How awful do the Rams have to feel? They lose out on the stud running back, stud left tackle, and stud QB only to end up getting a defensive player.

So essentially, if you want a guy you gotta trade up to get him. Teams not taking any risks, kind of like it. It's like Pritchard took over the NFL draft.

While that may be the case, they received a ton of value for that pick. Will probably work out for them next year.

Not awful at all because Claiborne is a good CB in a division with Larry Fitz and Michael Crabtree

They've got like 3 picks in the top 40. One will be used on the defensive side of the ball, fine, but their issue is offensive line issues and a lack of offense. Doug Martin isn't going to help any.

Hindsight is 20/20, but the Rams probably should have stayed put and gotten RG 3.

Dallas traded to 6. Barron? TB gets who they want with 7 and gets Claiborne!

While I agree, they're pretty much tied to Bradford right now. I'm sure Jeff Fisher is pissed but he'll make the best of it.

ESPN is saying Dallas picking 6th, is that a glitch or did I miss a trade?

Dal trades 1st and 2nd to STL to move up and get Mark Barron (I assume). To paraphrase Gob Bluth, They've made a HUGE mistake.

I guess we're going to see a lot of trades this year.

Seems like Dallas overpaid out of fear.

Schefter says the Cowboys gave up their 2nd. What a way to do it, Rams.

:lol:

If that's the case, I hope TB had someone else in mind or they gave up their guy for a 3rd or 4th round pick (whatever 101 is).
