The Official 2009 NFL Draft Discussion Thread

Agreed AV. The FO hasn't given me any reason to doubt their logic. Being in PAC 10 territory gave me big doses of Maualuga and not so much Laurinatis. So I am biased by what I saw on the field.

Great choice though. Now let's get more holes filled.

Look who picked Maualuga: The Bengals

he definitely had character concerns
lol

Several quality OT still available in round 2 for those who thought the Rams had no other choice but to go OT with the 2nd overall pick.....

Maybe the roids rumors were more than just rumors??

[richtree]

Question now shifts to Round 3 ?

Where to go / ?

WR, DT, or another LB...?


I thought if the Titans didn't pick Britt he would have been ours., but solid draft so far ., gotta love the new organizational direction...


go rams

[realchamp11]

so two needs down (OT and MLB) WR next or DT??

[RamsFanSam]

So far, I think the war room has used some deep thought about what it will take to get us back in the mix. Two picks, two players who can be instant upgrades.

I'm ready for the pre-season already...

I wanted Hakeem Nicks, I'd like to see us pick up a big tall WR that can go jump for balls. I think they'll go with DT before WR though.

[bruce4life]

Who wanted Maulauga over Laurentis?

[ramsfan559]

should rams think ramses barden
now or is it too early

12. New Orleans Saints - James Laurinatis/LB (Ohio State)

With Deuce coming back to help Reggie in the backfield and WR Robert Meachum having a full year under his belt as an NFL receiver, the Saints will be alright on offense. Defense is anothe matter entirely. They need help pretty much everywhere. Look for them to take the best defensive player left in the draft (whoever that might be come April), which happens to be James Laranaitis on my board.


Many had James Laurinatis going very high last year. Then he stayed in school. I think we scored big time. If we would have got Long and Laranaitis in last years draft, we all would have been happy. We have both of them now.

I hate that word when talking draft NEEDS. It means you will pass up on a player to address a need. The Rams should be thinking upgrading players so we can get out of the cellar. We drafted NEEDS with Lineham and what did it do for the Rams?????

[Mooselini]

Glad we got the players we did. Hope Laurinitis plays out man. I'm REALLY excited about that pick!

Kinda upset that Seahawks and Niners got good players. But it was bound to happen.

[RockinRam]

Let's hope for another great day tomorrow.

Saw Michael Johnson still on the board after the second round. What is everyone's thoughts on him? I would love him & I think he is a steal in the 3rd. With Little creeping up in age he would be a great DE to bring up behind him.
