DCOrange Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I have a hard time believing this report is accurate. Just seems too good to be true IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they were more enticed by 2 future picks and Goff - than Drew Lock and a single pick this year and I am not sure I disagree. This years draft and process is so messed up - now is the time to clear players, begin the process of establishing your future team and then you begin next year refilling the talent pool with multiple picks. They could have turned that #9 pick this year into more than a late first round pick next year and the following year. 19 minutes ago, Miyagi-Do Karate said: I would Have taken the Rams deal. Get two 1st rounders and a 3 rounder (not just the one 1st rounder), and a much much better QB. A QB way overpriced for what he offers and not good enough to win a SB with.

4merper4mer Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Jared Goff is horrible which makes him quite a bit better than Drew Lock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure at 9 - who you would expect to be available that someone wants to move up enough to give up multiple first round picks. I think they took a sure thing along with a better QB than a potential trade that may never be available and a worse QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope I am misunderstanding you haha— no. “I” as in “if I were the lions.” “I” (Bills fan) wouldn’t trade Allen for anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I don't understand this move at all for the Rams. I think Stafford is a better QB than Goff but Goff isn't a bad QB at all and Stafford isn't dramatically better. I also keep hearing the argument that the second first round pick is compensation for taking back Goff's contract. But that makes little sense since over the course of the next two seasons the Rams see little cap relief. They are taking on 20 million in dead money from this trade and combining that with adding Stafford's 20+ million dollar cap number. So the Rams lose 7 million in cap space in 2021 and only gain 14 million in cap space in 2022. The only net gain of cap space over two years is 7 million. It seems like an awful lot of draft capital to give up for at best a moderate upgrade to the QB position. For the Lions they made the right move, those draft picks will help them secure a proper rebuild and they do right to try and get a new longer term solution at QB while Goff is a solid placeholder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
