Drafting a player from West Texas A&M is unusual, picking two players in consecutive seasons form West Texas A&M is down right shocking. Maybe they asked Keith Null for his advice before taking DE Eugene Smith with their second pick of the sixth round, or maybe they just think they can get a better crop of developmental players in the draft's dwindling rounds than what the crop they've signed off the street recently.
Needless to say this pick was on nobody's radar.
So what about Sims? He's athletically gifted, possessing the raw skills you want from a sixth round pick. In fact, he used to play safety in his junior college days.
Definitely a project player. Like Null, this is a guy who could have gone undrafted.
Yeah, I'm a little antsy about a linebacker.
On second thought...Sims is listed at 6'5" 248 lbs by CBS and NFL Draft Scout. His official West Texas A&M page lists him at 6'6" 238 lbs. He used to play safety. Anyone else wonder if this guy might move to OLB with the Rams?

Could have
had Dekoda Watson with that pick, if I’m not mistaken. Whoever they like better out of Dwyer or Blount would have been a good value pick, too.
yep
one pick ahead of us.
dixon, who went early in the round, would have been an interesting pick
a nice 3rd down, goal line RB for the Rams

Roger Goodell
won’t let the Rams pick a goal line back. SJ39 is on his fantasy team next year
Steve Nash plays D!!
Yeah
I like Dixon. I was surprised he fell as far as he did.
Nope...he's just a Pac-10 player
Once again…we don’t draft Pac-10 talent.
The Pac is usually an offensively minded league and we need offensive help. But no.
OLB
I hope that is the case that Sims is an OLB project….I’m not stoked with grabbing guys here that could have been FA pickups, but I haven’t watched the film…Blount would be a great late pick in the 7th round if he falls to us. I’d sure like a DT too. and maybe another WR. Jarret Brown or Tony Pike in the 7th wouldn’t be too shabby?
i like
dekoda watson for olb. as for running back, i would love to get stafon johnson. we already have our bruising back and stafon johnson is the guy that doesn’t do one thing great, but everything well. he can catch, run between tackles, pretty fast, pretty strong. he’d be the perfect backup.
i don't
want blount on the rams, hate him
"Twin-headed infinite swirling vortex of grotesque suckitude known as Tony Clark and Eric Byrnes"
I find it hilarious that a team that just rid themselves of Incognito
would want another hothead like Blount.
Come on guys, there are guys with character issues, and then there are complete idiots who will bring a team down.
saffold has been well known
for the past couple of months too. he was projected to the colts in the first, which is only 2 picks above lol but still the first.
Blount was not a well um
until that punch media got hadlines on. So, I dunno – a cheap shot artist on the Rams; but, if he were to never come unglued (like Incognito guido), then he would be an excllent complement bruising back to S Jax, IMO. Need a psychosis analysis on Blount to be blunt!
If a late round guy acts up on your team
you just cut him and move on. There’s no risk there.
if we can get
osi and westbrook then that would be perfect… we just picked ANOTHER corner, i’m not very happy with that… i wanted dekoda watson.
Let's grab
Stafon Johnson? Undrafted. Wtf?
block! building kick! exploooooooosion!

Free agent signings are being reported for other teams.
Are the Rams doing anything?
This pick is an example of a wasted draft year being the first overall pick and with a few extras we had in the later rounds because this guy would have gone undrafted and could have been invited to camp and see if he could make the team.They need to go get Johnson from SC in a hurry before anyone else spots him
If practice makes perfect....
Yet nobodies perfect.....
Then why practice ???
