Rather not make a move then make the wrong one

I wish we had a GM that had the confidence to make moves rather than being too scared to act out of fear of making the wrong move.

His QB is Jared Goff.

This. It will be the first time in Cooks career he's not catching passes from a guaranteed HOFer.

Cooks, like smaller receivers, need good timing throw from his qb. If the throw is somewhat late, he will get KTFO.

Lookout! 👀 It's Colbert!

I agree. Time doesn't stop when you have a franchise QB. You have to make moves to get play-makers and John Lynch isn't doing that.

The trade does appear to be pretty shortsighted and probably foolish ....but let's not try to sit here and start bashing Cooks as some bum. He's a damn good WR

Could've sworn Lynch just signed McKinnon and Richburg, but I guess those moves aren't good enough for you guys.

Man I wish Lynch would sign and trade for EVERYONE. He doesn't know WTF he's doing. It works in Madden.

There going to have to pay more than KC paid for Watkins to re-sign Cooks. He's a good player though. Extremely difficult Wr to cover because of how much separation he gets with his speed.

Yep. You can talk about future cap implications(which I think are overblown and won't hit them for another couple years)...but there's no doubt the Rams have added some serious talent this offseason. They're set to go all-in these next 2 years. Which is the right thing to do if you have a starting QB on a rookie contract.

f**k ME! Brooks is Legit. Smart move by the Rams.. instead of investing in IR Odel (I hope we don't). With Brooks they get to see him for one season in their offense... then decide if they want to give him a big contract.

edit- Thank God our Colbert is fast.

That's what I was saying. Cooks is good. 14th in the receiving yards since entering the league. He's young, fast and productive. Coming off 2 1,000 yard seasons.

They have to work the cap situation out, but this was a trade they needed after losing watkins. They need a speed guy to stretch the defense on PA plays. He will do that

Give him a big contract along Donald, peters, Goff, Gurley, Joyner good luck with that. They better win the sb in the next 2 years

A few mid-tier players isn't going to put us over the top. We just signed a player to the biggest contract ever awarded to an NFL player and yet have been mostly content to surround him with the same s**tty players that were well on their way to going 1-15 last year.
