Who Should We Choose!?!?

[DaRamsBaby]

if all the projected top ten are off the board when we are on the clock, including michael huff, should we go with ernie sims, chad greenway, tye hill, haloti ngata, if he is still on, it would be a really tough choice if i was in the rams gm, lol

[raleigh_ram]

None of them...Manny Lawson!!!

[Rip32]

I would go with Lawson too,Great athlete

[RamsFan16]

My draft board:

1. Vernon Davis
2. Michael Huff
3. Chad Greenway
4. Jimmy Williams
5. Tye Hill

Greenway may be the choice though if Huff and Davis are gone.

MAnny is so fast. He may not have the bulk now to be the ideal tweener, but he will gain some weight. With his height and speed-- I can see him all over the field tackling, deflecting, and covering. I think he could start at SSLB.

or maybe we would trade down if cutler is still on the board with the ravens and get their first and plus there 3rd or 4th and we could still get chad greenway or manny lawson

[rams_fan81]

what about Bobby Carpenter?!?!?!?!?!?

[RamsFan4ever]

My draft board:

1. Vernon Davis

i know who he is but his draft stock has dropped alot

[RamsFan16]

Who cares about stock. The only good thing about stock is buying cheap and selling high. If you want to see how good a player is put in game tape of him.

If that were the situation, I'd either take Ngata or try to trade down and target Cromartie, Pope, or Carpenter.

Cromartie has a great combination of speed and size, but he is an injury risk and didn't see as much game time as most college prospects coming out. Otherwise, he'd be rated higher.

Pope tied with Klopfenstein for the third fastest 40 (Davis and Scheffler were 1 and 2), tied for second in the broad jump, and tied second in the vertical jump at the Combine. When you talk about the type of player that doesn't come along very often, I think fast 6'8" giant with leaping ability and soft hands qualifies! Can anyone say endzone target? If not for Vernon Davis, I think Pope would be getting a lot more hype.

The reason I like Carpenter over some of the other linebackers available is that it seems to me he fits our need perfectly. At the Combine, he ran better than Greenway and pretty comparably to Ryans but at 15 lbs. heavier and with an ankle that still wasn't 100% (he broke it in the last game of the season). He's good against the run, and our run defense has been awful. Guys like Lawson and Wimbley are basically pure pass rushers who are considered liabilities against the run. Bobby did line up at RDE sometimes, and he has proven to be an effective pass rusher both there and at his regular SLB spot. He tallied 8 sacks last year. He has been consistent since his rookie year and has proven himself capable of doing basically everything that we need.

Haven't heard about Carpenter. Ngata worries me because of his weight, which he has trouble controlling.
