This time of the year everyone is an expert, makes the right choices in their mock drafts, and has a crystal ball that can see how draftees will turn out over the next 3-4 years. Let's be honest if one would look at the 250 or so players drafted each year how many realistically have above average careers?
If you observe the Rams roster as an example the turnover every two years is astonishing. Also follow rookies from 2-3 years ago, not many are still in the league let alone with the team that drafted them.
This year the stakes for the Rams brass is a bit higher. A potential lame duck coaching staff, a front office that has overstayed their welcome, and a new owner. Throw in a bad economy and a franchise in a baseball town, and they have some hard work ahead.
If the Rams are to turn around the last few years they need to nail at a minimum their first three draft picks this year. What I mean these first few picks need to contribute immediately, and for the next years to come.
Ram On!
