They thought about tagging a guy who played 15 games and caught 39 passes?

If that was an actual thought, the GM should be flogged in public.

Responses:

or, said another way, Rams gave up a 2nd round pick & a marginal starting DB for a 1-year rental WR. -- nm* - Strongbad Mar 6, 11:01 14
- Thankfully, they were smart enough to not pay him the average of the top 5 players at his position - Will Hunting Mar 6, 11:04 13
  - Let's see who they pick up in FA or the Draft then, because Woods isn't a #1 and Kupp is nothing more than a good/great slot WR. -- nm* - Strongbad Mar 6, 11:08 11
    - The worst thing you can do in a fixed cap world is put too much money to guys who aren't worthy - Will Hunting Mar 6, 11:39 9
      - If Kupp turns into a solid #1 WR, it's a good decision. - Strongbad Mar 6, 11:42 4
        
        You are paying a guy who caught less than 40 yards per game, top 5 money. There's not a single logic thread that makes that work. - Will Hunting Mar 6, 11:53
        
        Why do you see Watkins as employable, much less a top 20-25 guy? - David Mar 6, 11:44 2
        
        WR's that I would take Sammy Watkins over - Strongbad Mar 6, 12:05 1
        
        Every player listed had 25% more yards per game than Watkins in 2017; several had 50% more ypg than him. -- nm* - Will Hunting Mar 6, 12:11
      - PFF had Watkins as the #41 receiver. Kupp was #20...as a rookie. -- nm - David Mar 6, 11:41 3
        
        and IIRC PFF had ranked Devonta Freeman as the worst RB in the NFL his rookie season. - Strongbad Mar 6, 11:56 1
        
        1) No. Steven Jackson was the starter that year. 2) You don't have to care about how scouts grade game film, but it's weird that you don't. - David Mar 6, 12:11
        
        And if they're not that high on him ... - Will Hunting Mar 6, 11:43
    - Kupp is better right now at this second than Watkins has ever been in his career. - David Mar 6, 11:33
  - Speaking of stupid, Cousins is going to be stupid rich pretty soon, probably in Denver. -- nm - Shaun Mar 6, 11:07
