ingredient:

Orlando Pace

Andrew Whitworth
