Everyone wants to draft a franchise QB next year. .That's a great idea except if it was that easy every team would have two. Or the Wilson in the third crowd? Why waste a third when when we can get a Brady in the sixth.
The Rams are in a bad place. They may not get what they want in the draft, a guy that can start game one or even next season. They might not get what they want in Fa. The options on the team now may not be options next year.
Unfortunately a demimshed Bradford might be a option.
I tend to agree. I don't think the Rams are going to be bad enough to get into to the top five of the draft, so unless they get really lucky we probably arent going to get a franchise QB that way. A good QB perhaps, and perhaps that's all we need, but its not going to be a sure thing. A re-habbed Bradford versus Christian Ponder the Second? Aside from Ponder-version-2 being more likely to stay on the field (a big consideration no doubt) I'm not sure you are getting the better quarterback. They might be better off drafting a LB/Safety/CB/whatever and signing somebody to compete with Sam out of training camp. A Sanchez type. Trust me, I'm not thrilled with the idea, but it might come down to that.
But I have to ask again, what was the point in drafting Gilbert? If they STILL don't think he is the future then they would have been better off drafting a special teamed or depth at that spot, no? Maybe they do think Gilbert can step in next year and replace Bradford but I'm guessing they might be the only ones. Which again begs the question of why even draft him if you don't think he can be used in the very situation you drafted him for.
Unless I'm wrong and Gilbert really is the answer for next year?
