MDC 5,804 Posted October 16, 2019 Eagles fans are ready to jump off a bridge, but Philly has way more issues than just corner. At that price LA can have him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kanil 519 Posted October 16, 2019 They got a bit of that back by trading Peters. Rams are in win now mode with a short window before their cap situation destroys them. Time to go big! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They got less value from Peters and overpaid for Ramsey. I think that they are panicking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cruzer 1,992 Posted October 16, 2019 WTF?!? Has a non-QB ever gotten that kind of return on a trade? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think that they are panicking. Peters was playing like garbage and had a big price tag and they were hurting at LB. Moving Peters allowed them to be able to afford upgrading to Ramsey. Look for him to get a payday (which means Talib is probably gone after this year). This puts them in a much better position going forward than being stuck with a CB that is way underperforming his contract (thus far at least). Once Talib is healthy again, look for this D to be a TON better than they have been. Wade Phillips with two lockdown corners is a monster and I think the Rams are a significantly better team than they were a week ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vuduchile 1,940 Posted October 16, 2019 The Bears gave up 2 firsts, a third and a 6th for Mack, so it's not unheard of to pay that kind of price for an impact defensive player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vuduchile 1,940 Posted October 16, 2019 Anyway, bird in the hand I guess. First round picks only have a 53% success rate. They know they're getting a top NFL corner in Ramsey. Still seems like a lot for him though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, they need to get something going with the offense too. Giving up 2 first rounders for Ramsey and only getting a LB and a conditional pick for Peters (who is still thought of well in the league) was not a good haul.

They are definitely mortgaging their future to win now. They're window is definitely now and will be gone in 2 or so years. It's smart in some ways as they are currently trying to ensure they're the #1 team in LA. Win early, build the fan base now rather than sucking like the Chargers and having 4 fans at the game.
