I would have traded with a team not Seattle if I wanted Murphy that much….

Terrible strategy by the Rams…”let’s see if our division rivals is willing to trade picks with us…”

Especially when Seattle knows the Rams are looking for a successor to Aaron Donald….

From what I've read/heard a LOT of teams wanted Byron Murphy.

The Rams wanted Howell and Murphy. We got them both. Suck it, Rams.

They probably tried to trade ahead of us first.

I have no doubt that Murphy was #1 for them. I'm glad we kinda screwed with their plans a bit, but unfortunately for us, they're not dumb. They're going with the committee approach to replicate Donald's production, getting Verse, Fiske, and Jackson, on top of having Young and Turner. They still have a very potent pass rush.

Aw, darn, I was hoping!

They get a lot easier to block when you don't have to double Donald.

A lot of teams wanted Byron Murphy, but Byron Murphy only wanted young Macdonald, no one else.

The list gets longer and longer.

So far the Rams were trying to trade up for Brock Bowers, Bo Nix, Rome Odunze and now Byron Muprhy II according to media draftniks.

Meanwhile, the Rams beat writer Jourdan Rodrigue states that the Rams didn't make one call after the first 10 selections came off the board.

Wonder if the only thing Rams GM Snead heard when calling other teams during the draft, as soon as he identified himself, was... "click" followed by whatever today's version of a dial tone is.

It's nice to think the Rams wanted to trade up for Murphy. I have a friend, who is a Rams fan, and he wanted them to trade up for Penix, which makes more sense than Murphy. The Rams targeted Fiske, whom was the best pass rushing DT in the draft. The Rams defensive line is still going to be a problem if we try throwing on them.

I heard the Rams wanted Dee Esridge too.

Is that you Pete?

 

[toffee]

Is that you Pete?

I sure won't mind Carroll's assets and bank account, not sure about his crooked nose.

 

[jammerhawk]

I heard the Rams wanted Dee Esridge too.

Wonder if they’d still want him after he less than stellar availability here?

A bag of Doritos maybe is all he’d return on that wasted 2nd rd. Pick

Owen Wilson..........but older.

Owen Wilson..........but older.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Yup, the Pete nose

 

[Maulbert]

This is more believable than the claim that JS wanted Penix.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

You don't know that he didn't want Penix. None of us do.
Rams probably DID want Murphy. He's a fricken beast. And the Hawks or another team trying to trade up for Penix isn't some crazy notion. Him and his team has one bad game and all the sudden he's Dan McGwire
