With the Rams needing to make an impact as they re-debut in Los Angeles, they decided the best way to do so is behind the arm of QB Jared Goff. It just makes sense with his Hollywood good looks and $80 haircuts.
Goff becomes Cal's second #1 pick after Steve Bartkowski was taken by the Falcons in 1975; the last time the Pac-12 saw a player drafted #1 overall was Andrew Luck in 2012.
The Rams must have seen something they liked in Goff as they executed a monumental trade to grab our Bear Raid commander (which is a little worrisome that this may weaken the Rams roster and put Goff in a worse situation).
