I don't think the Rams will have a shot at Winston or Mariota. Hundley reminds me Jason Campell, looks the part but doesn't act the part. There just aren't quality options in the draft. With Bradford most likely coming back what do you do?

Here is some possible trade options:
RGIII- He has worn out his welcome in Washington. He has talent, but can't read defenses and has been a poor locker room presence according to reports.

Mike Glennon- Young and has some talent. Won't be elite, but can be solid.

Derek Carr- I think the Raiders will be cleaning house after the season. With that the new GM and coach will want to bring in their guy. With the first pick in the draft they may pick Mariota leaving Care available.

Here is the free agent list:

I bet WAS resigns McCoy. Out of thst list excluding draft since you never know what could happen... Locker.

Bradford/Locker
 
Think I like Hill as much as anybody else on the list. Hopefully there is a mid round guy we really like. I would hate to use a first rounder on Hundley or Winston.

I would like to sign Prior and move him to tight end. I'm good with Bradford and Hill. I wouldn't mind taking a flier on Locker though.
 
Hundley comparisons getting a bit ridiculous, especially with that eye-sore of an O-Line he plays behind. That said, he has his faults and Mariota is really the only "sure best" of no sure-bet QBs in the draft.

I want none of those guys. See what prying lose Glennon takes.

Otherwise......you just take Hundley, trade up for Mariota....or you pray to god for Sam's health.

But I don't want to be fucked in the ass again if Sam doesn't work out. It isn't fair to the team. We need a quality QB and if Mariota is it....try to get him.

Unfortunately, TB is still in the driver's seat for him and need a QB.

There are no veteran QB options outside of trades. Trade will be the only way the Rams add a QB with actual ability or upside before the draft.

So I'm all for trading for Carr, who is just in a bad situation but at least has some upside. At some point, for that matter, I'm gonna start looking at all the rosters around the league to see if anyone has a former draft pick I liked lurking on their roster. But still trades are gonna be a long shot.

Rams need to kill it at QB in this draft. Scout the bejeezus out of all of them, leave no stone unturned. Hire extra QB evaluators even, if necessary. Then draft one early and another mid to late if necessary just to increase odds of having someone suitable on the depth chart.
 
My answer?
Depends upon who is the offensive coordinator.
If it's Schottenhiemer, then they might as well bring back Hill.
If it's someone else, then I'd hope they'd bring in someone that knows his offense.
 
The way the team has been playing as of late? Unless Bradford wants too much money, Its Bradford/Hill again

I think Schottenhiemer will be back. I would look to replace him, but I think he runs the type of offense Fisher wants.
