Now that the Rams season is officially over (except Steven Jackson's Pro bowl) It's time for a Mock:
Rams to Be Re-signed:
DT Cliff Ryan- Had a good year and is a RFA
TE Dan Fells- Pretty good TE showed upside
DE James Hall- Veteran that is still a productive back up
FS OJ Atogwe- FRANCHISED- Defensive playmaker that is needed
DE Leonard Little- I just do not understand why we let him go when he is our best pass rusher. Yea Chris Long may do better on the left side but then who will play on the right side? I think we should keep Little and see what happens during the season just in case someone loses there starting DE and wants to trade. But letting go of Little is a huge mistake and will make our line worse.
Marc Bulger-No he is not a free agent but we will re-structure his deal
Free Agents:
OLB Chris Gocong- With spoon now in Phili; Gocong is probably out. He has connections with Spags and the eagles so this is a good possibility.
CB Roderick Hood- Veteran presence should come cheap. An improvement over John Wade. Also Hood can start.
OT Ryan CookHe has started at RT before for the Vikings. If Jason Smith moves to LT than we need a RT so let's see if cook can be that guy.
RB Jerious Norwood Fast back. Change of pace to Steven Jackson

QB Mike Vick I fear this is going to turn into a Mike Vick thread which im hope it doesnt. Let me start by saying he is not the STARTER. Marc Bulger is the starter. The move is not for Bulger and Vick to be on the field at the same time (so no wildcat). If you noticed something about the offense its very straight forward nothing really to keep the opposing D-coordinator working overtime for. Our biggest trick play is probably a Jackson draw. We need something to make the the opposing Defenses guessing. Bringing in Vick in the redzone like the eagles do is a good thing. But also on some 1st or 2nd down's make him run an option with Jackson or let him throw it deep cuz Bulger can't do that anymore.
2010 Draft (5 rounds)[/COLOR]
Round 1 (1)- DT Ndamukong Suh Nebraska
Obvious pick
Round 2 (33)- TE Jermaine Gresham, Oklahoma
Alternate Pick- QB Colt McCoy, Texas
With Gresham's injury he may drop to the top of the 2nd round and he would be a great pick-up. But in all likely hood he will go in the 1st and if he does we should get Colt McCoy.
Round 3 (65) RG Mike Johnson, Alabama
Run blocking guard. big 6-5 305 pounds. Struggles vs. the pass thou but explodes off the ball
Round 4 (97) DE Austen Lane, Murray State
A DE with good athleticism and good size 6-6 260. Powerful. However he needs to improve his technique and needs some coaching. Spags can teach him about getting penetration.
Round 5 (129) WLB AJ Edds, Iowa
average WLB. He can tackle and has some speed. IF he doesnt become a starter he can play some good special teams.
Round 5 (late 5th from eagles) CB Brian Jackson Oklahoma
Decent CB. Played D in the Big 12. is iight in coverage good size 6-1 200 pounds.
With this draft we have 3 immediate starters in Suh, Johnson and Gresham and 1 soon to be starter in lane
