Probably a little late but interesting first round of NFL Draft. What were the Rams thinking? And I just have this sneaking

Posted by Capstern Apr 27 '12, 10:50

suspicion that somehow the Browns will somehow end up looking brilliant. If they pick up a top flight WR next they could have enough weapons to make the QB look awesome.

I suspect Luck will spend his season laying on his back

Responses:

McShay just explained it, pretty well. They rolled the dice, by moving back, twice. Twice got burned by the WR they wanted being taken 1 pick, before -- nm - flavorize Apr 27, 10:54 2
- We should keep in mind that's ESPN speculation. It wouldn't surprise me if Jeff Fisher wanted d-line at the top. - David Apr 27, 10:59
- Yeah rams have that kind of luck but man there were better options -- nm - Capstern Apr 27, 10:56
the 29-year old QB who has never taken a snap in the NFL - pixitude Apr 27, 10:53 13
- I find the age to not be an issues that just speaks to longevity. And with the new rookie salary things thats so much less a risk financially - Capstern Apr 27, 10:56 12
  - They should have traded down to get him. No toher team would have even looked at him for another dozen or so picks, if even then. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 27, 11:05 3
    - They are in fact the team that was unlucky because they wanted to take Kendall Wright at 22. With him off the board, they panicked and reached. -- nm - David Apr 27, 11:06 2
      - Like I meantioned last night, talking to Bob Lung (big Browns fan) and he was speechless they took him. - Iron Spawn Apr 27, 11:22 1
        
        He's fine as a late second/early third. Picking him at #22 and trading away the competition is car-razy. -- nm - David Apr 27, 11:24
  - The last three older QBs who went in the draft were Drew Henson, Chad Hutchinson and Chris Weinke. In the NFL, age is not in fact nothin but a number -- nm - David Apr 27, 11:01 5
    - I always hate these comparissions. Each person is differnt from the other - past performance is very unlikely to dictate future results - Capstern Apr 27, 11:02 4
      - Alternately, those who don't learn from history... -- nm - David Apr 27, 11:04 3
        
        Yes but each situation is unique (53 players), coach, team, opponents, systems, etc - Capstern Apr 27, 11:14 1
        
        Systems are unique. What is not is player behavior. QBs in particular need time to acclimate. - David Apr 27, 11:17

  - i don't think anyone in the AFC North is worried that Brandon Wheedon is going to beat them with his arm - pixitude Apr 27, 10:58 1
    - This will come down to if the RB is the stud everyone thinks he is and - Capstern Apr 27, 11:03
They were thinking they'd like to get four starters in the top 50 picks and they are almost certain to do so. -- nm - David Apr 27, 10:51 1
- Shoot at this rate, they'll have an entire new team in 2-3 years. -- nm - MDH Apr 27, 10:53
