2012 1st round (14th pick) - DT Michael Brockers (starter, impact player)

2012 2nd round (7th pick) - CB Janoris Jenkins (starter, impact player)

2012 2nd round (18th pick) - RB Isaiah Pead (back-up, no impact)

2012 5th round (15th pick) - G Rokevious Watkins (released, no impact)

2013 1st round (30th pick) - LB Alec Ogletree (starter, impact player)

2013 3rd round (30th pick) - WR Steadman Bailey (back-up, small impact)

2013 5th round (27th pick) - RB Zac Stacy (starter, impact player)

2014 1st round (2nd pick) - OT Greg Robinson (slotted starter, likely impact player)

 

Pretty good haul by St. Louis.

 

I wonder how much better Washington would be with the players above along with Kirk Cousins than what they have now?

Rams made out well, I almost thought they'd be able to trade out of this pick as well. Imagine last night if they had moved down against, and once again doubled/tripled their first round picks.  All in all, they are building a great team down there, but wont' be anything until they replace Bradford.

Rams are stacked with talent but it all goes to show you - if your QB isn't performing, the rest of your team doesn't matter.  See: Houston.  Stacked with talent at almost every position but no QB = 2-14.

Washington made the playoffs and RGIII was rookie of the year. The Rams will not make the playoffs again this year on account of 49ers, Cardinals...oh and the SB Champs Seahawks.

 

Cousins was exposed down the stretch last season and has never looked like a franchise QB.

 

Washington made out just fine.

More trivia: both the jaguars and the Vikings picked QBs in the first round, two teams that picked QBs in the first round in 2011

 

Follows the tried and true mantra that picking a bust at QB sets your team back 3 years.  Panthers really got the pick of the litter with Cam.  We are very fortunate as Panther fans.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
