Rams might be absolutely going for it here in 2026

Exactly. Think about Greenard. Sure you can maybe trade him for a 2nd round pick, but you have to turn right around and use that pick to replace him. And 2nd rounders hit below 40%. Sure, Greenard cost money, but with him I already know what I have. The 2nd rounder could be the next Scott Crichton for all we know. 

You have to build through the draft so you can have young, cheap players always cycling through, but I think the best teams use a balanced mix of both.

But the issue is here they never drafted Greenard, they've already paid him what, $19 million in salary a year and $42 million in guarantees? They never received that sweet value of an originally drafted player on his first contract. You can put all the stats up you want about what percentage each round hits but the bottom line is Minnesota needs to start hitting on their draft picks or they'll fade away. Its been horrific under KAM, which means there's next to nothing in that first contract pipeline.

If you can get a late first rounder for Greenard, they should do it. But I have zero problem keeping him on board also. The Rams have Matt Stafford, so they can care lesser sometimes about moving picks....he helps on the misses in FA or the Draft.

Kam was clueless and[b] undervalued and wasted draft picks.[/b]  

Regardless about how anyone feels about KAM, at least this should be obvious to all.

JMO but I think KAM brought the organization to the edge of the abyss.....but not into it. Resetting the cap this year, a very solid draft and somehow hitting on a QB1 will turn this ship around in almost record time and then they can hit FA and a talent-laden 2027 draft to spring forward with momentum.
