Apparently so.

I just went back and skimmed over the three pages on this thread to see how accurate it turned out to be.
Unless I missed it, I did not see one name the Rams drafted.
Rams visited multiple people they drafted, just not all after the draft.

Scouts and front office people visit with prospects during the season. Talk with coaches and do local scouting. No way that every interview at the Combine and bowl games are tracked.

The visits the Rams don't do are top 30 visits because they're tracked. They send s outs to pro days and sometimes position coaches because those aren't always tracked and reported. The last private workout I remember were the QBs when we drafted Goff, they did a lot of work on those QBs.

Also I phrased that poorly was on the work phone tuning somebody out. Meant to say after the season.

What’s that have to do with following the lists of reported visits?

We all know that the Rams and every NFL team sends scouts to colleges and may go on visits that are not reported.

The point being made was that the reported list of visits doesn’t include drafted players and it rarely if ever does. So that list is largely useless when trying to get insight into whom the Rams may draft, before the draft.

I guess you'd have to read the conversation in whole to know what I was saying.

She was completely wrong which should come as no surprise as they are hardly going to be straight up, honest and open with a beat reporter
Isn't it possible that she was right but that no QB they wanted was available to them at the price they wanted to pay?

That seems to be one of the possible scenarios that played out.

If they were after a QB, then why were they talking about taking Ferguson throughout the footage? The only QB taken in the vicinity was Monroe. Their actions later, trading away draft picks for "hot" prospects, signal that they were not targeting him. After all, you don't sit and wait if you have decided a QB is the guy. So, no, as often, I do not agree :)
