Undrafted free agents: Derrick Locke still undecided

One of the more popular rumors floating around last night was that the St. Louis Rams had agreed to terms with Kentucky RB Derrick Locke, a speedy playmaker who was considered one of the best undrafted free agents available. He did not agree to terms with the Rams, or any other team. 

Asked via his Facebook page, Locke said that he had not agreed to a deal with the Rams. Earlier this morning he did post that he would announce which team he signs with. Stay tuned. 

I hope that Locke does choose the Rams. He's the kind of playmaker that can an offense tough to defend with his speed and versatility. 

Even if the Rams do sign Locke, don't look for them to pass on Darren Sproles...or a couple other veteran free agent possibilities. I'm told that Sproles is a priority for the Rams. Locke would be a great add, but the Rams need an established player to pair with Steven Jackson, i.e. a little more of a sure thing. 

Even with Sproles and Jackson, the Rams could still use another running back. Personally, I think a power, short yardage guy would be ideal, someone to compete with Keith Toston and Chauncey Washington

I'd prefer Locke

over Sproles. Have Locke be the change of pace back and put the dollars to get a HB who can be #2 and move the pile if (god forbid…) SJ goes down…

Yeah...either way, it looks like the Rams overall are trying to give themselves more versatility and

depth at the Running back position. I would suspect that they will be looking for a solid power back there as well.

Rams get Locke

The ESPN Rumor’s section just posted this…

Omar Kelly of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel (citing Mike Marchant of 790 ESPN radio) reports that Kentucky running back Derrick Locke will be joining the St. Louis Rams. Locke was the No. 9 prospect on ESPN’s list of undrafted free agents.
