Sick and f******g tired of this bullshít, is it too much to ask to give Brady some decent targets. Last year when we drafted Dobson, if was the first decent deep/outside threat we picked for Brady since Moss. And the first WR that we drafted that was 6 feet or taller. But sure why have only two small slot WR's when you can have 5.

ya im pretty shocked ye didnt trade up and take a marquise lee or jordan matthews in the 2nd and take another in the 3rd-5th cant see ye wining the sb with what ye have

NFL network turned into the "will he, won't he" channel for about 20 minutes there.

ESPN have been at it since 5:01pm.

At least we drafted one Tiger in Gaines after the season they had. We should use one of our million 7th round picks on another in Sam but St Louis didn't strike me as the most liberal city in the world.

We had to do it, well done Rams.

Can always rely on Jeff fisher!

Ryan apparently told Boyd he'd draft him if he could. The Jets draft was going quite well. Have a guess at when Rex likely got his own way on an offensive pick? :pac:

Just saw the Jags took my second binkie in Storm Johnson. I really like that pick.

Falcons got terrific value getting Smallwood in the last.

An absolute steal. The world has moved on but the NFL clearly hasn't when a player of Sam's quality slips to the 7th, poor Combine or not. Sam got it done when it mattered.

If we were going to make a move at WR, I expected a Dobson style WR to be picked up. I also considered the possibility that we might not move for a WR, because TE is a bigger priority. But to then go and get yet another small slot WR when we already have enough? Well that just brings things down to a whole new level of fúckwitery really.

HigginsJ · 11-05-2014 12:07AM

Falcons got one of the steals of the draft by taking Yawin Smallwood, utterly baffling that he dropped to the 7th round.

The Big Easy · 11-05-2014 12:08AM

Plus the Rams are one of the few teams who could do with some national and global coverage. We've been treated as largely irrelevant since the greatest show on turf days.

i think ye needed more than that to be honest i think ye needed help on the d-line obviously but reciever was right up there i think ye needed at least a top 3 round pick plus another reciever or even a deanthony thomas (i though ye should have grabbed sproles in fa)

i think yere coming back either way yeve done excelent work with the picks off of the rg3 trade

HigginsJ · 11-05-2014 12:11AM

Lonnie Ballentine (which is something to do with cooking as far as I am aware) is Mr. Irrelevant

Unbelievably good value

i always wonder whether a player is happy to be drafted last pick or weather they'd rather go udfa

JaMarcusHustle · 11-05-2014 12:12AM

Some big UDFA names who I never thought would go undrafted.

Antonio Richardson, Brandon Coleman, Shayne Skov, Christian Jones.

I think (& I stress think) that you can be financially better of if a team wants you as a priority UDFA

Dear St. Louis Rams,

Thank you

NFL fans everywhere

I flipped out after our last draft move and totally missed that.

Fair play to the Rams and it's a great day for Football. It should always and only ever be about Football. This has cheered me up now, after the Pats píssed me off earlier.:)

Don't get me wrong Paully, I think it's a very decent pick at this point. Supplements having him behind Geno and Vick, he's athletic and can extend plays with his feet. Needs to work on his conditioning as he's been less than conditioned in the past. Has a strong arm, not amazing accuracy though. Had some great targets to throw to at Clemson as well which really helped his numbers.

When Michael Sam is cut all the stories will be back so don't get too excited. It's merely a delay.

JaMarcusHustle · 11-05-2014 12:17AM

Marcus Roberson undrafted also.

Neither of my value binkies were drafted either. Hope Morgan Breslin lands in a good spot. High hopes for him.

cant a team offer whatever they want to an undrafted free agent so there could potentially be a mini bidding war

franglan · 11-05-2014 12:20AM

If you're an UDFA you decide who you compete and sign for.

I think we had a good first round, after that I don't know, we've picked up a lot of developmental defensive backs but Williams and Fisher have a good record there and I'd trust them. Even though he made Finnegan the highest paid player on the team last year.

Ogletree was a very good pick in first round last year but Austin has proved a bit of a reach at 8.

JaMarcusHustle · 11-05-2014 12:22AM

Wow, not a single Texas Longhorn drafted. When had that happened before?
