I personally feel if a top pass rusher is signed I'd love to trade back to a QB hungry team and take a WR like Harry or Brown, Time for a young WR with game changing potential, then round 2 or even trade up into the late 1st for another pass rusher..this is only if a pass rusher is signed of course..

Without question go heavy on pass rusher....Fowler isn't some proven super star. Talent is there.

They could move down, get picks and still go edge and I'd be more than fine with it. Enough messing around. I think there's plenty of WRs to choose from outside if the 1st and in FA.

This. I want actual depth next season at the edge. Not a bunch of guys playing out of position on third down.
Move Solomon inside on passing downs permanently and see with a off-season of preparation there if he can find his old mojo back. Then bring in a couple guys that can bend and actually rush the QB from the edge on the money downs.

Has Fowler's name come up at all in the Jacksonville media regarding a trade recently?

I've seen it just in trade scenario articles...makes too much sense to happen I guess

Jags aren't trading Fowler imo. If we want him we're going to have to beat out other teams in FA.

That's dumb of the jags to not trade him. Why get nothing when you can trade and get a draft pick for him?

They might believe that they'll get better compensation for him from FA than from a trade. If they can only secure a 2019 5th rounder or later, they might decide to let the season play out and see if his FA contract rewards them with a 2020 3rd.

IDK, that's all that would make sense to me. I can't imagine they are keeping him around for a playoff run.

The Rams are contenders bud, we are not. How does that not make sense?

Assuming Rams are just renting him I'd have to see how much Fowler signs for before I'd take Bosa. You can't be having 10+ million dollar backups.

Could potentially play LE in sub packages which would mean he plays at least 60% of the snaps if not more with Bosa as your 3 down LEO.

ANOTHER great signing by the RAMS.. tho they play different position, Fowler in year 2 should be the equal of Suh if he decides to leave..

Depends on how much Solly plays where but I'd hate to sign him just for him to be in the same place as he was in Jax.

Given the age of some key defensive players (Suh & Talib) along with Andrew Whitworth and John Sullivan, (the two most important components of the OL) the Rams have a very short window to win the Super Bowl. In fact, their window may even begin closing after this season. Les Snead knows that better than anyone and he is making his move to get rings for the team. Hence, giving up two future draft picks for a guy who will help them win this season makes sense for the Rams.

The 49ers, OTOH, need more than just one player with a questionable history and production that has fallen far short of his draft status.

Lynch made the correct move by not giving up that kind of draft capital for Fowler.

People on this board have that Madden Mentality. This next draft is loaded with pass rushers. Plus they can sign another one via free agency.

Exactly. Andrew Whitworth is going to be 37 years old next month. How much longer can this old fart keep going?

Sullivan is only a year younger and had to be convinced to stay another year. His physical ability is dwindling. He keeps his job because he is so good at calling protection.
