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

All the usual power-blocs trying to control the narratives.

…as an aside, I have come to call this the ‘post-modern-condition.’   Just my own term, i use inside my own head.   Its the condition “I” feel because I can no longer trust 99 percent of the ‘info’ that I am assaulted with each day.

I have no idea how much of this Jacobin article is ‘true’.

So, I am left with what?   Well, I still trust my ‘big picture’ ideas.  For example Capitalism is destroying the biosphere.  Capitalism is a sophisticated Lie-machine.   Nation-States operate like Gangster states.     Etc.

I trust my ‘big picture’ notions (mostly.  always open to modifications).

But I do ‘not’ trust the more ‘granular’ info or specifics about ‘what is going on’ especially in real time.

‘post-modern-conditon’.   An unsatisfying state of mind.  For me.  Always skeptical about the granular ‘info’ and narratives.

A lot of people ask me about the internal attitudes and dynamics in Russia surrounding the war, thankfully Alexey Sakhnin has written a very nuanced article on the matter. Highly recommended.https://t.co/iQUEhZuYez

I keep hearing this: “If you pay your QB more than 12.4 percent of your cap,

you dont win the super bowl”

As long as hes not a 49er, I dont care.

Carson Wentz trade rendered invisible because of the Wilson and Rogers situations, but, as Cowherd noted, Wentz threw 27 TDs and 7 pix, last season.

94.6 rating.

2017, he threw 33 TDs and 7 INTs.

2019, he threw 27 TD’s and 7 INTs

2018 he threw 21 TDs and 7 INTs.   And had a 102 QB rating.

I dunno.  He’s got leadership issues, etc, but I think Washington got an upgrade at QB.    If I’m a Dallas fan, I’m a little more nervous about Washington.

Von Miller to me on the phone while on vacation regarding his football future: “I want to figure it out with the Rams first & foremost because they’ve been real good to me. On the slim chance that can’t happen, then I’ll explore all my options.

Rams Brothers@RamsBrothers

Von Miller is prioritizing his future with the Rams, because of the people in the Rams’ facilities. Their culture is the best in the league. You’d have to be falling into a position that’s obviously superior in order to want to leave this team. Nearly impossible at this point.

===

I am persuaded that the Rams ‘culture’ may very well be ‘the best in the league’

etc, and so forth — but Von aint stayin.

No way, a team can afford two first-ballot Hall of Famers on one D-Line.

I’m still basking in the super-bowl-after-glow.

Doesnt matter to me if the rams sign anyone.    I dont care if they go 0-17 next year.     I’m just going to rewatch that no-look pass over and over

for the rest of my days.

But you people, go ahead and live in the present.

Denver fans having a parade, I’m sure.

Fandom is easier when ya got a great QB.

The last time the Rams had a great QB, he mangled his thumb, and we only got, what, 3 full healthy-kurt-years.

Let us hope Stafford gives us 5 more years.

So much fun having a stone-cold-gunslinger.

WV has mentioned in the past that’s he’s been doing anthropological studies of Left Twitter, but I don’t know his “handle.” Given that you’re both Seahawks fans, you must talk a lot about Seattle?
