Yes, it would. Actually I'm kinda hoping that Quinton Groves will be there for us in the 2nd round, but we'll just have to wait and see. With Dorsey, AC, and C. Ryan we would have a very talented and diverse interior D-Line for years to come. Go Rams!

WHAT SAY YE?

Carriker most likely the best at UT. I like him better at DE than I do at NT. I really like Dorsey he has shot up my board.

I don;t think AC would be better then Dorsey at UT and I don't think AC would be as productive as Jackson at DE. IMO.

Yes, he saying that Carriker's best ability comes at UT not NT, which is right. But as you said, Jackson would be better at DE than Carriker and same situation with Dorsey, so NT is the logical spot. But as we saw last season, Carriker can shift along the line on given plays depending on what the offense shows. Some plays he can slide out to end to help the run, on another he can go back inside to NT and then UT when Dorsey is taking a quick breather. It is not like they would split time, Haslett would find ways to get them both on the field at the same time and utilize them to their best potential.

Eh, hard to say. Dorsey is still not my preferred top option with the second overall pick, but if the Rams draft him, I'd rather see Carriker play at nose tackle rather than outside at defensive end. So in that sense, it works.

The problem is I think there will be wide receivers of better value than Lawrence Jackson available at the top of the second round. Do you pass on one of them to take a player of lower grade in Jackson so that you can address the need you chose not to address a round earlier? Not sure that's a sound draft strategy.

Unless a guy like Merling, Groves, or Campbell slips to us in round two, I'm not sure I like the value of a DE at that spot right now. I think the value at WR will be better. If the Rams go Dorsey and then best WR available, that means putting off DE to at least the third round. And I'm not incredibly impressed by the mid-round talent at that position, which again may be this team's most significant need.

I think Carriker would be much better served finding a position and sticking there rather than becoming a jack of all trades but a master of none.

I agree with Nick, I would like tpp see AC add weight and play NT only.

Ok nick...

DE Little
NT Ryan
UT AC
DE Gholston

Add WR in second, I would not like this...I would still take J Long and Lawrence Jackson in the second.

Not so much. First, while I think AC can play NT, I don't think that's his best position. Second, if the Rams go DT, DE in the first two rounds, that means they will have to put off drafting a WR or an OL until Round 4, which I don't think is the best strategy.

Frankly, if the Rams are going to take Dorsey in Round 1, I think I'd go WR in Round 2, OL in Round 3, and hope that we can get a pure situational pass rusher in Round 4 (maybe Bruce Davis).

Assuming Little regains his quickness off the edge, pairing him with Gholston would give us the quickest pair of ends in the league and almost certainly solve our pass rush issues. At the same time it allows the question of Carriker back outside to be put to rest. Then James Hardy in the second, I for one would be ecstatic.

Re: Would this work for you?

IF you replaced Jackson with Groves, then I wouldnt complain too much. The only reason I disagree is that we're taking two DL in the first two rounds when we have plenty of other needs on the field.

But I for one still think we should take a DE in the first round.

DE Long (or Gholston)
DT Ryan
DT Carriker
DE Little

Problem is, Groves has been looking more and more like a late first rounder since the combine. To be honest, I've seen some project him as high as the top ten, though I think that's a stretch. Still, seeing him selected by Washington, Tennessee, Jacksonville, San Francisco, or even Miami at the top of round two if they pass on an OLB in round one wouldn't surprise me.

Re: Would this work for you?

Lets just say Scott Wright is right.

DE Little
NT Ryan
UT AC
DE Long

Add: Second Round WR Mario Manningham in the second.

Third Round I would add Cliff Avril OLB

Instead of Avril, we could get the best OL available too.

But I really like that DL right there. Seems deadly. :l

The first problem I think to many are putting WR WAY TO HIGH
on the priority list! We have 8 wide outs on the roster already!

The rams got there DTs last year now we need some speed rushers
if we went V Golston in 1 and Q Groves in 2 that would be great!!

We saw what a good pass rush can do to even the best passers
in the league. If they don't have time to throw they don't look so good!!
That makes are DBs look great!

The best WRs in the league are useless if the QB dose not have time to
throw!!

I think we need a RB that has some speed 4 a change of pace RB!
We have NO RB with SPEED! Let SJ pound them! Then hit the speed
HE COULD GO ALL THE WAY!! LOL!!

Re: Would this work for you?

Randy, we have no WR on our roster right now that is a deep threat. In Al Saunders system you need at least one and we have none. Zero. Zilch. Nada.

Holt's knees will not allow him to play much longer. I personally would hate to see our WR corp made up of Bennett, Hagans, Caldwell, and whoever. I'd just load at least 8 in the box and stop Jackson.
