This is a big deal. Love it, it really will help improve our OL. Murray should be happy. Hats off to Keim!!!!!

No problem with that at all. As anyone seem our history of 3rd round picks?

I'm guessing (and hoping) that they will renew his deal. Give him more years and reduce this years cap hit.

 

[Solar7]

Well, tough to give up a 3rd round pick, but still AWESOME.

 

[Shane]

this was my first thought too. then my thought just now was it doesn't matter because Keim likely blows the pick anyway. The Rams continually trade picks for proven players and it's paid off for them. If that's how we have to roll, so be it.

You sound like you are confident in Steve Kevin’s ability to draft a third round draft pick there is going to have the same impact as a Rodney Hudson a potential Hall of Fame Center???

 

[AZfaninMN]

Yeah, a guy that was supposedly going to be a free agent - which would require no draft compensation.

Also no guarantee he comes here after his release from LV. Now we can guarantee he’s on our team and we’re not going to find someone better than him in round 3

 

[Goldfield]

Yea if he was a free agent he would of went to chiefs. Now we have him and a cheaper contract

 

[JohnnyCakes]

Gambo says we would have got him if the Raiders just released him. Sigh


Well...at least I wont get my hopes up for a crappy Keim pick.

his contract is extremely friendly so this leaves the team with spending room.

 

[Proximo]

I really hope it is not this years third. That would make it much more palatable.

Shane, that was literally the EXACT OPPOSITE of what I posted. Read it again. I said Keim likely blows the pick anyway, so I'm fine getting rid of the 3rd.

 

[BritCard]

Hudson is the best center the Cardinals have had on their roster since they've come to Arizona.

Ever

 

[football karma]

I know some will say why trade a 3rd if they would probably release him anyway? but we just got an all pro center for a 3rd. I’m more than good with this.

Twitter was saying that the Dolphins were the competition on trade, Packers in the mix / unlikely that the Raiders were sending them to the Chiefs.

 

[Minski]

Get In!!!

my bad... I’m just happy we landed him before being released and not having to get in a bidding war Kansas City or some other team

 

[DVontel]

If Farley or a top WR doesn’t fall then I think a trade back is likely.

 

[SoonerLou]

I think trading down to acquire more picks has to be an option now.

 

[JohnnyCakes]

Who cares we had to give up a third? Great move!

i agree, who cares. some people cannot be satisfied though and need to complain.

 

[HGC]

Hell Yes!!

 

[splitsecond]

Guys like this don’t become available very often. This is a guy Kugler can lean on HEAVILY to be a leader in the line.

 

[Shane]

Such a good move

Keims recent 3rd round picks

Josh Jones (can't start over Beechum)
Zach Allen (JAG)
Mason Cole (JAG)
Chad Williams (lol)
Brandon Williams (lol)

Sigh. So ridiculous.

 

[jlove]

I'm good with giving up a 3rd. Hoping it's a future 3rd just because we only have 5 picks this year. If it is this year, then Keim has to trade down from 16 to pick up more picks.

 

[kerouac9]

a lot of complaining again for a potential HOF level center. Lol

3 pro bowls in 9 seasons and one second-team All-Pro does not a hall of fame career make. PFR's comparison tool puts him on the same level as Mike Pouncey.

this was my first thought too. then my thought just now was it doesn't matter because Keim likely blows the pick anyway. The Rams continually trade picks for proven players and it's paid off for them. If that's how we have to roll, so be it.

Honestly, 3rd round picks are lottery tickets. One in four work out. You get two years guaranteed at $9.5 million and $10 million with an opportunity to extend in 2022 and lower that eight-figure cap it. You can also release him at any time and only have a $3.5 million guaranteed salary.

I don't really know if he's good. He's missed 4 games in the last 8 seasons. Not a lot of downside on this one.

 

[DVontel]

Yup. Could be in Greg Newsome or Asante Samuel Jr range. Also not totally writing off iOL either but I think Vera-Tucker would by far be gone already.

+1

The chances of finding a player as good as Hudson has been in the third round at his position is ludicrously low.

There is a general dearth of good young centers in the NFL right now.
