Three lullabies in an ancient tongue
My Rams have the #2 & #13 picks in the first. My guess is that Les Snead will trade the #2 pick and move down to 4 or 6 to take Sammy Watkins and stockpile more picks. I'd love to get Anthony Barr at #13 but I'm worried he might go earlier. We also need a FS, OL and another CB. Don't be surprised if the Rams also draft a QB sometime in mid-to-later rounds (Andy Murray, A.J. McCarron, Connor Shaw) to upgrade our current back up (Kellen Clemens) and perhaps as an alternative to Sam Bradford if he can't stay healthy.
Rams are an underrated team stuck in the toughest divison in the NFL right now.
I'm a 49ers fan & we need an edge pass rusher, Cornerbacks & a WR & possibly a safety as Donte Whitner will probably be too expensive to re-sign. We've got 12 picks, so that should give some maneuvering room on draft days 1,2 & 3. But Harbaugh & Co. are hit & miss with picks, especially WR's.

I don't really have a team (and I refused to jump on the Seahawks bandwagon), I just like high powered offensive schemes that you see on saturdays. So the natural choice is Chip Kelly and the Eagles. The early mock drafts have the Eagles picking FSU's Kelvin Benjamin, which makes sense. He's got the size 6'5" that DeSean Jackson doesn't have and the separation speed that Riley Cooper (who's probably gone as a free agent) doesn't. It'd be another weapon in that Eagles' arsenal.
If anyone is interested / has the time, this is a cool way to kill a 5-10 minutes:

It's a mock draft simulator where you pick for a team and the computer simulates the other 31 teams. There are a couple of "Big Boards" you can use to rank the players. I thought it was a pretty cool. Gone through a few times with the Panthers. Something I found particularly interesting is, despite glaring needs at WR and OT, I could never bring myself to draft a player that wasn't one of the top four or five available regardless of need and almost position (would never take RB or QB) cause it wasn't good value. Maybe I won't yell at the television as much at this year's draft.

Very cool! Fun to experiment with it. Thanks for this. Rep headed your way! :thumbsup:
Seahawks! Been a fan since day 1. Would love OL depth DL depth maybe a TE.
Niners. Gotta gotta gotta go corner in the first. Culliver is a shithead and is probably going to get suspended/cut for hitting a guy on a bike and leaving the scene. I think we have 6 picks in the first 3 rounds. I'd like to see them trade up and draft Justin Gilbert and maybe take a wr in the 2nd. Cooks if he's available.
Or really trade up and get a QB???

I hate the Niners but I have to wonder what you are thinking by this comment. The Niners are set at QB for years to come with Kaepernick....unless you were being facetious.
Truth is, after the display Clowney put on today, if the Texans are dumb enough to pass on him for a QB, the Rams would be even dumber to pass on him to take an OT. He's the prize of the draft....best player by a longshot.
BCT
Pucker Up Butter Cup.
By the end of Russell Wilsons career they will have as many titles as the Niners. Bad deal for you guys.
Clowney is already being talked about as an NFL Hall of Famer. Other than QB, the edge rusher is the most impactful position in football. So the Texans should pick Manziel #1 overall lol. I don't think there's going to be any middle ground with Johnny Football. Either he's going to light up the league or he's going to be a colossal bust.
Don't be ridiculous. No team is winning 5 titles in the next 15 years.

They will since Goodell has turned the league into pure entertainment. The Seahawks are his new cash cow. It's laughable that people think these games are legit anymore.
I for one hope Mr. Cock is correct.
Russell Wilson's career may not last 4 or 5 years if Clowney goes to SF, AZ or St Louis.
He is not going to end up at any one of those places anytime soon. SF drafts too low, As does Arizona and St Louis has other needs.

If Clowney is there at #2, the Rams will likely get some attractive trade offers and move down. If Houston takes him, rumors are running wild that the Rams might take Johnny Manziel and trade Sam Bradford to Minnesota to work with Norv Turner. I really think it's a smokescreen to hedge our bets to make another team possibly offer a trade to move up to #2. I really see the Rams taking an OL....either Matthews or Robinson as their first pick in the first round and then go after a safety (either Clinton-Dix or Prior) with their 2nd pick. I'd be happy with that....especially if we get some extra picks out of it. Personally, I'd take Sammy Watkins with the 2nd pick if we can't trade it. He's a dead-cinch lock to be a perennial pro-bowler.
