    Easy way to respond to that, they won't do it! They have no 4th thru 6th rd picks so that is basically their whole draft and the top pick next year for Carson Wentz? No way. They can stay pat and draft Paxton Lynch.

    I would probably take that trade even without the 2017 first. You take care of the need at RT, get a quality player like a Ragland or Hargreaves at 15 and then have 3 2nd rd picks to work with.

    I would take our 1st for Rams 15th, 45th, 46th and Havenstein(Last years 2nd rd pick). They won't do that either.

    They have a sout defense, strong running game, all they need is a Quarterback. They very well could roll the dice on getting their Quarterback.

    Fisher ain't like that, nor is his GM. The way things have shaken out, they now have good options at #15 (I'm thinking either Goff or Wentz slides to them if Kaepernick stays in SF). I do think Denver will eventually trade for Kaepernick, Kelly will take a QB and the Rams will be happy with Paxton Lynch or Connor Cook. This is just one of those years where there is no Andrew Luck in the QB class and thus no real trade leverage to move out of No.1, unless the asking price is incredibly low.

    Reality is, unless the Titans suddenly jump on Okung, in FA (they could be waiting to drive down his market value...knowing they have a good option if someone snags him first), Tunsil is going to be the pick. And I'm happy with that. I think it will pay HUGE dividends, starting this very season. We will have effectively addressed the OL. Jones is a big upgrade at C, who can start at LG if needed. Poutasi will be a hoss at LG, IMO. He is massive and pretty athletic.

    Should be a night and day difference in our offense, this season.

    Look back at the best 10 years of draft history, and tell me how much of an impact the 1st offensive tackle has made on an NFL in helping them get to an NFL championship.

    The said truth is we still have a lot of positions to fill. We still need a LG, RT, CB, NT, FS minimum. We still need depth on the defensive line, outside linebackers, could upgrade in MLB position, and wide receiver. We need as many draft picks as we can get.

    You get some talk about a Rams trade sounding legitimate and all of a sudden you have a market for that #1 pick with CLE, DAL, and SF all getting interested in getting "their guy".

    Talk it up, talk it up, talk it up JR. Let them know its a "buyer's market" until trade day and then it becomes a "seller's market".

    I want a trade bad. We need multiple 1st round picks the next couple of years.

    I don't know about the last 10 years but we now that a LT is more important now than ever before. Orlando Pace helped a team win a super bowl. So did Jonathon Ogden. Other than QB there is no more important position and it is a position of longevity. .

    How many championships does Revis have? How many titles did Sean Taylor win? There are hall of fame RBs(Dickerson, Sanders) who never saw a super bowl.

    How is that a valid question?

    Taylor Lewan is a LT, which is not a position of need. So let's draft a RT #1 overall?

    How many sacks come from the left vs the right? Because it seems like defenses dont pick on LT's as much as other spots. JJ Watt kills our RT's every year because he knows he can..

    Being an Ohio State fan, Im skeptical of him as a pro. I am still honest in my evaluation of prospects. Elliot is great at all aspects. Bosa is the same. Darron Lee is another good one. The secondary prospects however are suspect ... IMO.
