What if he and Goff are there at 15?

Trade down?

No way! Take one and dance all the way to the podium.

Yes! I think Lynch might just become the better pro. Certainly fits our current "offense".

I definitely like the upside that Lynch presents but it's hard to pass on the pro that I think Goff will be even as a rookie.

I wonder what the probability is that at least one of the top 3 QBs will be there at #15?

Snead will have to make a decision after the 2nd QB goes off the board.

Assuming, of course, he ranks the qbs the way being put forward here.

For all we know...they don't.

And ranking itself isnt' even the only issue. It's value too. Do the Rams put the same value on these qbs? So for example, do the Rams believe trading up is good value for these particular players?

I know pundits tend to, but then, not all teams rank and value these players the same way, and teams sure don't always agree with the pundits.

The biggest issue involves getting it right. If you trade up in the first round and draft a QB, you'd better get it right, cause you are putting all those fragile eggs in one basket.

Historically, trading up for a QB in the top of the first round hasn't been kind to GMs.

There are things Lynch could do that all the other QB's in this years draft simply can't do.

Roll to the left and throw a 70 yard bomb on target, through 40mph winds across his body. That's not normal.

How can anyone not like Lynch? Pound for pound he's the best prospect. He has the highest ceiling of them all. He's an absolute freak.

I am good with Lynch as well - insane upside, arm strength, and athleticism. Better accuracy than Cook. I agree that you could ease him into the lineup depending on his progress through camp and design the passing game around his current strengths then slowly add more and more NFL concepts. We will run the ball over 55% of the time is my guess and that will certainly help him.

IMO? If they draft Lynch (and I would be fine with that) he's not starting the season, under any conditions. He MIGHT go in later during the season, assuming Mannion isn't the #2.

He's a project still struggling with basic pro-style footwork and without the detailed knowledge of defenses you need.

He might not even see the field until 2017.

And you know, if they did take him and it did go like that, I for one would be fine with that too.

I'm fine with any of these QBs.

One thing I've learned is I don't know squat about who is gonna be a sustainable QB and who is gonna be a bust.

All I know is Snead better get this right or his career as a GM in LA is over.

I agree, and I don't. We don't know how quickly he can develop the fundamental tools to play QB in the NFL. Furthermore, as I referenced, if the Rams are smart they taylor the passing game to his strengths. Will it be a limited passing attack? Yes. But, with a run heavy team that might not be as big a problem as it would be for other teams. I am cool with drafting him at 15 or trading up a bit if necessary. I am also cool with him riding the pine all season if need be. But, I think he would be ready sooner than later.
