2016 NFL Draft: Rams

850 315 Charlie the Unicorn

Fisher and Snead are pretty good at their jobs and nice human beings. But let’s not pretend they’re not willing to lie to the media about the idea of where they sit on the quarterback. Any half-decent GM or coach should be willing to spin up some half-truths, and the Rams front office is no different.

Just over a year ago the Rams were locked on Bradford as the quarterback of the future. At the combine, CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora reported the Rams were willing to let Bradford seek a trade. Fisher emphatically denied the report. Like, really emphatically.

And then they traded him for Nick Foles.

Keenum isn’t some franchise savior. The Rams could easily go out and find someone better. No someone capable of winning 23 percent of their games where the team gives up 25 or more points, but someone better.

And the place to find it? The draft. Thanks to how the Rams slow-played the market, either as a result of luck, accidental genius or a brilliant marketing strategy involving limited action in free agency, Los Angeles has an opportunity to pick up a prime quarterback prospect when things fall their way.
