No, I’m not hallucinating.
And there was almost no roster competition.. and they have several active roster spots that are complete wastes.

But.. go on…

There was "almost no roster competition"? Were you at camp? Did they only have 53 guys in camp? Xavier was the only.guy returning punts in camp? Whittington was the only gunner in camp? Our current ST crew were the only guys playing ST in camp.

By the way, did you see our 2nd round pick getting 25 snaps (46%) yesterday. Hell even CJ Daniels got a couple. So maybe not a bunch of wasted roster spots as you clajm, eh? Maybe just strong depth.

Its not your detractors who are desperate buddy.

Like Rhody said, amazing.

You've been corrected multiple times by multiple posters in this thread and yet your contetion is still that you know more than anyone.
So yeah, refusing to acknowledge all the flaws in your theory, and being belligerent at that, is why it is pure trolling at this point
Just a bad look for the board, alas

It usually takes around three years to determine how well a draft class develops in the NFL.

Give that man a beer!! All the rest of this thread is pure conjecture and inane opinions.

Except with no Ty Simpson there's no Myles Garrett and Aaron Donald.

:thumbsup1:Or McDuffy or Watson - which is the basic flaw in the OP's (never ending) take on the draft being a failure.
Eau contraire mon frere - It was a spectacular success in helping us THIS year.

Real fans don't just come in and say the Rams did a shitty job drafting but offer no ideas as to what could have been better. Puka Nacua was a 5th rounder and the Rams have a bunch of players who weren't highly drafted that make big contributions. Do the Rams hit every pick? No, but they're one of the best at finding good talent one days 2 and 3 of the draft. And the fact is, you can't really assess a Ty Simpson until he gets to play. If your contention is he won't play this season, then own it. But just making snarky comments and then insulting others on the board who disagree with you is a waste of everyone's time.

So we're supposed to value the opinion of any asshole out there? This is a low-hanging fruit "cheap shot," that doesn't take into account the potential genius if Simpson hits as a perennial playoff Franchise Quarterback. Its okay. Let these idiots take their shots.....

There will be many…. Joining others who have already questioned it..

They may still salvage the season.

Fingers crossed.

LOL, if anything this injury-plagued season PROVES the draft approach. Had we drafted players for 2026 it would be voided ANYWAY by the Puka, Davante, Ferguson, Garrett injuries and we STILL wouldn't be winning the '26 Super Bowl. Not to mention we MAY not have Garrett (lets not get into it). Our smart long-term approach to the draft at least netted us a possible (we'll see) Franchise Quarterback, that we may have to employ as soon as next year. Something tells me Staff may come back just to take another honest crack at it.

Obviously, I disagree.

But no need to rehash.

Reality is that with all these injuries, Makai Lemon, picked at 13, would have done nothing to help this team reach the SB.

However, they now have a young QB, who had he stayed in college this year, would be competing for QB1 in this upcoming draft.

Not sure why Makai is the response..

And.. we can think that, but we don’t know. Everyone thought Arch would be a consensus #1.

All I know is an injury ravaged team is getting absolutely nothing from this draft class.

They got McDuffie with the 29th pick and by securing Simpson at 13, they were able to trade next yrs #1 for Garrett. That's immediate impact.

So your comment is absurd. Now, you can't account for injuries. Any rookie could also get hurt as Garrett and McDuffie have.

It’s not absurd.
It’s a different path.

Again.. if the Garrett trade didn’t happen., they’d have Verse and the draft capital.
Since Garrett was out until this week.. what’s the tangible difference?

There’s a lot we don’t know.
But I feel pretty solid that the draft approach this year was misguided.. for this season.

Again.. for this season.

You can't have 20/20 hindsight on injuries. Any rookie you picked could also get hurt.
