Not to mention that a team full of veterans will age very quickly compared to other players in the league. How will you replace them when you get over the cap and you have no draft picks left? They are going for it all right now, but eventually, these moves will catch up with them.
Well since they started pulling off these trades, they have had three winning seasons, one playoff season and are currently tied for the best record in the NFL.  

The Jaguars have taken the opposite approach-purging the team of talent and accumulating draft picks, and we have netted 2 wins in our last 24 games, including losing 20 straight.  All we have netted from our picks is Trevor Lawrence (admittedly a great get) and a slightly above pedestrian TE.

Neither approach is guaranteed a Super Bowl, but at least the Rams can claim they went all out to get one with three winning seasons to show for it.  We can't make that claim.

Furthermore, assuming the worst case scenario for the Rams, could they honestly be any worse than we are?

At this point, I just think we are "snakebitten." I don't think anything we do can change our fortunes, at least not for the foreseeable future. I always believed in building via the draft, but that only works when you have competent people making the decisions. We don't have that luxury.
