What made me feel a little better is that an LA Rams 2nd rounder might as well be a late 1st. They are picking top 5 for sure. If Gaines ends up starting then that's a bonus. For a guy that wasn't going to be re-signed and may very well not even re-sign with LA, I think that's an acceptable deal. Blame Whaley for trading so much to get Watkins in such a deep WR draft. That's not Beane's fault. He got what he could.
As for Darby, he is a man to man guy. He's not going to be physical enough to play zone and help out in the run. You change defenses you have to change personnel. It is what it is. If you don't want to get rid of good players that only fit certain schemes then don't change defenses so often. Ragland could be next
