Round 4: Rams get a NT & open thread

God, this is a slog. The fourth round just beginning. The biggest mistake of the draft, pushing it back to 4 p.m. start time on Saturday. It's tough to predict these rounds, but there is still plenty of talent available.
Here's sort of a draft related thought. Now that the Seahawks have pulled the franchise tag on LB Leroy Hill, he's a free agent. Hmm, probably out of the Rams price range, but nothing beats nabbing a rival's castoff. He could replace Pisa. Here's a scouting reportfrom Field Gulls (via Buffalo Rumblings) when it looked like Hill would be a free agent. Of interest:
"Leroy Hill is excellent at what he does. His one superstar, otherworldly, stands-out among-the-standouts skill is picking through traffic and flying downhill to the ball carrier. Simple as that sounds, it enables vital abilities. Run stopping: check. Blowing up the screen: check. Blitzing: check."
Can you really have too many LBs?
The Rams pick Dorell Scott, DT, Clemson. Scott has the size to plug running lanes, and at 312 lbs can still add 10-15. The knock against Scott has been consistency, sometimes missing "the sum of his parts" and some struggles with technique, things that can be addressed through good coaching, something the Rams have lacked for awhile before now. I think that's a good situation for Spagnuolo and Flajole.
I'm pumped about Scott as a fourth round pick. Here's some more info.
Here's a scouting report from earlier in the spring at Mile High Report. Key takeaways:
Clemson has a reputation for good defensive line coaching. Recent Clemson DL products include Gaines Adams and Phillip Merling.
His struggles to start his senior season were team-wide, resulting in a coaching change that improved his performance.
He's a NT with some pass rush upside. Hmm, a la Fred Robbins from Spagnuolo's last job in NY?
Scott was convinced to give up ROTC to play football. He almost quit school to get a job to help pay his mother's medical bills, but was convinced to return to campus at the urging of his high school coach. From a profile in The State:
On his slippage to start the '08 season:
But much like the team’s first-half descent, Scott sensed his pro stock dropping when he was largely a nonfactor because, he said, he tried to do too much to compensate for the absence of injured tackle Rashaad Jackson.
Kiper on his attributes and talent:
He’s a big body, and that’s what you want. For a big kid, he’s got athletic ability, there’s no question about that. ... He’s not the consummate guy; if he was, he’d be a first- or second-round pick. But he has a chance to be a major contributor because of the need for that type of player and for how scarce they are at the college level.
Liking this pick. Sounds like he needs coaching, but his character doesn't seem flawed at all. He stayed to finish his degree after the season too.

hopefully we trade up and try and take Murphy cuz hes the only WR still left that could be a good pick

Another DT was essential. Glover isn’t on the team anymore, so we need someone to play in that rotation and spell Carriker and Ryan. Ryan has shown you can get late value at this position, too – that’s exactly what we’re doing.

So, therefore we did draft a WR
In the 5th round. His name is Laurent Robinson. Plus, we get an extra pick.
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.

I don't see them drafting one at all
The next pick or the one after has to be a RB like Ringer Steven Jackson has not proved he can be a 300 plus carries RB. You have to get some game changing legs behind him to Rest him. That Steven only carries 200 to 250 a year.

I dont know if Im alone here but
I think we made a huge mistake not taking Sanchez. Steve Young pointed out that this team has no leaders and no one that wants to just step in and take on the St. Louis Rams. I think taking him at #2 would have been my pick with us either A. If we could trade Bulger for a 2nd-3rd-4th Round do it but if not B. Keep him and let him play out his last year here and let Sanchez groom a little. I thought with BEATTY and BRITTON sitting there with that 2nd round pick we could have gotten my guy Britton, who I think is going to be real good. So then we get a true leader of the future at our QB position with Britton starting at RT. The rest of the draft we will just have to see but Like others I trust Devaney

what u guys expect, were supposed to pick up the next Holt in the 5th Rd. U get special teamers and prospects in the later rounds. Of course he doesn’t look like a great receiver if he did he would’ve been gone earlier in the draft.

Actually...
You can find starters in the later rounds if you make smart picks. If there aren’t any receivers you like than address another position. There was better talent at other positions. They could have waited and got this guy anyway. Just my opinion but we’ll see what this guy can do. Hopefully he’ll help us out

Could have been better
Another young recevor to add to the rest, at least he’ll fill out the depth chart. Still a backup RB would have been a better pick but at this point its iffy if we can find anyone better than Darby. I wouldn’t be against picking up another linebacker or DT next round if not a running back.
by Swatsky on Apr 26, 2009 2:56 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
I concur… I think another position would have been a better pick… I can name 20 other teams who didn’t pick as high as us that have done a better job drafting players… Alot of higher ranked players fell into our laps in rounds 3-5 and we didn’t take advantage of it like other teams did… I am sure they - the Rams- will be so happy what what they got but isn’t everybody.. I think Devaney flopped in this draft but thats my opinion.. not saying its right but I think we all were thinking after every pick that there was a better player at multiple positions than the player we ended up taking..

Holt and Pace were cut.
You get nothing if you cut players.
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.

I knew they would screw this pick up with a QB…Hoyer, Harrell…how do we pick Null…should have taken jennings

How can you not Pickup a Guy that is 235 plus with speed, That only Requires some coaching. Two backs with speed and size To smash D Lines. The Rams are crazy

If Jackson goes down we got No impact backs to cover. And history says Jackson will miss some time.

He isn’t even ranked on ESPN…are they out of there minds? They could have had this guy walk onto the practice team…Now i’m really pissed. The Rams have had a terrible drafting day

Right now Jennings is rated number back left

well if u look at the time jackson lead the league with yards from scrimmage he had a fullback so maybe they think with karney here he will play a whole season. but still they should have taken jennings
by RAMS WE DA BEST on Apr 26, 2009 4:08 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
you can’t count on Jackson to hold up for 300 plus carries.
by Damacles11 on Apr 26, 2009 4:09 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I would like to see Jackson stay at around 250 carries that would keep him healthy

I just hope
Devaney and Spags know more than we do (and they sure should). The first two picks and the fourth look good to me. I don’t know why the took a CB in the third. They must feel Hill and King are not going to make it. I was really hoping they would take a WR there while there were some good ones left. After the first four the rest just look like gambles or throwaways to me.
Surely they are going to pick up a vet WR before camp. If Burress is allowed by the league to play this year, any chance Spags would try to get him here?
by andyrose on Apr 26, 2009 4:36 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Not unless Burress is willing to clean up his act, Spags has made it clear he will not tolerate Character Issues.

Is Laurinaitas going to be Katzenmoyer or Hawk ???? I would take a lineman, CB, or WR from Ohio St. but the RB’s and LB’s haven’t had a good track record lately…
J. Smith is going to be ok but the rest of it I am not sold on…
