Could the Rams find Texas defensive backs "drool" worthy?
Remember last month when St. Louis Rams GM Billy Devaney mentioned a potential second round defensive back that the team was "drooling" over? None of the defensive backs that the Rams have spent some quality time with so far are second round picks. Today, we venture another guess, based on a couple players at the University of Texas pro day yesterday.
Aaron Williams and Curtis Brown both potential second round picks, with Williams getting a slight edge in which Longhorn will be off the board first. Williams might appeal to the Rams for his potential to play safety at the NFL level, and given this year's safety class, the best option may be a converted cornerback. Here's Tony Pauline from SI.com on Williams:
Williams was very fluid and fast moving sideline-to-sideline, which is more evidence to those who feel safety is his best position in the NFL, not cornerback, the spot he played for the Longhorns.
Williams ran a 4.52 forty at the Combine, furthering the idea that he's not quite fast enough to play corner. He ran a 4.44 at his pro day, and the contingent from the Steelers watching him drew more than a casual mention, but they could be just as interested in CB Curtis Brown. Williams has been considered a fringe first and second round prospect by most. He certainly is drool worthy if you consider him a safety.
IRONY ALERT: You will recall that Williams was the one who ended Sam Bradford's 2009 comeback with the Sooners, sacking him and re-injuring his shoulder.
Curtis Brown didn't finish his workout yesterday, dealing with a lingering stomach virus. A former receiver, he has ball skills better than most corners in this class...something the Rams could use in a cornerback. Here's Brown's scouting report from MTD. He's certain to be drafted in the second round. But, is he drool worthy?

I hear he might be able to play safety two. Longhorn pride baby.
Is that great man formally known as Tevin T. Broner, also I'm on twitter T_bron
Thats why I think that if J Jones were converted to CB he would be great
Smart-good hands (duh!!)-loves to hit-right size and fast
Well it started
when I was investigating with the Hardy Boys and got a raging clue
Needed: Ping Pong table. Anyone wanna donate $78 million?
Ha! I got my clue in 2009 when I thought I was watching a Keystone Kops flik--
But it was a Rams game playing defense. But we held them pretty good until the opponent scored their 8th touchdown.
I would love to grab a CB/S in the second who can contribute NOW
But lets take a look at what will be available and what position do we need to fill in right away. We picked up Fletch and Murphy in the 3rd so i would assume we wont go 1st or 2nd at DB and 3rd might seem ideal to pick up an OLB so 4th to 6th looks like the right spot to go after one and since we have Johnson too idk if its a real NEED compared to OLB RB OG DL really I mean i would like the help but ahead of the previous IDK I wouldnt want to make that call.

NFLPA Reacts to NFL Press Release
March 30th, 2011 Matt Loede Posted in News
Aaron Wilson of the National Football Post reports the NFL Players Association has reacted to the NFL announcement from earlier today that it’s about to deposit $177 million toward player benefits with the decertifed playes’ union saying the league should announce that the lockout is over in its next press release.
"NFL players would like to thank the NFL for issuing a press release touting their contractual and legal obligations," the NFLPA said in an e-mailed statement. "If it wasn’t for players, namely John Gordy, players wouldn’t have any benefits. The next press release that comes from the NFL should announce that the owners have lifted the lockout, the ultimate benefit to players and fans."
