I gave the Rams a C-. Without Chris Long...its a D-...It seems that when the draft room participants were golfng on Friday, they made up their minds who they were going to select...NO MATTER WHAT. thas cool when you are the 1st to truly pick on day one, but by the second round you have to Evaluate the board. With every reciever in the nation available , we pick Avery. This is a reciever who had trouble getting off of the line of scimmage in the Sr bowl against collegiate competition. I wont discard the measureables in speed and production. But I will metion his highlights include great games over powerhouses SMU and Tulane...pick 3, I cant argue. But it must be noted that Dan Connor was on the board and our Linebackers are WW (Stud), Tiso(Hurt last two years), and Culberson (WHO?).... Our 4th pick was our best value pick. King is a 1st day draftee if not for some off the field issues. Then we wheel and deal in the 5th 6th and dont address the before mentioned LB situation until Mr Irrelevant....Of couse the grade for the draft is one that should truly wait until the season is over to truly evaluate, but to me it seems the Rams were too locked in and didnt change or re-evaluate their board as the dfat unfolded.
