The Rams best 2 WR of the past 15 years were drafted in the 3rd and 5th rounds respectively. I think they know exactly what they're doing

Which just reinforces my point that the draft approach they used for this year.. an "all in" year, was wrong.

Has anyone used the term "all in" this offseason except media or fans? Did the Rams say that? The term "all in" is dumb in of itself. The Rams never said they were "all in" so not sure why you would assume they'd go off what your assumption is that term means. If anything they've been pretty up front about looking to the future while spending considerable resources for the now.

Opinion.

It was clear that the Rams saw this as - potentially - Stafford's last year and paid more attention to obtaining known talent (Garrett, McDuffie, Watson) in order to make a SB happen.

That doesn't mean they got lazy with draft picks. They're (the picks) not playing because they're not ready to play a lot on a team that is trying very hard to win a SB.

I get this impression you started this thread to attempt to sway people. I'm sorry to tell you this... but the attempt isn't succeeding very well.

Holy shit..
You can't be real.
What we see on the field is what we see on the field.

Where did I say the Rams don't know how to draft? You simply may not be able to understand my point and probably should excuse yourself from future comment is this is what you come up with.

They're not playing because they have a QB and could've easily signed a better backup for a SB run.

They did get lazy.

Incorrect on the last.

Here we go again, round and round. You dont draft by predicting injuries.
You didnt like the Rams draft picks, the Rams did.
Get over it already and maybe try to enjoy the season. That is, if you actually are a fan of the team. Frankly, it's hard to tell

I'm so disappointed. Where is the intellectual honesty? Post his entire quote.

"If Matthew decides to come back… and I don't know how much it weighs and how you balance each because we definitely think about there is a vision to have sustained success over time. There's a balance there," Snead said. "If Matthew decides to come back, I do think there'll be an element where whether it's 51-49, whether it's 52-48, whether it's 60-40, let's definitely make the most of the time we have with Matthew because as we just discussed, the type of season he had, the type of season that he's still showing that he can have, there are only so many of those left. Those are some moments that you want to take advantage of for sure."

This implies their moves would lean more towards the present but clearly suggests that it's not "all in."

Um... I just posted the tweet.

And nothing in that quote changes the sentiment of doing everything you can to take advantage of Stafford window.

edit adding.. that I see where you're going. The 60-40 line..

Got it. You think it's an assumption the Rams were going "all in."

And.. you may be right!! Because if they were trying to maximize this Super Bowl year.. they would've used their first two draft picks accordingly.

So.. we .. as fans.. were wrong.. the Rams were not going all out for a Super Bowl and were fine with not doing everything they could to get one this year.

I posted the entire quote for you. Go review it. What do you think the phrase "there's balance there" means?

So they traded for McDuffie & Myles Garrett and bring Aaron Donald out of retirement but that isnt proof of them going for it, because you didnt like their first round pick.
What a laugh

It's, by definition, NOT "all-in."

Words mean stuff.

Nah, dude.
I trust the team, it's personnel dept. and all of the hours and experience that they put into each draft. They have a plan.
I'm just not interested in debating 'what if' scenarios for days on end.
Enjoy yourselves, though.
