All of your statement is untrue.
You have not countered any of the concrete information provided. The Rams traded a 2nd and 3rd for Von Miller, a 10-month rental. They traded two 1st and a 4th for a corner.
No one has stated that what the Rams have done is not the way to go. No one knows. It may become the way of the NFL. But the media view that the Rams have gone all in by mortgaging their future is rather obvious. The Rams went all in by trading future assets for this year. They accumulated a lot of top talent. So, yes, excuse me, but the Rams needed to be in the Super Bowl this year. The Bengals are the surprise story and the underdog.
Look at the Rams draft for 2022 and don't tell me they didn't mortgage their future for NOW (and other future picks, including first also have been traded away)
- Round 1: Traded to the Lions
- Round 2: Traded to the Broncos
- Round 3: Traded to the Broncos; own a compensatory pick via Brad Holmes hire
- Round 4: Traded to the Texans
- Round 5: Own
- Round 6: Traded to the Patriots
- Round 7: Own plus the Dolphins’ pick
