And that is one of the main reasons that then Rams Daniel F. Reeves and George Allen did not get along. Reeves was one of the first owners to introduce scouting to the NFL and Tex Schramm learned under Reeves. Allen wanting to trade draft choices like Harold Jackson (Rams drafted Jackson originally in 1968) drove Reeves crazy.
Not true, years ago everyone was wondering why Boise State could not join the PAC-12 and the reason was because of not offering graduate programs. Again that was years ago, they now offer graduate programs and it looks like they will join a new PAC 12 beginning in 2026.
That's what turned me off about the website. Sometimes players would be missing or just placed in the wrong draft class.
I was talking present day, yes the Pac 12 is raiding the mountain west. I think it will cost somewhere around 100 mil to join, don't remember the exact amount if I ever heard it at all. We have 2 conferences that include 34 of the top Football schools some 2nd tier conferences that I mentioned along with whatever they call the Mountain West/Pac 12 merger, as of now I believe it still stands at 4 MW teams joining. Then you have rest that include a couple quality independents the mid American and Conference USA and that's about it for FBS .
How about Emmanwori. A thumper who can play SS/NB and I believe ILB. Curl and/or Lake may be gone next year, OLB is an immediate need. I see him as the Cooper Dejuan of 2025.
Type their names in the search.
why do you think he would fall
Do you have a big board? Where would Fannin slot in on your board?
Does he have some sort of issue or red flag bubbling behind the scenes? Because while I agree he's a bit overrated (the generational talent shit is so overused it's ridiculous I think) it's not like there's a deep group of blue chips at the top of this one.
I don't consider the depth of a class to be prohibitive for trading up for a special player. If Warren is considered a game-changer and a possible all pro player, you trade up for that no matter how much depth there is in the class.
Unless that player is a QB, I do. And for a few reasons.
I think we need HamptonWarren, Jeanty, Hampton, Egbuka.
Weapons.
Adams was a nice add. Tutu? We’ll see.
FA has been successful to fill needs and add depth elsewhere but i still strongly believe that our skill guys are lacking in explosion. As of today I still don’t see much “he can score from anywhere” guys here.
It’s possible that the Rams hit on these qualities on day two or three of this draft but not likely.
I would have zero issues with going up to grab a true difference maker.
We have a two year window with Stafford (maybe just one year) ….and a pretty good roster overall. We’re close.
F them picks should be in play if the opportunity is there. Some of our more conservative members and draft pick hoarders will scold me im sure. I know what this offense needs. Trust me.
These guys are having a good discussion on trade ups in rd 1 and the QBs.
I believe more factors would be considered. Like the amount of team needs, depth of game changing type players, positional need, and preference of the head coach.
