Draft

Well the draft has come and gone. Many of the TV experts have rated the Rams draft from excellent to average. One thing to remember if all these GM's and draft gurus were so accurate they would be working for NFL teams not networks.

Quick Observations:

It really takes about 3 years to accurately grade a draft. As a whole the Rams are not very good right now due to their ineptitude to draft well.

2008 Draft sure wasn't sexy, with a couple of late round LB's, and early round OG's.

The Rams with a lameduck coach drafted for need as opposed to best player available (BPA).

Hard not to like how likeable the Long family is, no doubt that money will not change Chris Long.

It is boring but the Rams needed offensive line depth in a huge way so it appears they got great value with Greco & Schuening.

Thank goodness the Rams addressed the WR group.

Happy trails Dane Looker & Marques Haggans.....

Bold Predictions:

Early Doucet, WR taken by the Cards will come back to haunt us. His stats if Boldin leaves Arizona will be comprable to a young Torry Holt.

Dorsey will be a pro bowler in the next two years.

Long will be the defensive leader by mid season.

Cliff Ryan will NOT be the answer.

Ram On!
