Comments on: Rams 2012 to do list http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/02/15/rams-2012-to-do-list/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Fri, 24 May 2013 18:06:42 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: dragonrider2300 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/02/15/rams-2012-to-do-list/#comment-1585672 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 17:31:00 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=251058#comment-1585672 The best scenario for the Rams is to trade down their # 2 pick to another team in the top 5-8, and get an extra 1st round pick in 2012, as well as a basket of mid-round picks this year and next year. The Rams should take WR Blackmon with their earliest first round pick, and a left tackle with their next 1st round pick. 2nd/3rd/4th round picks should go to Guard and RB first-it is way past time to draft a decent RB who can be groomed as an eventual Steven Jackson replacement, as Jackson probably only has a couple good years left, at best. The interior of the Rams O-line has been a liability for several years, despite free-agent additions. Fisher wants to have a strong running game so expect a lot of draft picks to be spent on the O-line and finally, an early/mid-round RB pick.

Later picks can address the rest of the positions-basically every position but kicker needs an upgrade so the ‘best player available’ philosophy can work for them later in the 2012 draft. Providing Sam Bradford a WR with field stretching speed (almost totally missing for many years), improving the O-line to pass protect better, and improving the running game will likely be their top priorities. The Rams should pursue at least one more deep threat WR in free agency-they will have to overpay but Bradford desperately needs weapons.

Everyone likes to dump on Bradford, but he had a porous offensive line and WR/TE that could not catch the ball, and no deep threat. Joe Montana could not have succeeded with the Rams last year.

But he won’t. Damn – it sux being a Cowboys fan now. I’ve been one since 1966 and never seen such a poor foreseeable future. On the positive side, it’s a great time to hate the Cowboys though…
