“Tim Tebow” at the front of your QB list.

No one is talking about case keenum… he is officially statistically the best qb in college football…him on the second round and suh in the first and we will be golden.

player than Carriker was at N. Tho one point you should mention, Carriker has had a career of injuries and this was known when he was drafted. Suh has had one injury. Can you tell I voted Suh?!

Hard to say how Carriker could do if he had a full season under his belt, I still think he’d be
a beast for us.

people need to consider with drafting a DT that early in the draft, is that is one of the hardest position to come in and have an impact early in a career. Rarely are you able to find yourself a Sapp. I too like Suh. i mean the guy is unbelievable, how many DTs chalk up INT’s like this guy? i don’t think I have ever seen it.
BUT, I don’t think he is the pick for us. In life timing is everything, and I don’t think the timing is right for us to draft a DT. Our interior D-line has played well this year (with the pieces we have). They have attacked gaps well, have clogged running lanes well and have done a very good job with minimal pass rushing from the DE position. i will go over what I think move should be in my next post. Right now I have to eat some glorius food!

are OT if we don’t keep barron. WR without a doubt, but the two more important ones are LB and def DE.
It is becoming more and more clear that Barron is going to be gone next year and that Smith will be making the move to LT, ready or not. Yet I think we can find one in round 3 or 4. Our DT’s have actually looked good. I swear i would have never thought the production we would be able to get out of the group we have. I have to attribute that to the coaching. The reason our secondary is having trouble and drives our able to be sustained against us, is nothing more than lack of pass rush. It is killing us on Defense. Other than that I would say defensively we have played solid (regardless of the Scoreboard). Chris Long (I will never forgive Parcells for drafting Jake Long, the first time I had ever wanted my team to draft an OL in the first round, minus Pace, and Parcells swoops him in the only pick before us) still has a way to go,but development takes time, especially when you are an athletic freak of nature (Mario Williams). Our two best DE’s are averaging 34 years of age and we are maximizing tread left on those tires (not a whole lot left). Our back ups are nothing to write home about. This has to be a point of emphasis early. Our future depends on it.
Yet if it have it my way, there are two LBs that have impressed me beyond any other players. Rolando McClain, the MLB for Alabama. This kid is pure man. An absolute beast in stature. He hits like a truck, organizes well, and plays the run as good as anyone in college football. He is a menacing force at the point of attack. What impresses me more than anything is his intelligence. Rarely are you gifted with both physical ability and intelligence like this. More impressive than that is that he is the only MLB I have seen that has free reign to call defensive audibles. Its an impressive sight to watch. But, we need him on the outside, which Saban lines him up occasionally. I will be watching for more situations with him attacking the OT.
The next one is a guy that i have been saying needs to be a Ram for the last two years. Brandon Spikes, yes the eye raking WWF star that plays football. Regardless, he is the most talented LB I have seen since Miami star Ray Lewis. He organizes incredibly well, he reads the run better than McClain, and he drops into coverage very well. Although he is not blazing fast he covers sideline to sideline and uses his surprising quickness to hit the point of attack. The thing that I like abut him is that Florida moves him all over the place and he has shown the ability to play the SAM almost as well as the MIKE. Meyers and off coordinator Strong love to let him go at OTs and blitz left and right off the edge. Besides his versatility, and intelligence, the guy is 6’3 and 253 lbs.
The thing is, I am imaging one of these two lined up next to Laurinitis and talk about a tandem to wreck havoc for years to come. In addition, LB’s can have an immediate impact, especially for rebuilding teams. They can help disquise weaknesses until they can be addressed. And talk about bang for your buck, LB’s demand less money.
If we can trade down, acquire more picks, pay less money for our picks and come out with one of these guys, would be ecstatic. Then we can use our early 2nd round pick and the additional 2nd round pick to address the DE spot amongst others.

…that getting Barron and Bell the hell outta Dodge will actually IMPROVE the O-Line. Both these guys drag down the team. Let’s try Smith, Brown, Setts, Goldberg and Incognito up front and rely on Karney and the TE(?) to help with blocking duties. IF Avery stays healthy and we get back Robinson, we may be OK at WR. So I see two priorities: QB and D-Line. It’s just MHO that a team generally needs a star calibre QB to win divisions, playoffs and championships. So, we’ve either got to invest a high draft pick (and make a good selection) or spend gobs of $$$ to try to snake a quality QB from another team. Next, our LB’s and secondary cannot shut down opponents alone. We need a Monster (or two) on the D-Line that can stuff runs, bat down passes, and get sacks. We cannot rely on older guys like Little and Hall to carry the load any longer. They’re pretty much done by the 4th quarter. Maybe, if we’re lucky, Gibson comes back strong and Ryan works out for us. I think Chris Long will be no more than adequate (ever), but maybe that’ll be ok. Carriker’s a Bosworth – goodbye. So, with the O-Line and WR’s I mentioned above, a good QB, and SJax we should be able to score some points. And with improvements on the D-Line, we should be able to cut down on points allowed.

Someone tell me why we picked him if we aren’t going to see what we have. Was it a completely stupid waste of a pick?

“Who you got?”
“I got no one.”
“Null.”

C’mon, Rams. There had to be someone who thought he needed to be given a shot, we’re screamin headlong towards 12+ losses, we can’t pick a QB next year without throwing this kid out there and seeing what he does.

You mean Jesus Christ, right?
