They had a chance to get Reuben Bain and passed. Can you imagine having Jared Verse AND Reuben Bain rushing the passer? I think they missed out on a big opportunity. So did the other teams that passed on Bain.

You’ll be apologizing when Ty Simpson takes Stafford’s job from him next year (probably by week 8).

Caused an unnecessary distraction during their closing window to win a Super Bowl.

McVay certainly didn’t make the pick

T-Rex armed Rueben Bain ain't beating NFL tackles consistently.

Their first two picks were a back up QB and a back up TE to go with the other 3 TE's they have including the one they drafted in the 2nd last year. Absolute stunning behavior from a team that was pretty solid last season.

There is a lot of talk that the saints planned to take Patrick Mahomes before the chiefs made a trade to jump ahead and take Mahomes.

Had the Saints taken Mahomes in 2017 it would have been blasted as wasting the last few years of the Brees window.

It would then be hailed as the greatest draft pick in Saints history.

I think the Rams took a look at the board from their spot and didn't think anyone on it would get them from a playoff loss to a Super Bowl win, so they took at shot at the future.

The Rams are already young and deep at LB / DE. Bain would have been a depth pick.

Mahomes was also a significantly better prospect coming out of college than Simpson

The Rams have been one of the most steady and well run organizations since McVay’s hiring. I think they’ll be fine

That's not happening.

What could happen is Stafford could get injured, or retire soon. If Simpson can play, the Rams would have eliminated a couple years of down seasons at minimum.

And Stafford is also significantly better at this point in his career than Alex Smith.

It just made no sense.

Yep. Ty Simpson would be a 3rd rounder next year. They took a guy that won’t help them this year with a team that has a 1 year window before losing lot of their key guys due to the cap
