This has been done before by Joe Gibbs and Bobby Beathard, they made very few 1st round picks while making regular Superbowl and playoff runs in the 80's. Redskin 1st rounders under Gibbs: When you look at the fail rate for 1st rounders it makes sense. The difference is the salary cap, we'll see how they maneuver that going forward. This is a very nice cherry pick now show us about 20 to 40 similar examples of this and your point is made.To me there is no evidence of a discernible trend where this is actually the case and works with great frequency. I believe it is quite rare, actually. Otherwise, I believe that the best way to build a team is through the draft.

WideNine Posted October 16, 2019 Posted October 16, 2019 He will like playing for Wade, and Wade will get the most out of him.

What I DON'T like, however, and what I fear is setting a dangerous precedent, is this notion that as soon as you decide you don't want to play for your current team for whatever reason, you just start acting like a jerk, refusing to show up for work, making a scene on social media, and creating a big distraction for your team. It worked for AB (I mean, for a minute at least), it worked for Ramsey, it worked for Minkah Fitzpatrick. Players are more and more willing to do whatever it takes to get traded, even if it means losing money and causing huge distractions to their teams. Owners, meanwhile, as you point out, seem more and more willing to oblige the players. I’m just fine with my team playing this differently. I was perfectly willing to let Bruce Smith sit out as soon as somebody signed a contract for more than he was making. He has the right to sit. I have the right to be somewhat disappointed, but back the team. That’s just how I’m wired. Somebody has to represent sanity in these situations. The fools are teams like the Rams. I’m glad I’m not a Rams fan today. 2

Happy Posted October 16, 2019 Posted October 16, 2019 What a dumb trade. The Rams have problems on OLine and still at LB. Now no first round picks for 2 years. They'll be battling Arizona for the basement of the NFC West.

BuffaloBills1998 Posted October 16, 2019 Posted October 16, 2019 The dumbest deal/trade I’ve ever seen maybe even more worse than the Hershel Walker trade between Minnesota and Dallas. Rams have no cap room next year and will not have a first round pick for the next 5 years, this GM should be fired. If I was Kronke I would fire him instantly. Bone headed move.

They just signed Goff, Donald, Gurley, and Cooks to big deals all within the last two years. They still have to come up with a long term contract for Ramsey...with $22M free cap space in 2020.
Bmbchiefs66 Posted October 16, 2019 Posted October 16, 2019 Ramsey in 3 games this year targeted 22 times allowing 15 completions for 147 yards 1 td and a 101.9 passer rating.

Do you really have to wonder if they thought of it? Do you think they just up and forgot about the cap? Or at the end of the year do they give him a high signing bonus contract pushing the hit down the line with plans of Gurley coming off the books sooner rather than later and Goffs cap hit to drop while the cap continues to rise?
bbb Posted October 16, 2019 Posted October 16, 2019 Things seem to have really changed lately. Lots of first round picks flying around the last two years or so. For quite awhile, they were never traded.

keepthefaith Posted October 16, 2019 Posted October 16, 2019 More evidence along with some of the horrific long term contracts that NFL owners are not smart when it comes to football.

It's a premier position, arguably worth even more than a top edge rusher. That's worth 2 firsts. There were apparently multiple teams willing to give that up for him. I'd never want to trade 2 firsts for that pain in the ass. Never. Or any CB for that matter.
