Whoever says the draft is the way to build a team needs to look at what the Rams have done.
Well....a main reason the Rams could pull this off is BECAUSE of a guy they drafted (Verse) as part of the comp. The Rams have a very nice QB1 in Stafford, he's why they are swinging for the fences and rightly so. You still need to build your team through the Draft IMO, its vital. But certainly not 100% of the equation.

I think the Rams are exploiting how much NFL teams overvalue draft picks and are taking advantage.

They have also done well in the middle rounds of their drafts. Key to building your team and depth.

Smartest move they made was Stafford...Little bit of a horseshoe up their bung with Nacua.
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

All the Rams have to do now is pray Stafford stays healthy. He's been a man of steel but is 38 y/o this year!
