Wow, for a CB and a 2nd round pick. Dirt cheap even though he's been injured thus far.

 

[DFWJC]

Bill s traded for Jordan Matthews
also drafted Zay Jones
also now have Boldin


a starting CB plus a 2nd round pick from a bad team (which mean almost a 1st rounder) is not bad for a very good WR who struggles to stay on the field


btw, this should help LA a lot. they really needed some WRs.
Now they've added
Watson
Wood
Cooper Krupp

We should have given them Carroll and a 2nd round pick for Watkins - what a nice pick-up for the Rams.

Our 2nd rounder could be closer an early 3rd while theirs is closer to a late first...so big difference.


I really think we like our WR group. If they were to give up very valuable future assets, it'd be for another position.

Watkins was so good in college. I know looking back it is easy to say that OBJ and Evans are the much better pros, but during the draft I thought Watkins was a surefire stud. The move up by Buffalo was a little odd considering the team they had.

I wonder if getting to a warmer climate will help Watkins out. Time will tell if Goff is any better than the Buffalo QB. Although the Rams desperately needed playmakers at receiver. I think their line is a question mark but they are at least getting some skilled playmakers around Goff.

Can we make that trade or similar for a RB? I feel like 6 games is just the beginning on games Zeke will miss in the next few years.
Who would be available ?

The Bills, to some degree, telegraphed their long term plans for Watkins when the declined to assume his 5th year option this offseason.

I doubt he ever gets suspended again.

Nice trade by the Bills, Watkins is always hurt, Rams are stupid for trading for Watkins...

 

[BobGriffin3]

Good move by the Bills. I doubt we will ever see a healthy Watkins again for long term. Let the Rams pay him top dollar in LA to play 3 games a season. Next move is trying to move Shady for something decent.

 

[MrPeanutbutter]

When you saw Watkins and Hopkins at Clemson, no one thought Hopkins would wind up being the better player.

 

[Sarge]

Poor Watkins. Can't stay healthy and can't land on a team that throws the damn ball. A waste of talent on multiple levels.

And people say trades don't happen. Let's get creative and get a DE in here.

McFadden and Morris are available

My thoughts exactly. Going from TT to goff. He is losing the NFL lottery. I would like for once to see what he could do with an acceptable quarterback. he seemed like the real deal coming out college

 

[Silver Surfer]

Can't stay on the field and meanwhile is worried about how much NFL players make compared to NBA players. Like JFF and RG3 before him, I think Sammy's gotten a little ahead of himself. He needs to perform well, regularly. He's blown his chance in Buffalo, maybe he'll get it right in L.A.
