Rams, 49ers Amongst Teams Set to Control the Draft: NFL.com
What the Rams do with two first round picks tonight, at this point, is anyone’s guess.

Rams Likely to Go Safe Route: St. Louis Post-Dispatch
When the Rams turn in the name of the No. 2 overall selection tonight, I’d be surprised if it isn’t an offensive tackle. Greg Robinson, Jake Matthews, take your pick. But the Rams will probably play it safe. They will make a sensible, adult choice and buttress an offensive line in need of reinforcement. That would be my expectation, anyway.
