Les Snead traded all his picks, won a SB, and rebuilt the entire team into a powerhouse in 2025.

Oh yea, the Rams have two first round picks in 2026 including a top 10 pick from Atlanta as it stands...

A huge reason for that is they hit on their recent defensive line draft picks. Byron Young and Jared Verse stand out there, but Turner and Fiske haven't done bad either. We tried to employ that same strategy this past offseason but so far it hasn't worked out as well. Mykel shows great promise as a base down run defender. Collins looks like another base down run defender. We'll see what happens with those two I guess.

In short the Rams FO is better than ours. Even with limited picks they draft better than we do. They also went out and got HOF qb while we roll out Jimmy G, Lance and Purdy.

So that's a flawed roster? Having a top QB who is playing like an MVP, a top 5 WR, a fantastic D line is nothing? Oh yea, this is on the heels of a SB win in 2021-22. They also have 2 good young RBs, 3 good TEs, a decent O line and a playmaker at safety.

They are a good team with a good roster.

And like I said, they are getting better - they have 2 first round picks next year.

Has there ever been a weirder situation with 3 players like Purdy, BA, and Pearsall? We're all just living week by week hoping and praying they come back soon. Every week when someone ask what their status is and if they're coming back John and Kyle are like

Yet our team was able to beat that team when we had Warner.

Never said they weren't a good team. But they wouldn't be a good team minus Stafford Davante Puka and Verse.

I don't know why people are expecting BA back. He literally f**ked up his whole leg. It was unrealistic he was playing this season. It wasn't just an ACL.

I mean we're fans and we were given some timelines about a year ago. It initially was week 6, then pushed to 8, then week 10. So that's why

He rebuilt his d line and hit on a wr. It's a flawed roster propped up by a top qb and d line.

Didn't need to make a big splash at the deadline. But needed to do something and give up a 3rd- 4th for someone that can press the QB.

Guys looked defeated from the go. At the very least it sends a message to the locker room that they're trying even if they're not.

My god, Keion White was being punk by the Tight End pass blocking. Guy is better on the interior.

I recall week 6 being the most optimistic window. I never believed that. Thanksgiving was the window I expected to be in play based on the extent and severity of his injuries and my own somewhat limited knowledge of sports med.

The 49ers have picked 3 safeties in the first 5 rounds of the draft in the last 3 drafts. And they may not have unearthed one starter from that group. If so, that's a real failure of the personnel department.#FTTB
