Yah, I can agree with that. Though, I've never been as risk-averse about draft picks as most. Not as reckless as the Rams have been in the recent past, but somewhere in the middle I guess.


For the threepeat I'd be willing to gamble a little more than usual. Even trading our 1st isn't outside the lines in my book. But like you say, for the right guy, and Kupp isn't the right guy, imo.

I'd trade them Skyy Moore for DRob, but no way would I give up a draft pick. DeMarcus is absolute ass.

Skyy Moore was a second round pick. Think that they would trade straight up? Lol

Nobody wants Skyy Moore. Not even if he was free and came with an extra roster spot. Like a handful of other receivers, he is only employable by the Chiefs.

DRob has basically the same stat lines as Worthy. And to date he's outplayed all of our other 'WRs.' In fact, you could take JJSS'/Hardman's stats and combine them, and DRob has 1 more yd and the same number of TDs.


So what you're saying is JJSS/Hardman are absolute ass.

2nd round pick is basically Skyy Moore or the shit LT (Sumo?) we took this year…

I would do it in a heartbeat

Veach just needs volume to draft with.. he don’t need no stinking 2nd rounder

If the Chiefs got Kupp, and if he could manage to stay healthy for the season, it would probably be over for the rest of the league.

Dwight Freeney might kill himself if that happened and they 3 peated.. oh no!!! Anyways.

A 2nd is also Rashee Rice, Chris Jones, Nick Bolton, Creed Humphrey, Willie Gay. Heck guys like Travis Kelce, Kareem Hunt, L'Jarius Sneed, Tyreek Hill, Justin Houston were taken after the 2nd round. So there is another side to that coin.

I'm not saying they shouldn't trade picks for proven veterans. Especially when we desperately need someone at WR. Just that picks can turn out to be great players too. And they're cheap for a few seasons.

Stafford to the Vikes?!? Darnold’s lookin sharp lately but Stafford’s proven. Crazy.

Cooper? Sure. Is he healthy now, at least? Can we get away with offering our 3rd, that could become the TEN 3rd or our 2nd depending on his playtime the rest of the year? Mix Sky Moore in there and a late pick swap, maybe Robinson too if they’re game? Kupp, when/if healthy, would be an absolute monster in KC. Kupp, Rice, Brown, & Worthy as next year’s WR core is very very solid.

I would really like to know how LV sets the odds for these things, because they are rarely correct, at least when it comes to KC it seems. But I just saw some article where LV has KC as +200 to acquire Kupp at the moment.

Personally, I wouldn't hold my breath.

MLFootball is awful. Deserves a spot in the 7th ring of hell

Yeah that’s a click bait aggregator.

There are some good ones who share actual rumors and news, and then there are ones that do that plus make shit up.

I don’t understand the panic either.

Regardless of whether we spend or don’t spend we’re due for a reset in a few years. Not a rebuild, just 1 season where you clean up your cap, gut some of your vets and stockpile draft picks. I think people are scared because teams like buffalo and the chargers did this for years and years and years. The chiefs on the other hand have been relatively passive for a contender. It’s not going to break us to make a big move or 2.

If we traded for Kupp, 3-peat, and then head into 2025 season with Rice, Kupp and Worthy...lol...just freaking wreck the rest of the league.

Sure but are they incorrect here? I wouldn't be surprised to see the Chiefs are the betting favorites.

Don’t forget Myles Garrett

I lean that way too. But I also feel like he was horribly mismanaged. The rams couldn’t wait to bring him in and abuse him as soon as he was even remotely healthy. Because they rely on him so much. We’ve seen with our history with Toney and Watkins that we don’t work that way. I do really wonder if what he needs is just a team that can moderate his usage. Give him a true recovery timeline. Because the thing about kupp is, if he stays healthy, he has the kind of skill set that can easily be effective into his 30s because his talent isnt from raw athletic talent.

Yah, pretty much. And some of our vets are going to retire/leave anyway in the next two-three years, like Travis/CJ etc. Several of those salaries are coming off the books sooner rather than later, no? Meanwhile, the cap is going to go up. What seems like a lot of $$$ right now is going to be league average in just a few years.

I’d give them the titans 2nd. That should outbid everyone. We need help badly. I don’t want to lose a 3peat due to not giving up that 2nd.

For Kupp?!?

I grow more convinced by the day we don’t sign a big name WR before the deadline (barring another significant injury). In fact, if anything, they might sign someone from the other side of the ball.

Just my completely unscientific, wild ass assumption.

5 ankle injuries in 2 years is well past the point of pencilling someone in as injury prone. It would make absolutely no sense to give up anything of value for Cooper Kupp. Make a move for Johnson, Slayton, or Kirk.

I don't believe we have TEN 2nd. We have their 3rd. I think he meant their 3rd.

So deal for another WR to put on IR ROFL

Yes, but not so much that you make stupid decisions about the future. You can care about this year and make moves to support it without jeopardizing the future.

I'd take Tutu Atwell over Kupp any day of the week and we're definitely not getting him.

Is Kupp a Buccaneer yet?

Why would we want little Tutu?

So Worthy can have a teammate he can look in the eye?:shrug:

Put him in the slot and watch him dominate.

4 TE sets.

Exactly. No thanks.

He's washed and expensive and old. He'll no.

Why? He's a JAG. Tutu isn't anything better than what's on the roster. Kupp is but he's broke alot lately

The ONLY way it would make sense is if LA eats half the $ and is willing to accept a conditional pick based on availability.

A 4th that can top out as the titans third if CK is able to stay healthy through the playoffs.

Watching football for a few decades...some players are just injury prone. Not everyone's body is designed to withstand the abuse.

Sammy Watkins is a prime example...if a guy has had 5 ankle injuries, that's a hard pass unless the compensation in minimal....or contingent on playing time.

The Rams wouldnt be willing to offload a former all-pro WR if he were reliable.

Have there been any progress updates on Brown...if he's not going to return then rolling the dice might be necessary.

No

Yes, sorry. Meant 3rd.

Too old

He's 4 years younger than Kelce.

But many more miles

it would be better to trade for someone else

he hasn't exactly been proven to be reliable. Minimum risk would be okay I guess, a 7th round pick? But I'm unsure of his contract

I'll just say the absolutely delusional pipedream, Garrett Wilson has been floated on the trading block.

Reunite Wilson and Olave. Make it happen, Burt.

Jones, Kelce and Mahomes are immune from Andys 30 club. Nobody else is.

Hey our IR could kick anyones ass

Now that we’re probably out of the kupp game I’d still love for the guy to get out of LA because that is an abusive relationship. He is not only being overused, he’s being abused. I read that in the opening game against Detroit not only did he get 21 targets, they ran him 400 yards on presnap motions alone.

What team in their right mind takes s big $ guy with a history of injuries on does this on opening day? I do wonder if he can hold up on way less overuse.

I could’ve been more wrong — but I’m not sure how. I think the only reason they signed Hopkins is because BV reads CP for hot takes, and mine greatly angered him.

Does he? He's played a lot less than Kelce. More injuries obviously.

No reason to make this trade with Hopkins already acquired, unless the Rams give the Chiefs some ridiculous price Veach cannot refuse.

The Rams probably thought we would be desperate and give in to their demands for too much compensation and taking the salary off their books.

Everyone wants to bend over the reigning SB Champs when discussing a trade.

Good thing GMBV is smarter than any of the other GM's.

So… M Garrett next then?

Shocked he's not practicing in KC now tbh

If we get Myles Garrett, we don't need WRs. Just need to score 14 to win each game.

7 safeties? LFG!

Yes. Absolutely more miles. Injuries do that to players.

If we got Garrett I’d literally cum buckets.

Fully erect.

Cooper Kupp reportedly on the trade block
 

Apparently there’s talk about the Rams trying to trade Stafford.
