ARTICLE: Rams paid a big price in trade with Panthers to move up 13 spots for Braden Fiske


Recommended Posts

Article: 

The Rams must love rookie defensive lineman Braden Fiske, because they paid the Panthers a fortune to move up in the second round and draft him.

To move up from No. 52 to No. 39 and draft Fiske, the Rams gave up the 155th overall pick in this year’s draft, as well as the Rams’ second-round pick in next year’s draft.

That’s a rare price to pay, for a move up of just 13 spots in the second round. In fact, according to Seth Walder of ESPN Analytics, the Rams overpaid by the most any team has overpaid to move up on Day Two of the draft in at least the last six years.

Ultimately, the Rams used two second-round picks and a fifth-round pick on Fiske. That’s a lot to spend.

For the Panthers, it’s a great deal that nets them a second-round pick next year in addition to Jonathon Brooks, the running back the Panthers drafted after making another trade that packaged the two picks they got from the Rams. The Panthers didn’t have a 2025 second-round pick, having shipped it to Chicago in last year’s Bryce Young trade, but now they have a second-round pick after making a good trade on Friday.

Honestly, this is the move that impressed me the most out of the whole draft. The fact we were able to come away with a solid WR, potential stud TE, RB, and a second round pick next year, is fantastic. 

No question, and to get the 5th round option for Legette, we really came out well after trading away so much draft capital for Bryce. To get the guy we were targeting with a 5th year option as well as getting a 2nd back for next year is a huge win

This is getting overlooked IMO. It was a great trade and we still got the player we wanted in Brooks. It’s nice to be on this side of a trade for once…

Yeah this was one of the best trades we managed in a while. Gained our second back from the Bryce trade, likely got the guy we wanted anyways.

People were like "lol, Fiske who?" when I mocked several times to us in the 2nd round.  Apparently the Rams thought highly of him.  I wouldn't have paid the price they did to move up, but he's a legit disrupting force and can play anywhere on the DL.  Would have been a great pairing with Brown.

We didn't get to fleece them in the Burns trade, but at least we got them to overpay in another trade.  That's unless dude turns into a perennial Pro Bowler.

Great trade. Basically turned Burns into an extra 2nd AND got the guy we wanted.

Yeah the Burns compensation when you factor in the Rams trade was two 2nds and two 5ths. Turned out quite well in the end, although obviously not as good as it could have been a year earlier.

Too bad we hadn't already turned Burns into their first this year and next.

Most def should’ve made that trade. But at this point, ‘woulda coulda shoulda’.

Morgan turned chicken sh!t, into chicken salad.

And that's the thing. I get it people are going to parrot the word "DAWG" a thousand times about prospects and whine about not taking the exact player they wanted out of tens of thousands of collegiate players, but give credit where it is due. With all the misgivings of the Fitterer era and people are still bringing up Hurney, give Morgan and this set of coaches credit for making a how much do you all want him trade to acquire a high pick next year. I'm over the moon that just once, in a long time we didn't get fleeced!

    • Right. But you do understand that there is no such thing as not signing free agents, right? That's what I mean. So make some good free agency moves and do well in the draft. That's step one. If you can't accomplish that, then this will just keep getting worse.
    • Sweet jebus this is idiotic Yes, overall team success in this league, you need a good QB, but beyond just that painfully obvious fact, let's get into the rest of the stupid in there......... First things first, you say.. "if we need a good QB for him to have success, then why are you drafting that player with the #1 pick" Show me one time I've ever said we would need a good QB for T-Mac himself to have success... you can't, because I never have.  I think you're referring to the "he's bad enough that we then have a Top 5 pick to target a QB" part of my post, which is very clearly talking about said QB, not T-Mac.  The other way to interpret that is just overall team success, which again, wouldn't be anything about T-Mac or his ability to impact the offense or overall team wins and losses. I'm quite sure I could do this with a number of teams over the years, but I don't want to spend the time to do multiple, so I'll keep it to just the 2023 Vikings right now since you wanted to use Jefferson as your example....... The Vikings went 3-6 after Cousins went down last year.  And two of those wins came before Jefferson even came back from his own injury, they were 1-4 in the final 5 weeks after Jefferson came back. In those 5 games, Jefferson had 31 catches, 503 yards, and 2 TDs Having the WR you specifically called out didn't help them go better than 1-4 with a bad QB, even though he still put up a great stat line for that time period either.  It also didn't make that QB good enough to where they then went out and brought in TWO new QB's this year to replace Doubs and Mullens who started down the stretch for them last year. And that's with 4th year Jefferson, not a rookie that T-Mac would be If you expect a WR getting drafted #1 overall to be the player to turn a franchise as bad as we are around in 1 season, make whatever QB we're able to put in there be successful, and lead us to a solid season, then you are literally insane. We are AWFUL, we have a few young guys who could turn into great players, but we are so far from being a good team, that there isn't any player we could draft next year that is going to change that in 2025.
