I don't think the Rams would pass on Jamaal Brown for Khalif Barnes, and I certainly don't see them taking Stanley Wilson with Darryl Blackstock and Josh Bullocks still on the board. And a DT in the third round? With Adam Terry still on the board?


This one's just a mess.

couldn't agree more. Nick is going to flip when he sees this one.

[ZigZagRam]

I could see the Rams taking Barnes over Brown because they've seemingly fallen in love with the guy, but I don't like the rest of the picks at all.

[AvengerRam]

I've heard the same rumblings about Barnes, and I don't necessarily disagree with you on that one. The rest, though... ugh!

[Scidog68]

Who are these people? Why would they (and not our oh-so-more-knowledgeable forum) be so all-knowing?

Oh, yeah.........Bully for HU! Rock On, Brother!

Barnes may turn out to be great, who knows? But I just can't see the Rams passing on the best pass blocker in college football, not to mention the best RT in college football, Jamaal Brown. I think either one of them would have the inside track to start at RT, but IMHO Brown is the better pass blocker.

I'll just say this - if the Rams pull something like this off, I'll be reaching for the razor blades. This is a horrible mock for the Rams. Stanley Wilson in the second? I haven't even seen this guy's name being mentioned in talks about the first day of the draft, let alone the second round. Barnes is a decent pick if still a reach, and the Utah guard is a pretty quality pick-up in the third, but the other two selections are downright bad, IMO.

You're right about Barnes - he may turn into something special. He's got the athleticism to do so. But he's much more of a project that someone like Brown, who has been playing at an elite level for years now. Barnes has been inconsistent, and doesn't have the same grasp of the game.
