Sean Weatherspoon

What would you guys think about taking him in the second round if he's available? He and Laurinaitis would help make up a young and fierce linebacker corps that would be the envy of the rest of the league. Spoon has been projected late first round or early second round, so it's likely that he will be available come our second pick.

Here's what I said regarding Weatherspoon as a possibility to the Rams when RAMarkable asked about it in the thread for my mock draft:

So yeah, I think he'd have to be in consideration, especially if the Rams aren't blown away by what they see at some other potential positions there (QB, WR, DE, CB, etc).

I love to see him fall to us and Spags et all grab him. Maybe hard if some talented QB's are available. Wonder if the Rams could action next years 2nd round pick and some latter round picks to move back in the 2nd if he's there?

Go Rams

From what I saw in the Navy-Mizzou bowl game today, I'd rather take a talented QB or another position of higher need, than drafting Weatherspoon. His play was decent, making a tackle here and there, but he didn't look too impressive.
