Reply to "Official 2016 NFL Draft Thread"

The Rams drafted four offensive linemen last year and with Robinson probably feel that they've invested all they need to in this unit for now (which is debatable as Robinson hasn't been good as pointed out by GD).  They have Gurley who is a stud.  So they trade it all to add the QB but they don't have much in a pass-catching department.  Britt is a solid player but only good for about 40 catches a year.  Austin is a nice player to have but he's a gadget player and just isn't a real threat as a pass-catcher.  This team looked like it was on the right track to build a solid power-run-offense and if they would have used this and next year's draft to add to the defense...I think that would have been a much better strategy.  Going all in on the QB when the defense was bottom 10 last year and there isn't much for pass-catchers on the roster just doesn't seem to make much sense.

Only bad thing from the Titans perspective is that it sure sucks to have moved down that far.  A chance to take whoever is graded the #1 player on the board and at #15 the top three tiers of the board are probably gone.  I think they'll move back up and target Ronnie Stanley or Jack Conklin.  It would be odd to see the Eagles move back down after having moved up.  But if the Eagles moved up to 8 with the intention of moving up even further for a QB...after seeing the price for that it might make more sense for them to bail out of there and move back down.  Stanley could very well be gone at 8 but Conklin will be there.  If they could work a trade with the Eagles they could give up #15, #45 and #193 and get back #8 and #100.  Then they could draft the tackle to protect their franchise QB and still have #33, #43, #64, #76, #100 and a couple more picks in this draft and those extra picks in next year's draft.  Makes sense for them to move back up.
