PrintSo it begins again... We'll have lots more thoughts, afterthoughts on the picks tomorrow and over the week ahead and it'll be topic du jour on Turf Show Radio this Thursday, 7 p.m. Central. RIght now, we're just a few minutes away from starting all over again, and the Rams have the second pick in the third round, the second pick of the day...unless they swing a trade, which Devaney has mentioned as a possibility.
If they keep the pick, there are some intriguing picks to be had. Georgia Tech DE Michael Johnson is still on the board. He's an athlete in need of good coaching to bring out his full potential. The Rams have had success with DEs in the third round before (though different leadership), Leonard Little was a third round pick in 1998. Another player still on the board who's on lots of top 50 prospect lists is Vandy CB D.J. Moore. Either of those guys would probably be my pick here, but draft boards are a crazy thing when you get to the third round. We'll see.

Take one of those two now and then trade up for Barden
We were trying to trade up for Lauranitus and we couldn’t but he ended up falling to us anyway.
I think thier gonna go
DE-Micheal Johnson or WR-Ramses Barden, if they go Johnson then they’ll try to go Barden in the 4th, a RB in the 5th (Kory Sheets), CB in the 6th (Joe Burnett) and QB in the 7th (Graham Harrell)
I don't get all the Ramses Barden infatuation.
If it weren’t for him being 6’6" and with Nicks, Robiskie, Massaquoi, and Britt being off the board, would there be this much pining for him?
He’s about as big a risk there is at the WR position and is a virtual unknown. I wonder how many people who are demanding the Rams pick him in the 3rd have actually seen him? He’s big and that’s all he is. He’s not particularly fast or quick. He’s not a great route runner. He’s just big.
There are better receivers on the board right now and even if you demand a “big receiver” why not pine for Louis Murphy?
Desperation is what is driving this Ramses Barden infatuation. The guy can probably be had in the 4th round anyway.
Did I ever tell you about the time Brasky and I went horseback riding, but there weren't any horses around? Anyway, Brasky throws a saddle on my back and rides me around Wyoming for three days. Well, wouldn't ya know it, my stamina increased with each day, and I develop tremendous leg muscles. So anyway, Brasky decides to enter me into the Breeders Cup under the name Turkish Delight. And Im running in second place, and I'm running, and I break my ankle. So anyway, they're about to shoot me. Then someone from the crowd yells out, God bless him, Dont shoot him, he's a human.
been looking into barden
The more I look the more I like. He’s a real smart, real big wr. Pretty quick for having such a long stride. He had 50 td in college in a a lesser div, but so did rice and fitzgerald and he destroyed their college numbers. I dont actaully think there is a better 3rd rounder on the board, but who knows
He also has enormous hands which is helpful for a WR
I watched him in that little college workout contest on ESPN and I liked him a lot.
Brandon Lloyd kicked everyone's ass the year he was in that competition.

This is where I have to say
I completely trust Billy Devaney.

Yes I'm hoping he knows what he's doing
Although I think we could have gotten this guy in the fourth
Justin King
King was on nobody’s radar last year in the fourth round.

i think 2nd day is more of how the specific team values the player…. a guy could be 4th round or 5th round… these not taht much disparity… excpet when you’re Oakland and you have a senile guy running the team
oh ok… I thought I got some kind of warning for calling Al Davis senile
by heinzketchup on Apr 26, 2009 9:46 AM CDT up reply actions
no
no warnings for saying something that’s true
by Ryan Van Bibber on Apr 26, 2009 9:53 AM CDT up reply actions
haha
ok… i go to school in the bay area and all I get are oak and sf games.. and Ive been forced to watch what Al Davis is doing to the team

Braylon Edwards
i would have rather traded our third round pick fo him.
i was thinking bigger guys and I thought williams would be gone by our 4th round pick

The Bengals just love guys with questionable motivation, don't they?

All 3 have great talent but yes very questionable but thats the Bungals isn’t it… all 3 could be great or busts
It's a series of bad picks, considering they essentially have a lame duck coach
Marvin Lewis is going to be pleading with the players to save his job from day one. Terrible atmosphere to try and bring up guys like Andre Smith.
Maualuga should be fine though, he can make this his team on defense.
"Attaway to stomp 'em. Stomp the piss out of 'em. Stomp 'em when they're down. Kick 'em and stomp 'em. Attaway to go boys. Pound that old Budweiser into you and go get them tomorrow." -- Joe Schultz
It's funny you said that
because espn was putting him on a pedestal this morning.
Guys like Herm Edwards and the rest were going on and on about how Andre Smith wouldn’t be a problem since Lewis was such a great motivator. They kept saying Smith’s problems weren’t criminal but simply he made a few bad decidions. What? A few bad decisions? Right. Those “few bad choices” just happened to probably be the biggest “decisions” of his life. And he royally screwed each of them up. Well, I guess you could argue he didn’t since he was still drafted 5th overall, but he was drafted by the Bengals. There’s not a much worse situation for him to be in.

not to use cliches' but he's a high motor guy
he showed remarkable improvement last year. He always seemed talented, but seemed to finally tap into his athleticism and turn it into usable skills on the field. he’s known to be a pretty quiet kid. he was one of the parade of embarrassing arrests on the Iowa team w/ that DUI and landed in the doghouse for a while, but was the good citizen going forward.
good tackler, i wonder if he couldn’t play some safety.
I like Fletcher
if they reached that much for him it means they really wanted the guy, so they must have seen something that Kiper or other journalist didn’t see. He’s tall, he’s physical I think it’s what you need against Housmandzadeh, Fitzgerald or Crabtree. Because think about it we got some really good possession receiver in our division.
That's what im thinking
Barden, Iglasias, or Murphy
hell no
we need a huge DT that will hit the spot lol, like a 330 lbs run stufer

Roy Miller
how about Roy Miller from Texas… he’s only 310 but apparently is relaly strong and is a “high character” guy
by heinzketchup on Apr 26, 2009 9:54 AM CDT up reply actions
i like that idea
this is a bad draft for DTs though
by Ryan Van Bibber on Apr 26, 2009 9:55 AM CDT up reply actions
sure
thats not a problem we can feed him get him up to 330 lol
by james535 on Apr 26, 2009 9:55 AM CDT reply actions
i know VanRam
im just hopping that Devaney has spoted a telented DT that is under the radar ,but he dont have to be a super star, just huge to let our DE and LB free up
by james535 on Apr 26, 2009 10:03 AM CDT reply actions
Sean Smith Utah
Realization: If Miami didnt trade up… I feel like we would have drafted Sean Smith, which would have made my draft weekend
Devaney
He’s the man, weve been missing that since 2000
by james535 on Apr 26, 2009 10:09 AM CDT reply actions
i dont know about him
i would be a little bit sceptical to pic a 6ft 4 CB , he sounds more like a basketball player lol, tall guys are not very cordinated to play CB he would be mixing up his feet trying to stay with shifty receivers
by james535 on Apr 26, 2009 10:15 AM CDT reply actions
Let Miami have him
i like the CB we just picked to be honest
by james535 on Apr 26, 2009 10:17 AM CDT reply actions
Ther goes a 2nd WR
there might be a small run staring
you dont know how much that hurts me
i live in boston
by james535 on Apr 26, 2009 10:21 AM CDT reply actions
WR
i feel good that there will be a WR in the 4th that I will be satisfied with
I think RB in the Fourth
Lets Face it the Rams are not going to throw the ball 30 to 45 times a game anymore. And having a big WR’s would help for redzone. But that doesn’t mean any of these guys left will be that guy.
Steven Jackson Needs Fresh legs behind him
Steven needs someone that has really fresh legs behind him. Spags will want 30 to 45 carries a game out of the Run
Our 3
are probably Barden, Iglasias, or Murphy, all still on the board
GIANTS!!!
they take Nicks now they take Barden… those selfish New Yorkers
what is up whith the Pats?
why is this team alowed to make so many pics , god dam thats just not fair, i dont care how many fucking coaches they sell every year ,thats Beletcheks trick ,every year he sells his coaches and gets draft pics , what ta fuck
by james535 on Apr 26, 2009 10:26 AM CDT reply actions
think about this
we get one #2 pic, the Patriots get 4 #2 pics

no wonder every year they are the favoret to win the superbowl
by james535 on Apr 26, 2009 10:30 AM CDT reply actions
Other teams are starting to catch on though, Look what the browns did this year. They kept trading down and stock piled a lot of picks in the later rounds to help the Entire team.
oh hold on
they just said that there are more WR better then the one just taken
by james535 on Apr 26, 2009 10:32 AM CDT reply actions
yeah
i like Murphy>Iglasias. He’s 6’2 runs a 4.4 and is a deep threat, we tried to get speed in FA with Nate Washington, Murphy is a very similar player
sounds good
6’2 and runs 4.4. 40 that is good we need that lol
by james535 on Apr 26, 2009 10:36 AM CDT reply actions
i thought that the only WR that ran a 4.3 40 was the guy that Okland drafted
by james535 on Apr 26, 2009 10:39 AM CDT reply actions
The timers were messed up
some had him clocked from 4.32 to 4.4, the official number from the draft was 4.43
wow
Patriots got another 2nd next year for the 3rd they just traded
WR in the 4th and DT in the 5th… ???? what if Jennings the RB is there in th4 5th though..
DT I like are Baker from Hampton and Sammie Lee Hill- Stillman
I'm hoping for
RB Kory Sheets in the 5th, I think he has amazing potential
rams need to be aggressive and trade up to get iglesias or murphy!!!

Now our "D" is good....? C'mon
We’ve added Butler, Laurenitas and some DT to a defense that gave up 29, count ‘em 29, points per game last year. We’ve still got an aged Leonard Little trying to play DE, a too small Chris Long on the other end, and a guy named Carriker at DT who has shown nothing in the way of pass rushing or stopping the run in 2 years. We’re still saddled with Pisa at one of the LB slots and the perennially injured Tye Hill and unreliable Fahkir Brown in the backfield. Our defense is basically still crap, maybe a little better crap than last year, but crap all the same. So what do we do to fix it? Draft a “big-name” OT with the 2nd overall pick when there were plenty of other ones of similar capabilities available in round 2 or 3, and use rounds 5 & 6 for an unknown WR and QB. As a result, this fall the Cards with Kurt Warner and Larry Fitzgerald will demolish us twice. The 49er’s with Crabtree and Gore will bomb and run all over us in both games. And the Seahawks with Hasselbeck and Housh will bomb us twice while new LB Aaron Curry makes us wish for years to come we’d drafted him. I’ve been a Ram’s fan for 40 years and this draft appalls me. Jay Zygmunt, Scott Linehan and Jim Haslett must be snickering right now.
I feel like I've read this before....
Did I ever tell you about the time Brasky and I went horseback riding, but there weren't any horses around? Anyway, Brasky throws a saddle on my back and rides me around Wyoming for three days.

So, you want to move the converstation here?
That’s fine. I’ll delete your FanPost and we can all discuss everything here?
Fair? Or do you want to keep it open in the FanPost section?
