Re: FULL 3 rd mock + RAMS 4th.

Pretty sure the pick you missed was KC's second rounder, which falls between the Falcons' and Jets' pick.

As for the Rams draft, I'm not that excited about it. The Dorsey pick has been hashed and rehashed to death. All I'll say is this - passing on two DEs like Long and Gholston to take Dorsey means DE needs to be a priority in the next few rounds. But not addressing it until round four would be a pretty big gamble on the Rams' part, and I really am not convinced a DE/DT 'tweener like Jason Jones could really contribute much on the edge where we need help.

Personally, if the Rams take Dorsey in round one and the draft falls as you have it, I can't help but wonder if in the second round the Rams might not be better served picking Calias Campbell or Quentin Groves to play DE. Then in round three, they can come back to take an OL in Hills or Cousins, and then in the fourth round look for a receiver like Dexter Jackson, Will Franklin, or Jerome Simpson.

Ultimately I think if you're the Rams and you pass on Chris Long to take Dorsey, you better be sure you get a quality end prospect sooner rather than later.
