One of the things glossed over Tuesday was the Los Angeles
Rams¡¯ activity in this nigh madness that is the NFL trade deadline. They traded
a 2019 third round pick and a 2020 fifth round pick to the Jacksonville Jaguars
to secure the services of Dante Fowler. That makes the Rams defensive
line

which was already one of the best in the league, even better. It also makes the
Rams not only push their chips all in, but take shoes off, dig through couch
cushions, pawn the watches, and anything else to add to their all-in plan for
2018. The Rams now have four picks in the 2019 NFL Draft. They have their first,

fifth and sixth round picks. They have Jared Goff on a rookie contract, and
given the rate at which rookie deals are increasing, their window to win a
Lombardi Trophy is now.Before you go nuts wondering why the San Francisco 49ers
didn¡¯t make a trade for Fowler, remember, they are 1-7 and that¡¯s Dante Fowler.
Fowler is not Jimmy Garoppolo and his (Fowler¡¯s) contract is up at the end of
the season. A quarterback and a defensive lineman¡ªespecially one like Fowler who
comes with question marks¡ªare two completely different scenarios with that
contract status. The Rams now will have to dig into the bank once again to pay
Fowler some money if they want to keep him around, while bracing for the future
huge contract Jared Goff will command. If they decide not to pay Fowler (and
given Fowler¡¯s background and slightly disappointing play thus far, they might)
they just gave up two more draft picks to win a Super Bowl in 2018. If the 49ers
wanted Fowler they probably could make a play for him in free
agency

commodity, but he also comes with some off-field issues and not living up to the
third overall pick of the 2015 draft. The Rams want some more insurance with
that defensive line to get their Super Bowl win. The 49ers want to get out of
2018 while mitigating further disaster. If the Rams hold onto Fowler, it¡¯s more
salary cap money that is sapped away and it¡¯s two less draft picks for when
those cap hits catch up with them. If the Rams don¡¯t win a Super Bowl this year,
they just burned more of their future for a guy who might not be around 10 or so
games from now. The San Francisco 49ers promoted running back Matt Dayes from
the practice squad on Monday to add some depth for their Monday Night Football
contest against the New York Giants. To make room for Dayes, the 49ers released
defensive back Tyvis Powell. It seemed likely the 49ers would release
quarterback Tom Savage one again, but that was not the case.The decision to
release Powell is an intriguing one. Last week he started at strong safety, a
week after moving into the starting lineup when Jaquiski Tartt and Antone Exum.
Tartt is out this week with the shoulder injury he suffered two weeks ago. Exum
was inactive last week due to a

go into Monday¡¯s game with Exum and rookie Marcell Harris available at strong
safety. Exum seems likely to get the start, and the team is comfortable having
the rookie available if anything happens to Exum. Last week was Harris¡¯ first
game active with the team. He played 15 special teams snaps and six defensive
snaps. Of the six defensive snaps, he played five in a box role, and one in a
free safety role.
