No question, late rounders can be a success in the NFL. However, I don't understand how someone can say that the rams are taking the TE/FB positions seriously. Certainly, taking this area seriously doesn't mean addressing it in the 7th round of the draft, re-signing one of the worst players on the rams offense last season (manumaleuna) and then converting an UFA RB to FB and say that he only has to an "adequate" blocker. Like I said, I see no sign of the rams taking the TE/FB positions seriously this year. Seems to me that they are taking it as lightly as ever.
