Can we trade for a WR1?

My god.  Defense is the only functional unit on this team.  A single WR, much less one a team is willing to part with is not going to solve the offensive issues.  We just need to play some game managing ball like Atlanta is doing with Ridder and let our defense give us a chance.  Give Bryce & Co time to get better.  Trading away players from our defense is NOT the answer at all.

If only we had a generational running back that we picked 8th overall that would take some pressure off the qb

That guy is injury prone. Rams force fed him for 2 straight years. He's probably seen his best days. 

That plus he is just a better version of Thielen.  A slot possession WR who is good at finding holes in the defense.  Kupp just plays for one of the best offensive minds in the game.  Oh and we have his former assistant (Thomas Brown) but refuse to let him call plays....

Novel thought but instead of looking for a 1, why not try and find a few guys that can actually get separation. I don't care if they came from FugRhule U. The leading receiver in the NFL right now was a 5th round comp pick nobody. Surely there's a few guys out there available that can actually get a step on someone. How can they be worse than what we're seeing right now?

And keep CMC and Moore for Young. Hindsight is always 20/20, but it sure seems like most of the realistic fans have better ideas than what the team actually does. Oh, but we can’t play GM.

Here’s one to gnaw on, the trade value we gave up and used to draft Corral and DJ Johnson is almost the same as the trade value we got for CMC. We gave up more to get Darnold than we got for CMC. We gave up about half the trade value we got for CMC to get CJ Henderson.

Fitterer has really put this team in a bad situation

Trade for Cooper Kupp - he’s a #1 and the Rams need cap space.  They have 2 guys that have stepped up in Kupps absence.

That's because Kupp is a system wr that has begun the injury stage of his career. If anything, i would try for Puka Nacua, but the Rams aren't stupid.  It would make perfect sense for Fitterer to make the Kupp trade because he is an idiot. We traded down to take Jonathan Mingo who never got any separation at Ole Miss (go look at his college highlights) and won't get any separation now. Pretty tough to step up to the NFL speed when you have no one that can create space. This wr bunch would be taxing on a vet let alone a rookie.

    • I love when people go after his YAC ability as if he wasn't 5th in the Big 12 this past season in YAC, because he was. And you can say his style of YAC doesn't mesh with this type of game, but that on its face is just nonsense, because if he's good enough to be 5th in a major conference, it clearly meshes well with his game. The reason you say it doesn't, is because you think all he is good at is making contested catches because of his radius, but because you haven't watched enough of his full tape, you don't realize that he's consistently used in the screen and short slant game to get the ball in his hands because he actually is a solid YAC guy because he's surprisingly agile for a player of his size.   No, he's no Tyreek, but he has more than enough wiggle to his game that you combine it with everything he does at an elite level because of his size, and it makes for a guy who is going to be a consistent 1k yard and 10+ TD player.  He can be the true outside #1 that we need, but he's also versatile enough to be moved into the slot at times to scheme the ball into his hands against smaller nickel corners or slower linebackers. He's a slightly less physical Mike Evans but with more agility, my comp was always AJ Green.  He's going to be an elite #1 WR in this league for the next decade, if he's there and we pass on him to trade down for another WR, we will regret it for a long time.
    • Here is my theory--The Giants are not 100% happy with their pass rush--15 sacks combined between Thib (6) and Burns (9).  In 2026, The Giants will have to make a choice about Thib.  They would then have 2 Edge rushers on second contracts--probably costing around $65m for both.  Many teams want edge players; draft Carter and trade Thib.  Carter's second contract would be due when Burns' contract expires.  In essence, the Giants would have better Edge rushers at a cost of about $40m.  You could probably get a high draft pick for Thib and save $25m. All that to say, "I don't think they are set at edge yet."
    • I think we should, start new for the playoffs if everyone’s game.
