Schefter: Rams wining and dining Jake Long

[Bald_81]

THEY are bringing in dorsey and ellis next week , but they have too eat at wendy's dollar menu . Which will still cost us about $ 1200.00 dollars against the cap .

What happened to the good old days when a team would call a prospect and say , HEY if you sign with us we'll give ya $ 300.oo bucks . whata ya say pal .

Where did you read we are taking those two next week?

Exactly. The Rams don't want anyone to know what they're going to do and from all the stories out there about the players they covet, it's working.

No doubt that the Rams don't want other teams to know what they're going to do. But at this point I'm not so sure *they* even know what they're going to do. I would think their final draft board would not be complete until after all the pro days and after they've had the opportunity to interview the prospects one on one. I don't doubt that J. Long is a serious possibility for them right now.

I have to ask why?

I have to ask why?

Because he's a great OT prospect and to say that we had OL problems last year would be an understatement. Even if Pace is healthy this year, will he stay healthy? He hasn't for the past two seasons. Barron isn't exactly a pro bowler. Why wouldn't he be a serious possibility for the Rams?

The players realized finally that it may be the owner's money but it's their body getting hammered not only on gameday but in practice.

I think it was a joke about the price of taking guys to dinner.
