Yeah, I didn't like to see that signing. The hags were going to be desperate for OL help which frees up guys for us in the 1st. Now they are at least not required to take OL and might snipe someone we have eyes on (Murphy, Latu, etc.).
Unless we're looking for an OL, then it's a good thing. Never know which way we want to go.

There has been talk of Abram’s injury becoming a long term problem. They may still want to draft a tackle.

Oh well, the interior of their line is still hot garbage, as is Lucas at RT. I guess I just didn't see how bad they still are. Hell, Tomlinson was awful last year also. I'm not still expecting them to go OL with their first, but, sneakily, could they be a DeJean team? Their safeties are potentially the worst duo in the NFL.

I wonder if the Broncos are going to give Wilson a legit shot? I also wonder if this effects their willingness to trade a haul to move up for a QB? I mean, he really shouldn't, but we have no idea how they view him and/or Stidham.

I think a kid like him needs to be handled carefully. I wouldn't give him shit. I'd tell him here's the playbook and if you want a roster spot you'd better come into camp prepared and run that fucking huddle like a pro. And if I saw any BS from him I'd cut him quickly to make an example of him.

I have a feeling Broncos are going to take Nix. That’s the type of QB Payton favors and they have no 2nd rounder. Think they are locked in to who falls to them and prefer Nix.

Maybe so, in which case they would trade down, not take him at 12. They've been rumored to want to trade down.

Yes, my thoughts is that is the connection between us and them. They want to trade down to 19 to draft Nix and we apparently want to move up for a OL .:thumbsdown:

Are you getting this impression primarily from Benjamin Allbright's reporting, or other reports? Another poster mentioned Allbright, who covers the Broncos.

Just curious.

You didn't ask me but I'll give you my opinion anyway lol

There are a lot of little clues coalescing in the last week or so.

1) Several reporters have released statements that they are hearing the Rams want to move up for an OT, including Allbright and Daniel Jeremiah.
2) Several reporters have stated that they are hearing that the Rams want OT badly. Schrager guaranteed we go offense and had us selecting OT. Other reports were more general stating we wanted an OT badly.
3) Vegas odds have 6 teams in the top 18 picks with strong odds to select an O'lineman first.
4) Add it all up, if the Rams want one of the top 3 OTs, they will have to trade up.
