Is Jalen Ramsey worth 2 first round picks?

[floki]

Peters was traded, the Rams' Jalen Ramsey watch is now.

Talib to IR. Peters traded to Ravens.

Leaves them with Nickell Robey-Coleman (slot), 2018 UDFA Darious Williams and 2019 3rd rounder David Long

[cankid]

I would say no but if there is a bidding war well i guess anything is possible

[jts1207]

Nope.....Mack yes....

[Mr KLC]

Read somewhere that a team offered it, and then the Jaguars upped the price from that.

[Mr KLC]

Sources: Jaguars CB Jalen Ramsey is in the process of being traded to the Rams. A situation resolved and a big addition for LA. - Ian Rapporport

[funnyb25]

It's done. Crazy terms.

I see no reason he wouldn't seeing as the back injury is probably all bogus. Bad news for my over 54 bet

[SBR Drew]

Nobody is worth that price. Absolutely amazing this is on the table. Let alone to the Rams who going backwards.

[Yulia74]

ramsey hated the fact that bortles was coddled in jacksonville

they're now teammates again

Yep, it's a buyers market.
If you're in the market for a lockdown cornerback, not just any cornerback the games premier CB than you do what you have to do even if that means overspending some.
My opinion of Ramsey off of just a few interviews and listening to a few folks that knew him from FSU is that he's a good kid, his beef wasn't cash, he's not a prima donna, he just wants to play on a contender and he thought Jax either wasn't doing enough to win or just wasn't all that committed to winning. I'm cool with Ramsey.

[ChiLLx]

This is a horrendous trade for the Rams franchise. GM is incompetent

[DwightShrute]

CB Jalen Ramsey is being traded to the LA Rams for two first-round picks in 2020 and 2021 and a fourth-round pick in 2021, source tells ESPN.

[EmpireMaker]

Not worth 2 first rounders

[stevenash]

Wow ramseyyy a ram

Probably.

Can you say Matty Ice to Ridley?
Can you say Matty Ice to Sanu?
Can you say Matty Ice to Hooper?

If it is Ramsey on JJ, Jones is such a professional, such a class act he wouldn't mind if he sees five fewer targets than usual.

[Hman]

As a Bucs fan who saw us give up a fortune to the Jets for CB Darrelle Revis who gave us virtually nothing while here, I'd say no, 2 first rounders is absurd

Let's not compare Revis island to Ramsey

[funnyb25]

Lol

[Hman]

??

Not comparing players.

Comparing giving up the kitchen sink for a CB who may not even perform as well on a different team.

[Unrivaled]

Can Ramsey fix the oline? I

[Mr KLC]

If the Rams offense keeps playing the way they are, not only will there potentially be a lot of 14-10 games, but the Jaguars might get at least one middle of the first round pick out of this.

[rm18]

Pre injury they were like the same player but Revis was never the same after.

[ThaTopMoron]

stupid fukkn Rams helping out the Jags... absurd

hope they end the season with 6 wins

[pinnacle420]

I would say yes... and the reason being is he makes their lowly secondary much better now instead of 2 1st rounders for the future.... they are trying to save this season

[Jeep_Life 42]

Rams o-line is trash

[Yulia74]

mcvay is overrated

goff is average

[shocka1212]

yes.

[shocka1212]

mcvay is overrated

goff is average

Mcvay is good, Goff is garbage. can't even read a zone defense.

[stevenash]

How so?
The Rams first round draft picks they gave up I guarantee you will not be top ten first rounders.
They'll be mid teens or later picks, both of them. They were 13-3 last season, they had the 29th pick, they didn't even have a first rounder last draft. What did you expect LA do with those picks anyway? Love him or hate him Goff is the QB for the next decade. Gurley? Once again love him or hate him you're not going to upgrade that RB in the draft. They have three solid receivers, Robert Woods, Brandin Cooks, and Cooper Kupp. That's a solid trio of pass catchers, the Rams don't need offensive skilled position help from any near future draft.
The Rams o-line is fine, Goff isn't getting sacked that much, he gets protection, he wouldn't be passing for 300+ yards every week if he wasn't getting any blocking. They don't need o-line help from any upcoming draft either.
So ask yourself if you were the Rams GM where do I need help?
Rams just lost Talib their starting cornerback for the year with rib problems. Their need is at corner.
Talib if he returns healthy is 33 years old. You know what they call a 33 year old cornerback? Grandpa.
10 years ago when he was paired with Ronde Barber in Tampa Bay they were all world, I'm not disrespecting Talib by any means. He was a multiple pro bowler but he's at the end of the line.

Talib was a hell of a corner 8 years ago, but he's past his prime.
Timing is everything in life and you have this pressing need to replace your biggest need.
At the same time you need to replace this pressing need the best lock down CB the NFL has seen since "Prime Time" is available.
Mind you Ramsey was a top five overall first round pick just a few years ago, the way I see it is you're giving up a lesser round first round pick for a better first round pick that now has a couple of years of pro experience under his belt and now is polished, tossing in another first round pick is not all that bad after all now, is it?

[stevenash]

The o-line is not elite but they're OK.
Like I said in my post right above this one, Goff is getting protection, he's not getting smacked down on his ass.
He's slinging from the opening whistle to the final gun. That front line is good enough.
Ramsey fixed the defensive backfield.

[2daBank]

Fukk no. And it worse than just the 2 first rounders, then you gonna have to pay him more than he worth on top of that.

Don’t get me wrong, he is a excellent corner, he also a mouthy prick who often writes checks his ass don’t cash!

[MinnesotaFats]

I agree with Nasher

Plus Ramsey still on that rookie deal for awhile....not sure this trade involves contract stuff but I don't think he's even eligible for that yet

If Rams see a 3 year window they need to do something to shut down other teams because that offense isn't firing and we're 1 month out from TB dropping 50 on them.

[gauchojake]

He in on his rookie deal through 2020. His cap hit next year is like 13mil. Franchise tag for CB this year is 16 mil so Peters costs you at least that next year if you keep and franchise. Ramsey is better than Peters and cheaper. 2 first round picks that haven't even been made yet are worth a top 3 corner in the league under control for the next 1.5 years. They will likely have to pay him but can kick that can down the road next season.

You think he gonna play out his rookie deal? I wouldn’t count on that.

Fukk the Rams
