Can we trade for a WR1?

Trade for Cooper Kupp - he’s a #1 and the Rams need cap space.  They have 2 guys that have stepped up in Kupps absence.

That guy is injury prone. Rams force fed him for 2 straight years. He's probably seen his best days.

My god.  Defense is the only functional unit on this team.  A single WR, much less one a team is willing to part with is not going to solve the offensive issues.  We just need to play some game managing ball like Atlanta is doing with Ridder and let our defense give us a chance.  Give Bryce & Co time to get better.  Trading away players from our defense is NOT the answer at all.

If only we had a generational running back that we picked 8th overall that would take some pressure off the qb

Then maybe just maybe it's a Rams thing not a kupp thing

That plus he is just a better version of Thielen.  A slot possession WR who is good at finding holes in the defense.  Kupp just plays for one of the best offensive minds in the game.  Oh and we have his former assistant (Thomas Brown) but refuse to let him call plays....

[DeAngelo Beason]

We just need Bryce Young to play better.  That's it.  We have two losses that can be placed squarely on his shoulders.  If he doesn't turn it over, we're 2-0.  Having a #1 WR would be great, but taking away from the defense, the only thing keeping the team in contention, is not going to make us winners.

Short term.  Ready by week 5

Novel thought but instead of looking for a 1, why not try and find a few guys that can actually get separation. I don't care if they came from FugRhule U. The leading receiver in the NFL right now was a 5th round comp pick nobody. Surely there's a few guys out there available that can actually get a step on someone. How can they be worse than what we're seeing right now?

And keep CMC and Moore for Young. Hindsight is always 20/20, but it sure seems like most of the realistic fans have better ideas than what the team actually does. Oh, but we can’t play GM.

Here’s one to gnaw on, the trade value we gave up and used to draft Corral and DJ Johnson is almost the same as the trade value we got for CMC. We gave up more to get Darnold than we got for CMC. We gave up about half the trade value we got for CMC to get CJ Henderson.

Fitterer has really put this team in a bad situation

Not really injury prone I would say. Just one of many this year that have had hamstring problems.

Would having a stud WR be nice? Yes of course. What it won’t change is Bryce’s accuracy throwing down field. He’s yet to connect on a deep throw so far even when our current receivers are open.

That's because Kupp is a system wr that has begun the injury stage of his career. If anything, i would try for Puka Nacua, but the Rams aren't stupid.  It would make perfect sense for Fitterer to make the Kupp trade because he is an idiot. We traded down to take Jonathan Mingo who never got any separation at Ole Miss (go look at his college highlights) and won't get any separation now. Pretty tough to step up to the NFL speed when you have no one that can create space. This wr bunch would be taxing on a vet let alone a rookie.
