Poll: St. Louis Rams fans favorite draft pick

PrintThe St. Louis Rams have taken a break for the Memorial Day holiday weekend...and the lockout, which is like one big long rainy holiday weekend. At this week's informal player-led practices, a few players were able to make an impression based on reports trickling out of the sessions, including some of the Rams 2011 draft picks.
From a fan's perspective, denying the players' team organized workouts has also denied us the opportunity to better get to know the Rams new draft picks. Turf Show Times will be talking to a few of those picks in the coming days. For now, I thought it might be a good opportunity to talk about a few of the Rams most recent draft picks, since 2008, to get a better sense of the fan favorites.
Admittedly the list below is incomplete. And it's almost unfair to put a franchise QB like Sam Bradford on the list. Of course he's a favorite draft pick, look at what he's done already. We'll refine this further after today's vote.
Who is your favorite St. Louis Rams draft pick?

Honestly, Donnie Avery is still my favorite
I remain adamant that he was a good pick. Obviously, he hasn’t had the best impact, but I still believe he’ll be a good one for us for years to come.
Pettis is gonna be a good one. BLAM!
breakout year for avery
hasnt lost his speed, getting healthy and will be our big play wr.
My two favorite teams, the St. Louis Rams and whoever's playing the winers.

ok well in my opinion
Sam was the most important…but favorite to me will be Fletcher he’s the diamond in the rust and I like those stories….

honestly it's sam
but I went with JL, cause he was a 2nd rounder and I wanted that Maluaga or whatever his name was, and the FO totally proved me wrong.

Me too....
….not on the vote, cause I like SAM. But I also wanted us to take Maualuga…LOL!
The truth is always the right answer....

Same
I’ll always remember crumbling in my friend’s apartment when I saw us pass on Maualuga, been eating crow ever since :)
Wish Jerome Murphy was on this list though. He plays exactly how I’d want my corners to play: a little reckless, at high speed, hard hitting in run support, and feisty. If we let him go I can see him having a successful career as a starter, or if Bartell (another favorite pick) goes down I’d love to see Murphy step in this year and blossom.
All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence, and then success is sure.

Sam Bradford and it isn't even close
The St.Louis Rams have waited something like 30-40 years for a 1st round draft pick that was a QB, and I would bet in their entire history they have never drafted a QB #1 overall. Bradford is the most important player on the team and easily has the bightest future. Bradford could seriously change the landscape of St.Louis sports for ever and has the appeal and potential to be the next Stan Musial in terms of fan acknowledgement, respect and love. It’s no wonder he’s winning this poll by a land slide.
+1
Nuff said.

Just gonna point out the poll says fan favorite
so its all opinion based soo I clearly see why you chose Bradford but others may have different opinions.
hehe
has the bightest future
I’d call the spelling police, but that’s not even close, have to call spelling homeland security.

I went with Fletcher
Because he was a 3rd round draft pick which makes it even more impressive. He has a chance to be a shut down corner and he is a good tackler in run support. Great pick!
I also think Hoomanawanui could end up being on the list if he can stay healthy and is used more often.
Bradford was a great pick but really couldn’t go wrong. Suh would have also been a great pick.
agree completly
Obviously Sam is the most important draft choice in St. Louis Rams history but I went with Fletcher because he is becoming one of the best 10 corners in the NFL and was only a third round choice. If Hoomanawanui’s ankles hold up he will be close because of draft value.
See: Couch, Russell, Akili, Carr and countless others in the grave.
Suh would’ve been a terrible pick cause he’s not SAM.
But I also like Fletcher a lot. Even though he’s dust in the wind compared to SAM.
The truth is always the right answer....

What if we took a chance on Vick and picked up Suh
I’d had taken that too…. but I 100% agree with the Bradford pick.
That's treasonous Mr. Richter.
And blasphemous to talk about SAM that way.
The truth is always the right answer....
by Pekka for Predator Pontiff on May 28, 2011 8:22 PM CDT up reply actions
It would have worked as well
Longterm I’d definitely want Sam over Vick
Sam's the man...
but Amendola should be on the list.
well people will be voting with a bias
since Sam’s picture is right there, it’s like campaigning at the polling place. j/k

Aw, come on...
I mean really, was there any doubt Sam would be the fan’s favorite number 1 draft choice. Get real!
Go Rams!

James L
I mean the obvious pick really is Bradford, but honestly any other pick in that situation would have been the most bone-headed move any front office could possibly make in the history of anything ever. James, for where he was drafted (and the overwhelming want for Maulauga), has emerged as that fire-breathing, intelligent, defense-leading MLB we were sorely missing for such a long time.

A whole lotta folks wanted us to take the person with the name I will not mention here.
You’re right, it would’ve been bone headed not to take SAM. I also wanted Maualuga…and was very wrong.

right! our top 10 defense we had last yr was directed by none other than animal jr.!
he’s the one who lined everybody up, and made sure everybody was where they were supposed to be! JL is our sam bradford on defense!! plus his #55 authentic jersey looks KILLER on me!!
JL55 is undeniable cool.
But he is just a hair on VanRam’s back compared to the one that is KING SAM.
The truth is always the right answer....
by Pekka for Predator Pontiff on May 27, 2011 6:33 PM CDT up reply actions
shoulda done it without Sam and JL
the two Qbs will no doubt be most popular and its hard to argue against voting for Sam.
He is the symbol of our bright future.
If those 2 weren’t there I’d go for Fletcher. Demonstrated shutdown potential last year according to PFF and rebounded excellently from a horrible injury.
Bradford to Onobun!
I'd go with Saffold if those two weren't there.
Or Gilyard. Meh, Saffold wins I guess.
The truth is always the right answer....

J L
You can tell that the defence is in good hands with Animal Jr. He is slowiy becoming the Enforcer for the defence. He was one of the reasons that we climed out nof the cellar.
We sure need...another Dick Bass!
Go RAMs !!!
