Why the Rams Draft was a Failure

[sosa39rams]

Do you guys even pay attention to roster changes, or do you bash just for the purpose of belly-aching? Didn't we lose about 15 players to injury last year? I am pretty sure we had 10 DBs lost to injury alone. When you have to replace that many players, you have to cut someone to keep the roster at the limit. Are you gonna cut an experienced player or are you gonna cut a low round draft pick that you are developing? I remember reading several articles were they had to put low round draft picks on waivers to sign yet another CB.

Sometimes draft picks aren't "picks don't turn out", but the team is forced to cut players due to injuries that are not IR or Injury Settlement types.

I didn't hear not 1 rookie put aside until they couldn't anymore and were forced to cut him for a vet..

Jabara Williams > Poppinga, Leber, Chamberlain
Jermale Hines > Craig Dahl, James Butler(WTF? Spags had a man crush on this guy for no reason)
Mikail Baker > Rod Hood, Brian Jackson, Nate Ness, Kendric Burney, Chris Smith
Jonathon Nelson > James Butler

Exactly. It had absolutely nothing to do with being "forced" to cut a rookie to make room for a new veteran, and everything to do with Spags and Devaney simply doing everything they could to keep there jobs, even if that meant exiling nearly the entirely 2011 draft class.
