Alright you draft nerds, if the rams first offer had the panthers at +2 what would that trade look like moving down 18 spots?  

It couldn't be their 2nd, cause panthers already had it. 

It had to be 26th, 3rd rounder plus next years 1st 3rd. With a couple more picks in the middle rounds. Looking back, Peace Jr wasn't a bad pick as much as I hate the falcons. Just next years draft has a QB surplus and if penx busts, you have made a era worth mistake.....

If there's one team to not care about overpaying, its the rams. Well.... the jags just traded away too much as well. ATL too....

May be nothing but was a little surprised to see Canales lack of interest/excitement when Morgan asked him about drafting Horn. 

You mean not showing excitement about a 6th rd pick? Lol

I wonder if the value in theory of those picks next year go up in value simply because of the qb influx that will be in the draft? I just hope this isnt another burns situation.

doesn't sound like he's making the decisions, though. sounds like he's letting them make the decisions and they are just asking if he's on board with it all. i think he trusts them to get the job done. probably isn't easy for him to let go, but he might just be learning.

agreed. As mentioned elsewhere, not unusual for (any team's) owner to be in the draft room.

But comparing the hands-on draft style of Jerry Jones vs (what appeared to be) a more observant/less-involved Tepper this year... it seems very much like Dan was running the show and making the player decisions with his football mgmt team

Also his wife wasn't in the room from what I could tell

Seems like Ez, JTT, & Scourton were targets. Unsure how they stacked but they had a 1st round grade on Nic. Good stuff. 

And they were targeting Princely for a while - Dan wanted him badly.

Really good stuff

My rough place for Scourton (based on a compilation of several prospect rankings) was late first, so I did not research him much.  I nearly forgot about him.  His college production his final year was not elite--but that seems to be the system.  I noticed that (at Tex AM) he had outside contain a lot, and was not rushing the QB--that means the CBs were probably in man coverage.  So I think he could be good in this system.  Princely?  I had him going in the middle of the second round; he was my hope once we took TMac.  Most of the mocks I saw had him going in the 40-48 range.  When we traded up, I had forgotten about Scourton (or did not know that much about him) and I thought we would draft Princely.  I was actually a bit disappointed because I think Princely will be a very good Edge.  I would not be surprised to see both statistically challenge the first round Edge players.

    • I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.
    • I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
