Mock drafters have the Rams picking Michael Crabtree. Crabtree has an injuried ankle, which will require him to be out 6-10 weeks. Will his stock drop?
Andre Smith OT has weight issues and will not attend Combine. Surely the Rams have crossed Smith off their list for the #2 pick in the draft.
But what will the Rams do with the #2 pick? QB maybe?
Keep an eye out for Mark Sanchez (USC).
I kind of like Eugene Monroe, but I still don't know much about him. We'll have to see how it goes.
Don't know much about Eugene Monroe either. Looked him up though. Very impessive! 6'-6", 319 lbs out of Virginia.Quote:

Are you secretly attracted to Bulger? You are constantly talking about him and he is also your avatar. Seems to me someone has a crush.:DQuote:

I'm probably wrong but I think the Rams are saying the right things and making people believe Crabtree is a serious option to get teams like Seattle interested in trading up. The ankle injury doesn't help but I don't think anyone seriously wanting him will let this be a deal breaker.
In my opinion, it's probably down to Eugene Monroe, Jason Smith, or Aaron Curry.

i do think we`ll only draft Crabtree(to keep him) if we end up already having a trade back into the late first to pick up a OT deal in the pipeline,come the time of the draft weekend.
Surely you jest! I don't have a crush, but have been crushed by the Saint Louis Rams starting quarterback, on many occasions, the past few years.Quote:

no monroe! just like i said ~1 mos ago-- no doughboy alabama smith, and look what happened lol! I cannot understand the OT at #2. O-lineman are easy to find and three lots of OT this year. #2 should go to Crabtree, Curry, or Mauluga. STOP with the 'thats too high for a LB whines-- How about whats goona help the Rmas out and impact them the most? After-- go draft the OT. Monroe-- 22 reps on Bench Press..... for someone who weighs over 300lbs-- terrible. If we did OT, J Smith is the best of the draft-- but from an NFL impact player POV, I truly do not this that position will impact the Rams like Crabtree or a very good MLB will.Quote:

How can anyone want Sanchez... he started 16 freakin games. Hardly gives him enough to be considered a number two. Especially on a team thats spending a lot on their current QB.Quote:

Crabtree's foot is injured not his ankle. Just thought you'd like to know.
Also the odds of us taking a QB with the second overall pick are the same odds of dgr828 making a thread that I don't laugh at.
Eugene Monroe, welcome to the Rams.
Mark my words.....Aaron Curry WILL be the Rams 1st Rd pick!
*I hope*
