Not a bad pick but I no doubt prefer Mark Anderson over him.

Can we assume that they passed over Anderson for Adeyanju's run stopping advantages?

It depends on what you want to do. Adeyanju has a definite size advantage and I think is more of an every down lineman who could even play 3-4 defensive end. Anderson is a pass rushing specialist who could see a move to a 3-4 OLB to better utilize his skills. If the Rams want to show some 3-4 flashes, they'll need a big guy who can hold up at the point of attack on the line, and Victor seems to be a better fit for that role.

Oh.... my ... God!!!
I would have been happy with him as a third round pick, and we got him with a 4th rounder AND got rid of Manu!!!!
This is a GREAT draft!

Yet another great value pick at a position of need. Gotta love this draft.

Re: With the 113th overall pick, the St. Louis Rams select Victor Adeyanju, DE, Indiana
I really like this pick.
Not one of those pure pass rusher types that, while they are nice to have, seem like a waste to me. While I haven't seen any Indiana games on TV being up North, I know that Av was a huge advocate of his, and I have faith in his judgement.
I've read everywhere that his technique needs work, but that if he develops, he could be a star.
Bottom line is I like guys who can focus on stopping a running back on top of getting to the QB.
