Combine Press Conference

Well we have no first round pick now.  Are we really a passrusher away from being upper echelon?  We can stop teams and our ol will make the offense fizzle.  Smart.

My initial impressions of the Crosby deal are pretty negative. We gave up two first round picks for him when we are in dire need of offensive linemen and defensive tackles. Seems like more than a stretch...more like a leap off a cliff in the night.

Exactly

Not sure I like this move, hate giving up that much plus the salary cap space.

Sure, the Rams have made their hay with no 1st round picks for the past few years, but they draft well.

The past few years this team has not drafted too well. Does this move mean Lamar is signing an extension? Has the front office changed their minds on building through the draft?

So many unrestricted free agents on this team, so many holes to fill, so little cap space.

The more I think about this the more I hate it. Hendrickson could have been had as a 2 year rental, maybe three. Sure he is older than Crosby, but just as productive.

He may have cost a bit more, a bidding war with another team, but at least you had 2 of your best draft positions.

This team has been notoriously bad at drafting in the 2nd. So now that defaults to their "best" draft position for the next 2 years.

Sure, they might be able to swing trades and move back up into the low first, but how likely is that and how much draft capital will it cost?

I’m definitely there. Fire Eric de caca.
