If you could go back and change one past draft decision, what would you change.

Before you answer, here are the rules to the game: pick a player we drafted and replace them with another player who (1) plays the same position, and (2) was taken in the same draft after the guy the Rams selected.

Here's mine:

Rams select DeAndre Hopkins instead of Tavon Austin in 2013 NFL draft.

I'm not sure re-drafting offensive players taken by Fisher would make much difference.

I'm of the opinion pretty much anyone would fail in his Rams offense...

'96 - taking Lawrence Phillips at #6. Eddie George went #14 to Houston. Painful.

To answer the question as written, I take Dan Fouts instead of Ron Jaworski in 1973. I remember very well being upset over passing on Fouts in the 2nd round and taking Jaws. Fouts went in the next round.

But more pertinent to today’s regime, I’d take Kittle over Everett.

Wentz over Goff. (hook baited)

How about Eddie Kennison 1 pick in front of Marvin Harrison. (Yikes)

Dan Fouts on the late 70's Rams? That would have been different!

Go Rams!

Taking Lawrence Phillips and sending Bettis packing was just horrific.

What if Fisher did take Wentz, he might have been better than Goff his rookie year and saved Fisher’s job and we would still have Fisher as the HC and be in 7-9 hell.

Aside from that brief nightmare alternate history, I still believe Goff will have the better career of the two.

I remember Mel Kiper chastising the Rams over that one. Saying Kennison had speed and nothing else while Harrison was much more refined as a receiver. Gotta Kiper credit. He was right. Imagine Harrison and Bruce together? Although would they have drafted Holt if they had Harrison? Imagine if they had all 3?
