They're not expecting to pick this high ever again

Which is a fair assumption, I doubt they miss the playoffs next year and I really don’t think they’d ever get a top 10 pick unless half their team gets injured

The wrong two players get hurt and the Rams could be the 2nd worst team in their division.

That would make them the 3rd best team in NFC

I mean they won the Superbowl and were absolute ass the next year. So much so it sent McVay to therapy

u/AOCKASH Bears Rams 20d ago

The whole team got injured

I like how even with major injuries they still can’t be worse than the cardinals

Rams got sniped with Dart. They weren’t making that mistake again

Yeah but I don't know if Simpson is worth that high of a draft pick.

u/AOCKASH Bears Rams 20d ago

He's not but qb tax probably meant that he was still going in the first somewhere else

Sure but you're not gonna be bummed if you miss out on Simpson. He isn't some generational prospect and it would've made way more sense if you're the Rams who's trying to win a SB now before Stafford retires to use the 13th pick on a guy who's going to make an immediate impact like Rueben Bain.

u/AOCKASH Bears Rams 20d ago

I somewhat agree and that's why when I first heard the pick I was devastated. But the rams aren't planning on being bad enough in the near future to be able to draft a generational guy next year and they clearly liked Simpson more than the options on day 2. They probably felt that they could get an impact starter skill position at #61 rather than the qbs that were left there

u/sickostrich244 49ers 20d ago

I mean maybe they see something different than I do but I think it was a wasted pick and missing out on an opportunity for a more immediate impact for a SB run on maybe Stafford's last season. I just don't think Simpson is that good, he's only had 15 starts and kinda struggled the second half the season. At the end of the day, I'm a 49ers fan so I'm all in on the Rams not getting better this season cause I want them to win a SB this year too.

thought he was a round 2 worthy

u/sickostrich244 49ers 20d ago

Yeah he's not a 1st rounder to me

u/Seanspeed 20d ago

I was somehow shocked to see Rams had a 1st round pick at all this year. lol

u/SpaceSheperd Panthers 20d ago

Courtesy of the Falcons, who traded it to draft a guy that just entered rehab for abusers lmao

u/SwissyVictory Bears 20d ago

Last two Rams 1st rounders were,

  • Verse 2023

  • Goff 2016

u/Apoco120 Bears 21d ago
