Click through thread, Jourdan talks about process
Obviously not directing this at you but this is a terrible tweet and line of thinking.
If McVay leaves and we draft an OL the next coach could want a new scheme up front and any pick is also possibly useless.
We draft a WR then Puka and Adams are healthy and the guy is little more than an after thought because McVay has taken a liking after last year to use more TE so the pick is wasted. Also with that WR if this insane hypothetical of McVay leaving does the next coach want the kind of WR we took?
Same can be said for any position. Does this genius criticize other picks because that teams coach could leave or even more likely for some team not the Rams get fired?
I'm guessing you are a body language expert
When you have an MVP, Super Bowl-winning QB in your building, who has elevated your entire franchise, it's probably best not to start whooping and hollering with glee in front of the press. Perhaps, as the leader of his team, McVay should think about shit like that before he does a press conference. Oh, wait a minute, he fucking did! Phew!
What are you talking about???? I'm the one that ORIGINALLY stated that RIGHT HERE on this site!!!!
And THEN I watched the snippets from the press conference, after a few posters mentioned it.
It was obviously awkward to almost everyone.
For crying out loud!! - This is like when people were saying they've never seen a certain former politician so sharp, so cogent.
Open your eyes!!!!!!!!

I think this is what I think right now:
I don't like the pick at that price but he's our QB and I'll cheerlead him. This - to me - is a huge swing on taking a guy and sitting him and a belief in the offensive staff developing a QB over time. I hate the lack of starts and while I think McVay is a top 3 coach in the NFL I actually don't put him as a top 3 QB guru and I think the jury is out on how well he can develop a guy.
If this works out, he'll truly be one of the top coaches in the league but also of all time.
God I just hope Simpson can put a little more weight on and keep up his athleticism. Sure would be nice if he could somehow improve mechanics to get a little more RPM on the ball too.
As a few have said here, there are knock on benefits we can't forget: We have our future QB now, the economics of the team and who we sign change some in our favor and the door is open for us to use future capital in 2027 to strengthen the team for a run this year. Don't be surprised if we move a 2nd or 4th next year to move around in this draft.

Yeah no shade, just trying to push out all takes with no fear nor favor.
I missed 10+ pages last night and have too much work this morning to catch up fully. How I see it today:
-We drafted McDuffie with our 1st round pick
-Simpson is a gift from Atlanta last year (we took the same guy we were going to draft, but got a 1st out of it)
Did any team draft anyone better then McDuffie last night? Answer: No
We should get an A+ for our 1st round, analysts just aren't factoring in the pro bowl CB we got.
Also, I think its arguable that we now have the best back up QB in the league, who was heading towards the 1st pick in this draft for the 1st half of the season last year (in our own posts here). QB is the most important position in all of professional sports. If you gamble, you gamble on drafting a franchise QB.
I certainly was hoping for a trade back, Lemon, Sadiq, etc. But taken everything into account, I'm satisfied with the results.
We now have a cost controlled QB for the next 5 years when we have a ton of extensions to work out and for all we know, Staff has indicated this is his last season. I'd rather have a QB sit behind the GOAT and learn from him for a year then have a new rookie jump right in and be expected to lead our great team.

That's also a possibility...especially after reading how well the extension talks were going.
Perhaps the talks aren't going to go so well now.
Who knows?
Yeah, funny, but as I recall that was after failing to move up for the guy he REALLY wanted.
See how it works? There's disappointment, and it shows in McVay's demeanor.

And you, my friend, are not a serious person.
Ignoring the obvious and talking down to someone doesn't alter facts.
But hey, delusion seems to be all the rage in this country.
Oh well
Well I am old and don't give a shit about 3 years from now. Not till I get there.

1st discussion is Simpson with Jourdan. She echos my thoughts and concerns (she's so smart!).
MUST LISTEN!
Last years draft takes some strays from her!

Does no one find it a little concerning that the guy we picked at 13 will only have 1 season of football in 5 yrs under his belt by the time he see's the field?
13.
Grade: FNo way. This is wild. An undersized QB without great traits going this high doesn’t make much sense. This is such a far deviation from the current talent level and arm talent of the top quarterbacks in the league — including current Rams starter Matthew Stafford. Maybe sitting on the bench behind Stafford will unlock some latent talent in Simpson, but the back half of Simpson's season was legitimately not good. Even if he was injured, his size makes that a concern in the NFL, too.
