Heading into Day 3 of the 2024 NFL Draft, I encouraged the L.A. Rams to exchange up and take South Carolina quarterback Spencer Rattler as Matthew Stafford’s successor. My proposal must’ve gotten misplaced within the mail as the Saints took Rattler within the fifth circular. Unused Orleans took the Gamecocks star with the No. 150 choose, fair four picks some time recently LA chosen Washington State DE Brennan Jackson.
Rattler was there for the taking and reasonably, the Rams might not have required to exchange up for him given his long accessibility on the board. I’d contend that LA may come to lament their choice within the long run.
Derrik Klassen from Seat Report named the Rams as a group that wished they may have a do-over after passing on Rattler. Klassen contended that the choose “would have made so much sense from each angle.”
The Holy people made a extraordinary choose in taking Rattler when everybody else passed him over. That missed opportunity should eat at Les Snead and Sean McVay considering Modern Orleans features a progression arrange in put for at whatever point Derek Carr craps the bed (once more).
Right presently, LA has no clear arrange for how to supplant Stafford at whatever point that day comes.
Beyond any doubt, Jimmy Garoppolo may be a solid reinforcement, but he’s clearly not within the Rams’ future plans. If he is, at that point something went horribly, terribly off-base. Stetson Bennett is a secretive constrain, however is additionally impossible to be the long run. Like in NOLA, Rattler would’ve learned from a experienced without feeling any weight to begin. In spite of the fact that, he would likely advantage more in learning from a Super Bowl champ in Stafford and an offensive guru like McVay.
Time will tell in case the Rams were astute to pass on the South Carolina item. Until at that point, LA whiffed on their best chance to require Spencer Rattler.
