2012 Rams Third Round Pick (#65): Trumaine Johnson, CB, Montana

[Nick]

Second DB in this draft. Discuss!

A little surprised by that pick. I loved him earlier this offseason. He might be a safety for the Rams.

[RebelYell]

Yep, he'll move to safety I bet. The Rams needed a safety. 6'2 and 210 lbs is a massive CB.

No faith in Bradley Fletcher?

Interesting to say the least. 1st round talent like Janoris, but slipped due to off the field concerns. Im confused with whats going on with Bradley Fletcher and Jerome Murphy.

Fisher's son played on the montana team with him this year. Inside info for sure. I have no problem with the pick. I really wanted lavonte david, but he got swiped a few spots ahead. We need linebacker for sure and guard, but, the bottom line is quality players.

ramming speed to all

Starting safety no doubt! Sorry Darian.

Finnegan
Jenkins
Fletcher
Murphy

Mikell
Johnson

Man... That is a potent secondary w brockers fixing the DT.

I LOVE this draft!

[Fettmaster]

Surprising. Like some have said, I can see him moving to safety.

Surprised on the pick. Said to be first round talent, but we got him in the 3rd round. Great value pick. It's a passing league so we can never have too many talented CBs. Love the way our defense is shaping up. Great way to end one of the most exciting days for a Rams fan in awhile.

Rams have had 5 selections in 3 rounds and no protection for Sam Bradford, interesting.

[AvengerRam]

Well, if last year didn't teach us that you can never have too many CBs...

With the Niners (Randy Moss, A.J. Jenkins) and Cardinals (Michael Floyd) stocking up on WRs, the Rams counter with added talent at DB (Finnegan, Jenkins, Johnson). I like the chess match.

Rams - Johnson - Physical guy. not dure of off cover ability as CB, but can play press coverage. Physical enuff to be DS

#Rams upgraded their secondary significantly with Janoris Jenkins & Trumaine Johnson. Jenkins smaller playmaker, Johnson physical ballhawk.

#Rams double up at corner by taking Montana CB Trumaine Johnson, PFW's 35th-ranked overall player.

With pick 65, the Rams take DB Trumaine Johnson from Montana. Mayock says he has first-round talent.

3. (65) Rams, CB Trumaine Johnson: Lanky CB w/good field speed, physicality, ball skills; 1st-round talent but off-field baggage #NFLDraft

#Rams having a pretty great draft

[general counsel]

I agree with MD8. You can't have enough corners and guys that can play both corner and safety also tend to help on special teams. The Rams have overhauled their secondary and i am thrilled about it.

There's really only one glaring hole at this point and it's at left guard, where you don't necessarily have to spend premium picks to find guys you can plug in. We'll see what they do, but the guard value IMO was not great at the top of the third.

[RebelYell]

To fill out the roster the Rams need a Guard and 2 OLBs. You can snag that in the 4th and free agency easily. Love this draft for the holes filled. Let's see if they can develop the players.
