At #19 Veach can take the best OT on the board. Veach also gets Kupp on a 3 year deal that will only cost us about $20M a year! Then to make the math work and give Kupp a lower 2nd round pick value(See Diggs trade for Marketplace value atm) we swap our late 2nd(#64) with Rams #52.


Gets our tackle, elite WR at a great price with low risk AND an earlier 2nd rounder to grab another WR or OL or even just BPA.

This is like crack cocaine for you isn’t it?

Can we also get Aaron Donald to come out of retirement and play in KC as part of the deal? And a waiver on their impact to our salary cap as some sort of compensation for bringing Taylor Swift to the NFL?

Sure this would be great. Too bad the Rams would never do it.

Before you post another trade scenario, you should ask yourself this question:

If I was the GM of this other team, with knowledge of my roster and cap situation, would I make this trade?

Because no ****in' way would the Rams do that.

In running the mock drafts one thing that I've noticed is that we tend to get pretty good players falling to us when Bo Nix and/or Michael Penix are taken in the first round. The site that I've been using ranks them at around #31-#32. Minnesota is really looking for a QB and I'm sure they're working hard to trade up, so if they're unsuccessful in that pursuit, they might entertain trading down with us. We'd get the #23 pick and they'd get the #32 pick + other compensation.

Miami might be another that would consider trading down. They only have 6 picks in the draft and they supposedly need IOL, NT, and DL. They're currently at #21.

Michael Hall JR is becoming a real draft crush for me.

The want has become real over the last week and a half for me. He's picking up steam everywhere.

What we NEED to do is just keep stacking good football players and fill holes with short free agent deals. Do that, and it'll all work out. Reach for guys based on need, and you're going to screw yourself.

There's not a single position at #32 that Veach would piss me off by taking. Not a one. Just get a good football player.

Even if it was a ****ing QB, a year or two under Reid and you could probably flip him for a higher pick. That's how adamant I am about just taking a good football player.
