Brandon Lloyd is a RAM

[Jockelite]

brandon is GREAT at the crazy one handed sideline catches that make the top plays of the week..

but you get 1 highlight catch after 8 droped passes.

He has 1 drop in 32 targets... Cant say that about, just about everyone on the Rams.

You dont necessarily see those teams preparing to go into rebuild mode either. If Lloyd wasnt better then most, or ALL of our receivers, then you'd probably have a good point.

it seems pointless at this time.. why try to plug holes in the dam?

We are going to be what...? 0-7? 0-8? before we have a shot at a win.. 5-11 and 6-10 is pointless.

lets get the BEST spot in the draft, pick up Luck, trade him for 2 firsts and a 2nd rounder, and lets create a dynasty. Get quality WRs, not someone who might be a good #3 or #5 option.

remember Sam still needs time to throw to them,so hopefully this will pump up the o-line like it has the fans and they keep Sam upright.

Rams have completed trade with Denver for WR Brandon Lloyd. He is now a Ram.

[hill_Bartell=Probowl]

99 users are looking at this thread. WOW!

[LA Rammer]

Hold your horses. While I have no reason to believe the deal won't get done, Wikipedia is hardly an "official" source.

wikipedia is true! I just saw brandon running past my house! i got a picture to prove it!

I would give up a fourth in a heartbeat, it also gives Sam confidence that someone in the huddle actually knows the OFFENCE..

[Rambunctious]

You can use a lot of negative adjectives to describe Lloyd and most I wouldn't disagree with but "washed up" implies to me he has nothing left in the tank. Leading the league last year says there is still plenty left in the tank if you know how to get it out. Guess what... we have the one guy who figured out how to get it out.

Did I miss an article where the ***** and Patriots offered to trade for him? I don't know if he is chasing money or McDaniels... but probably both.

or we could just hit reset on the xbox.

Most likely we aren't going to get the talent lloyd has in the fourth round of the draft. This is a great move imho, if for noting else then to prevent Sam from killing one of his own players due to them not catching the ball.

Its offical -- rams give up a 6th round pick.....it could become 5th if lloyd # of catches

[Tampa_Ram]

Im still against this trade but will glady be the first to admit i was wrong if he produces for us the rest of the season.

In no way does this change that we need a true #1. We better take a wr in 1st round if Blackmon/Jeffery are still on the board when we pick.

If that's the case, then that's a lot better than the third or fourth some fans were willing to give up, which IMO would have been much too high for a risk like Lloyd. Now, if the Rams can sign him to a modest extension rather than the big pay day he's probably looking for, even better.

I still don't view Lloyd as a significant upgrade or the top flight receiver the Rams need, so I hope that the Rams don't compensate Lloyd - either in what they trade away or what they financially commit to - as one either.

wow, that makes me feel a lot better knowing it was only a 6th round pick and only will be a 5th if he produces well.

Agreed, it was nice to see that. I wonder if/what the comp pick will be if we let him walk at EOY.
