Poach a Player from each Western Rival

[AvengerRam]

If you could poach one player from each NFC West team, which three would you take?

Mine (as a Rams fan) would be the following:

Seahawks: Earl Thomas. I considered going with Richard Sherman but, while the Rams are fairly strong at CB, safety is a position of concern. Thomas would be a huge upgrade, and is probably a player who has not peaked yet.

Cardinals: Larry Fitzgerald: Even though he has a few miles on him, I think Fitzgerald is still potentially a top 10 WR.

Niners: Mike Iupati: With Harvey Dahl getting up there in years, and the other OG spot unsettled, Iupati would be a great solidifying force on the O line.

Rams: Michael Brockers. Would love to have him as part of our interior D-line.

Cardinals: Calais Campbell. More D-line!

49ers: Colin Kaepernick. I wouldn't actually have him doing anything on our team other than holding a clipboard, but taking leaves the 49ers with garbage at the QB spot, and that's a win.

As a Rams fan, you would be a fool to NOT pick Russell Wilson

I disagree.

Now, would you care to answer the question?

Are we talking for this year...or future as well?

If just for this year

Rams - Long

Cardinals - Fitzgerald

Niners - Justin Smith

Because that might help make the thread appropriate for the official Seahawks forum, for one. I would more bet on this topic getting moved more than you would agree with a Seahawks fan on Wilson. Fun topic of discussion, though, I guess, at least for some. I thought it would be easy to make choices, but there's a lot of talent in the NFC West and it would depend on the strategy.

The question that has been asked 3 or 4 times already this offseason?

Obviously, I don't hang around here enough to be aware of prior threads that posed the same question.

Since some of you seem to be missing the point here, let me be clear.

I started this thread because I was curious what you think of the players on the other West teams' rosters (particularly, the Rams). I did not do so to engage in yet another debate about Russell Wilson and/or Sam Bradford, nor did I do so to clog your board with repetitive threads.

For those of you trying to turn this into a smack battle... do you really want to act like Whiner fans? I thought you were better than that.

Rams: Jake Long

49ers: Aldon Smith

[Erebus]

Rams: Chris Long
49ers: Mike Iupati
Cardinals: Darnell Dockett

Rams: Chris Long

49ers: Justin Smith

Cards: Fitzgerald

 

[kobebryant]

To handicap the rivals: Bradford, Kapernick, Fitzgerald

To make the Hawks better: Iupati, Brockers, Peterson

 

[Sac]

Cards: Campbell

Rams: Brockers

49ers: Vernon Davis

 

[smashmouth59]

Rams- Brockers
Cards- Cooper
9ers- Willis

 

[SDHawk]

Zona: Larry Fitzgerald
9ers: Vernon Davis
Rams: Chris Long

 

[BlueTalon]

Jake Long
Navarro Bowman
Calias Campbell

Rams: Chris Long
49ers: Mike Iupati
Cardinals: Darnell Dockett

Wait, which Long is the DE? That's the one I want.

And I think I'll change my answer to Dockett as well. Or at least make it a coin flip.

 

[AvengerRam]

Chris is the DE, Jake is the OT.

 

[Hawks46]

Man this is tough, but for the Rams....

If you held a gun to my head, Brockers. we need more interior pass rush, but it would be a coin flip with Chris Long

Niners: Vernon Davis. Coin flip with Iupati...neither is a position of real need, with both being decent upgrades.

Cards: If I went Chris Long, then I'd go with Dockett here. If I went with Brockers, then I'd go Fitzgerald.

I'm loving the answers about Kaepernick. Taking him would handicap the Niners something fierce and would work for me.

 

[Throwdown]

Niners: Iupati
Cardinals: Campbell
Rams: Jenkins
