I'm warming up to the idea.
 
to me thats a wasted pick. We already have a lot invested in our D Line. we to invest in other areas like o line and secondary. our d line is already one of the best

Supposedly teams have concerns about Donalds height. Fisher seems to like his Dlineman taller but he did have Donald visit. Feigning interest or real interest? Who knows but with Carrington added to the rotation DT doesn't seem to be an urgent need. But I guess if they are believers then he would make sense at 13.

I think if their is a corner they like well enough to take with their second first then that should be the priority.
 
I think OL and cb positions must be addressed before drafting a DL.

I would be in favor of jumping back into the 1st round to draft Donald even if it means trading a future 1st round pick.

Robinson, Gilbert, and Donald would drastically improve both sides of the line and secondary

Trading future 1st round picks to move back up into the first round is ALWAYS a bad idea. Scratch that, it's a terrible idea. Historically, it has terrible results.

Nor should the Rams force themselves to address the CB position in the first round. Donald > Any of the CBs in this draft imo.

Always remember the draft isn't for today. And Langston is probably only a one more year guy, But this guy can help this year. Cudjo and Conrath can both be upgraded in the rotation. And this would be one hell of an upgrade.

Exactly. We'll get a CB (they seem to like Reid), but with G.Wiiliams back I predict a better year from Tru & JJ. Besides, Donald makes our line THE BEST in the NFL. Our DB's will press and cover for about 3.5 seconds before the QB is killed.

Could care less about past draft history. If a team evaluates well and the player lives up to the hype then the trade would be worth it.

You have called Donald a future perennial pro bowler, if thats the case then he woukd most certainly be worth the future 1st, right?
And yes the rams have a big need at cb. Im not sold on tru or janoris.

Good that you can care less. If you couldn't care less, there might be an issue. ;)

If you go back and look, the trades have not been worth it. I would never trade a future 1st to get back into the first round.

I think Donald will be a future Pro Bowler. Which is why I'd draft him over the CB. We can get a CB in the second or third round if need be.
 
I'd be good with him after we got Robinson! Fill the olg, then back up the lines is cool!
 
If we can't get Clowney at no. 2 then I want us to make a serious effort at getting Donald because those are 2 players that could turn our D-line into the best in the NFL imo.
 
I wouldn't mind Donald at 13. Pro bowl caliber talent. It will just keep this d-line great for years to come along side Quinn and Brockers.
