Toston had over 2700 yards rushing and 27 touchdowns while playing four years at &lt;strong&gt;Oklahoma State&lt;/strong&gt;. The &lt;strong&gt;Rams&lt;/strong&gt; also failed to fill their two outside linebacker positions in my opinion and really missed out by not taking &lt;strong&gt;Ricky Sapp&lt;/strong&gt; in the 5th round.

The Rams biggest splash was made by holding onto the top pick and selecting Sam Bradford. Sam Bradford now becomes the face of the franchise. I still love this pick. You need a quarterback to win in the NFL and Bradford fits that bill and more. Bradford is a great athlete, a winner, has played against some of the top competition in the country and along with his strong arm and tremendous accuracy also appears to be a leader.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Rams followed up the Sam Bradford selection with some nice picks that filled some needs. In the second round the Rams were able to get the massive 6'5" 315lb OT Rodger Safford out of Indiana. The Rams now have bookend top tackles with Jason Smith and Safford and their top job will be to protect Bradford. In the 3rd round the Rams selected a large press corner Jerome Murphy from USF. Murphy has a ton of experience playing 51 games while at USF. Murphy along with Bradley Fletcher give coach Spagnuolo two press cover corners. The Rams lack pass rush and appear to want to make up for that with strong press coverage of the ball. If we can get a little more coverage from the start of plays perhaps we can get a little more time to get to the quarterback more. In the fourth round the Rams finally selected a playmaker that we all have been waiting for. The selection was the lightning quick Mardy Gilyard from Cincinnati. Gilyard had almost 2500 receiving yards over the last 2 seasons at Cincinnati. Gilyard should also take over kickoff return duties as well. Avery and Gilyard will be hard to stay with if we can get them on the field at the same time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Later in the draft the Rams made some questionable selections in my opinion. I feel the Rams failed to address their need of a top catching tight end. The Rams are also still very thin with quality at LB. Hopefully the selection of George Selvie may help with our lack of a pass rushing DE. We could also have used a bigger receiver like Riley Cooper who I thought would have been a nice selection. The Rams also failed to get a quality backup or speed back to spell Steven Jackson. Overall I believe the Rams had a very nice draft but I believe they missed on a couple opportunities to even have a better draft. Overall I would give them a Grade of B.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7749327450428627362-8195278730341367275?l=stlouisramfan.com%2Fblog' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7749327450428627362/8195278730341367275/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7749327450428627362&amp;postID=8195278730341367275' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7749327450428627362/posts/default/8195278730341367275'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7749327450428627362/posts/default/8195278730341367275'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stlouisramfan.com/blog/2010/04/2010-st-louis-rams-draft-picks.html' title='2010 St. Louis Rams Draft Picks'/><author><name>stlvinnie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00641079276692291395</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='00766713212809503758'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7749327450428627362.post-8998288474788368660</id><published>2010-04-25T21:59:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2010-04-25T22:00:18.669-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Josh Hull'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Josh Hull Penn State'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rams pick Josh Hull'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Josh Hull PSU'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rams draft Josh Hull'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='St. Louis Rams Select Josh Hull'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rams Josh Hull'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Josh Hull LB'/><title type='text'>St. Louis Rams Select Josh Hull, LB PSU</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;Josh Hull&lt;/strong&gt; seems like the type of late round player coach &lt;strong&gt;Steve Spagnuolo&lt;/strong&gt; and GM &lt;strong&gt;Billy Devaney &lt;/strong&gt;like to select.

Selvie is a very light pass rushing defensive end. Selvie played in 51 games for &lt;strong&gt;USF&lt;/strong&gt; and gathered 29 sacks. In 2007 Selvie was dominant and recorded 14.5 sacks. Selvie has never seemed to quite recover from a ankle surgery in 2008. Selvie could be a great speed pass rusher that the &lt;strong&gt;Rams&lt;/strong&gt; can possibly rotate in on third and long. This could be the type of situational player that &lt;strong&gt;Steve Spagnuolo&lt;/strong&gt; can get the best use out of.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7749327450428627362-7510933894349929872?l=stlouisramfan.com%2Fblog' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7749327450428627362/7510933894349929872/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7749327450428627362&amp;postID=7510933894349929872' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7749327450428627362/posts/default/7510933894349929872'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7749327450428627362/posts/default/7510933894349929872'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stlouisramfan.com/blog/2010/04/st-louis-rams-select-george-selvie-de.html' title='St. Louis Rams Select George Selvie, DE USF'/><author><name>stlvinnie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00641079276692291395</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='00766713212809503758'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7749327450428627362.post-1473128513160428462</id><published>2010-04-25T21:51:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2010-04-25T21:52:27.041-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nick Saban'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rams Select Marquis Johnson'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rams draft Marquis Johnson'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Marquis Johnson'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Marquis Johnson Alabama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rams pick Marquis Johnson'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CB Marquis Johnson'/><title type='text'>Rams Select Marquis Johnson, CB Alabama</title><content type='html'>I like the selection of &lt;strong&gt;Marquis Johnson&lt;/strong&gt; a 5'11" 190lb CB from Alabama.

Mardy Gilyard is lightning quick more than he is fast, think Steve Smith. Mardy put together back to back 80+ catch seasons at Cincinnati with 11 touchdown receptions each year as well. Gilyard averaged almost 15 yards per reception in his college career. If the Rams can get Gilyard and Avery on the field at the same time we should be able to make some plays. In addition to Gilyard's quickness and receiving skills he is a kick returner. He averaged 30+ yards on kickoff returns and took two to the house.

Murphy is a 6'195 lb press corner out of the Big East conference.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From NFL.com - Murphy was a productive two-year starter for the Bulls. He is a tall, lean secondary defender with deceptive strength. He is a tough hardnosed perimeter defender who lacks great quickness and speed to play out on an island in man coverage's. Murphy is a physical corner who can jam and reroute receivers off the line of scrimmage and he's a solid run support defender. He is an instinctive player who leverages the ball well in coverage as well as maintaining proper body positioning defending the run. He can be inconsistent in block protection and wrapping up in the open field, but he is very aggressive for the cornerback position. Murphy is a good football player who has some limitations but should contribute as a rookie in a Cover 2 defensive scheme.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7749327450428627362-7979182265910652803?l=stlouisramfan.com%2Fblog' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7749327450428627362/7979182265910652803/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7749327450428627362&amp;postID=7979182265910652803' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7749327450428627362/posts/default/7979182265910652803'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7749327450428627362/posts/default/7979182265910652803'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stlouisramfan.com/blog/2010/04/st-louis-rams-select-jerome-murphy-cb_24.html' title='St. Louis Rams Select Jerome Murphy, CB USF'/><author><name>stlvinnie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00641079276692291395</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='00766713212809503758'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7749327450428627362.post-8121374177624827440</id><published>2010-04-23T20:09:00.001-06:00</published><updated>2010-04-23T20:11:05.522-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='St. Louis Rams'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Jerome Murphy USF'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rams take'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rams select'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='St. Louis Rams draft'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rams draft Jerome Murphy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Jerome Murphy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rams draft Murphy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rams draft'/><title type='text'>St. Louis Rams Select Jerome Murphy, CB USF</title><content type='html'>The Rams selected CB Jerome Murphy a CB from USF with the 65th overall pick in the 3rd round of the 2010 NFL draft. Murphy is a 6'195 lb press corner out of the Big East conference. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From NFL.com - Murphy was a productive two-year starter for the Bulls. He is a tall, lean secondary defender with deceptive strength. He is a tough hardnosed perimeter defender who lacks great quickness and speed to play out on an island in man coverage's. Murphy is a physical corner who can jam and reroute receivers off the line of scrimmage and he's a solid run support defender. He is an instinctive player who leverages the ball well in coverage as well as maintaining proper body positioning defending the run.

He lacks the massive stature that teams are looking for in a left tackle and may be lacking a step in quickness to play on the left side but should be able to find a home on the right side or even inside at guard. He has above-average initial quickness and does a good job of getting a fit with his hands to control and steer opponents on by the hole or pocket. He understands blocking angles and does a good job of recognizing stunts and twists up front and keeps his head on a swivel when in pass pro. While he doesn't really jump off the screen at you, the end result is that he consistently gets the job done and often makes it look pretty easy.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7749327450428627362-2684653225005444059?l=stlouisramfan.com%2Fblog' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7749327450428627362/2684653225005444059/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7749327450428627362&amp;postID=2684653225005444059' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7749327450428627362/posts/default/2684653225005444059'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7749327450428627362/posts/default/2684653225005444059'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stlouisramfan.com/blog/2010/04/st-louis-rams-select-rodger-saffold-ot.html' title='St. Louis Rams Select Rodger Saffold, OT Indiana'/><author><name>stlvinnie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00641079276692291395</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='00766713212809503758'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7749327450428627362.post-1248063108239572413</id><published>2010-04-23T19:43:00.002-06:00</published><updated>2010-04-23T19:50:09.773-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='St. Louis Rams'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rams select'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rams draft needs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rams draft picks'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rams best available'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='who will Rams select'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rams draft pick'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rams draft'/><title type='text'>What Will The Rams Do At #33</title><content type='html'>With Jimmy Clausen and Colt McCoy still on the board the Rams should be getting plenty of calls throughout the night to trade. The question is, is it worth moving down. Is the player the Rams want already there ready for the picking?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Rams can go several ways on Friday. Do they get a weapon like Golden Tate to help Sam Bradford? Do they get Sergio Kindle OLB from Texas to play next to James Laurinaitis. Do you take a new pass rushing DE like Everson Griffen to replace Leonard Little and to bookend with Chris Long. I believe the fourth choice would be to take their highest rated OT on their board however I think #33 is too high to take any of the remaining tackles. It would be interesting to find out if the Rams were sitting on Jahvid Best RB California before the Detroit Lions moved up to select him number 30 overall.

I believe Sam Bradford was the correct selection for the St. Louis Rams. He will now become the face of the St. Louis Rams. Sam will need quite a lot of help to get the Rams where they need to be. The Rams will need to continue to be productive in rounds 2 through 7 of the remaining 2010 NFL Draft. The below scouting report on Sam Bradford is from DraftCountdown.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Strengths:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prototypical height with a frame that is still filling out --- Very intelligent with a good feel for the game --- Extremely accurate --- Outstanding touch, timing and anticipation --- Quick delivery --- Consistently throws a pretty spiral --- Decent athleticism --- Nice footwork and moves well within in the pocket --- Shows great ball handling ability --- Makes good decisions and takes care of the ball --- Tough and will stand tall against the rush --- Calm and composed --- Very competitive --- A team leader both on and off of the field --- Excellent work ethic --- Super productive. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Weaknesses:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Durability is a huge concern --- Just average arm strength --- Mechanics are not textbook and drops down to three-quarters at times --- Will have to adjust to working from under center --- Must learn to read defenses and go through progressions in a pro style offense --- Does not have a good feel for pressure --- Won't make a lot of plays with his feet --- Limited  experience --- Stats were  inflated by a spread system.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7749327450428627362-2954989278656565167?l=stlouisramfan.com%2Fblog' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7749327450428627362/2954989278656565167/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7749327450428627362&amp;postID=2954989278656565167' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7749327450428627362/posts/default/2954989278656565167'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7749327450428627362/posts/default/2954989278656565167'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stlouisramfan.com/blog/2010/04/sam-is-man.html' title='Sam Is The Man'/><author><name>stlvinnie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00641079276692291395</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='00766713212809503758'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7749327450428627362.post-933020031501228510</id><published>2010-04-21T22:12:00.002-06:00</published><updated>2010-04-21T22:27:47.429-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='St. Louis Rams'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='NFL Draft'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sam Bradford'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='NFL Draft What to watch for'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2010 NFL Draft'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2010 NFL Draft What To Watch For'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ben Roethlisberger trade'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ben Roethlisberger'/><title type='text'>2010 NFL Draft What To Watch For</title><content type='html'>There are some great story lines and trade possibilities leading up to the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft. In addition to following the St. Louis Rams I am very interested in how the entire first round will play out. I am very interested in the items below:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Will the St. Louis Rams trade with either the Washington Redskins or Cleveland Browns prior to the draft or even after they make their selection?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Will the Pittsburgh Steelers really attempt to trade two time Super Bowl Champion Ben Ben Roethlisberger?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Will the top playmaker in the draft C.J. Spiller go in the top 10? I believe he is a perfect fit for the Seattle Seahawks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe the Kansas City Chiefs really want out of the #5 slot but will they be forced to just take the BPA?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have heard the experts but do the teams actually value Bradford over Clausen, Suh over McCoy, and Okung over Williams?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Will the Oakland Raiders once again reach and make a horrible top 10 selection?&lt;br /&gt;Will the New York Jets create an insane secondary by selecting Taylor Mays?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seattle and San Francisco have 4 picks within the top 17 selections in the draft. Both teams have an outstanding chance to greatly improve their roster. How much further ahead of the Rams will they pull with these selections?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Denver seems like a logical fit for Dez Bryant but will a team trade up and beat them to the punch?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Which top 10 talent will free fall, Berry, Spiller, Haden, Clausen?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Will Tim Tebow find himself selected in the first round?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What are you looking forward to watching, let us know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Draft Day is here ENJOY!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7749327450428627362-933020031501228510?l=stlouisramfan.com%2Fblog' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7749327450428627362/933020031501228510/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7749327450428627362&amp;postID=933020031501228510' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7749327450428627362/posts/default/933020031501228510'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7749327450428627362/posts/default/933020031501228510'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stlouisramfan.com/blog/2010/04/2010-nfl-draft-what-to-watch-for.html' title='2010 NFL Draft What To Watch For'/><author><name>stlvinnie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00641079276692291395</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='00766713212809503758'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7749327450428627362.post-3479399273404295145</id><published>2010-04-20T19:20:00.004-06:00</published><updated>2010-04-20T19:34:01.112-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2010 Rams Schedule'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='St. Louis Rams Regular Season Schedule'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='St. Louis Rams schedule'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rams Schedule'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='St. Louis Rams 2010 Regular Season Schedule'/><title type='text'>St. Louis Rams 2010 Regular Season Schedule</title><content type='html'>The &lt;strong&gt;NFL&lt;/strong&gt; released the &lt;strong&gt;2010 NFL schedule&lt;/strong&gt; tonight live on &lt;strong&gt;NFL Network&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;NFL.com&lt;/strong&gt;. We already knew that the &lt;strong&gt;St. Louis Rams&lt;/strong&gt; had one of the easier schedules with a SOS (Strength of Schedule) of .449, now we know the exact order of the games which can directly affect success or failure of an &lt;strong&gt;NFL&lt;/strong&gt; team. The &lt;strong&gt;Rams&lt;/strong&gt; face a much easier schedule and order of schedule in 2010 than they did in 2009. Last season the &lt;strong&gt;Rams&lt;/strong&gt; started with two straight road games. To make matters worse the &lt;strong&gt;Rams&lt;/strong&gt; first four games had them facing Aaron Rodgers, Brett Favre, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees, thanks &lt;strong&gt;NFL&lt;/strong&gt;. 2010 is a completely different story however.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;NFL&lt;/strong&gt; has opened its heart to our beloved Rams and has given them the best chance to succeed. If you throw out games against the &lt;strong&gt;Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints&lt;/strong&gt; and the &lt;strong&gt;San Diego Chargers&lt;/strong&gt; the &lt;strong&gt;Rams&lt;/strong&gt; will play teams that had a combined record of 89-224 (.397) in 2009. It does not get any easier that that. The &lt;strong&gt;Rams&lt;/strong&gt; play four last place finishers from 2009. So the teams alone give the &lt;strong&gt;Rams&lt;/strong&gt; a shot to win some games, now lets look at the order of the schedule.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Rams&lt;/strong&gt; not only get to start the season at home in the &lt;strong&gt;Edward Jones Dome&lt;/strong&gt; against the rival &lt;strong&gt;Arizona Cardinals&lt;/strong&gt; minus &lt;strong&gt;Kurt Warner&lt;/strong&gt;, the actually get to play three of their first four games at home and four of the first six. With early games against the Lions and Raiders the &lt;strong&gt;Rams&lt;/strong&gt; may actually be able to put a win or two on the board early. Week three will be interesting as &lt;strong&gt;Rams fans&lt;/strong&gt; will get to see &lt;strong&gt;Donovan McNabb&lt;/strong&gt; in a Washington Redskins uniform, one week prior to his return to play the Philadelphia Eagles. The &lt;strong&gt;Rams&lt;/strong&gt; once again have their bye week during week 9. Weeks 12 through 14 will be the toughest as the &lt;strong&gt;Rams&lt;/strong&gt; play three straight on the road including a game against the New Orleans Saints. Overall as a &lt;strong&gt;Rams fan&lt;/strong&gt; you have to be pretty pleased with this schedule.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2010 St. Louis Rams Regular Season Schedule&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Week 1 – Cardinals at Rams – 3:15&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Week 2 – Rams at Raiders – 3:05&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Week 3 – Redskins at Rams – 3:05&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Week 4 – Seahawks at Rams – Noon&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Week 5 – Rams at Lions – Noon&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Week 6 – Chargers at Rams – Noon&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Week 7 – Rams at Bucs – Noon&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Week 8 – Panthers at Rams – Noon&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Week 9 – Bye Week&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Week 10 – Rams at 49ers – 3:15&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Week 11 – Falcons at Rams – 3:05&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Week 12 – Rams at Broncos – 3:15&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Week 13 – Rams at Cardinals – 3:15&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Week 14 – Rams at Saints – 3:05&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Week 15 – Chiefs at Rams – Noon&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Week 16 – 49ers at Rams – Noon&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Week 17 – Rams at Seahawks – 4:15&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7749327450428627362-3479399273404295145?l=stlouisramfan.com%2Fblog' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7749327450428627362/3479399273404295145/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7749327450428627362&amp;postID=3479399273404295145' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7749327450428627362/posts/default/3479399273404295145'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7749327450428627362/posts/default/3479399273404295145'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stlouisramfan.com/blog/2010/04/st-louis-rams-2010-regular-season.html' title='St. Louis Rams 2010 Regular Season Schedule'/><author><name>stlvinnie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00641079276692291395</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='00766713212809503758'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7749327450428627362.post-3550495395712911010</id><published>2010-04-20T17:34:00.002-06:00</published><updated>2010-04-20T17:38:11.158-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='St. Louis Rams'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2010 Rams Schedule'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='St. Louis Rams schedule'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rams Schedule'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rams regular season schedule'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='St. Louis Rams 2010 Schedule'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rams 2010 Schedule'/><title type='text'>St. Louis Rams 2010 Schedule</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;St. Louis Rams 2010 Schedule&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;2010 St. Louis Rams Regular Season Schedule&lt;/strong&gt;

were 6-42 over the last three years and need to upgrade their talent and they basically hired a new coaching staff heading into 2009 so why do I still question their desire to win? It is simply because I have not seen nor heard of a plan. What is their plan? We heard about the four pillars but then the team discarded &lt;strong&gt;Will Witherspoon&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Chris Draft&lt;/strong&gt;, while keeping &lt;strong&gt;Leonard Little&lt;/strong&gt; on the roster. The &lt;strong&gt;Rams&lt;/strong&gt; want to get younger and rebuild but they went out and added aging free agents. During the free agent period the St. Louis Rams have signed QB &lt;strong&gt;A.J. Feeley&lt;/strong&gt;, TE &lt;strong&gt;Darcy Johnson&lt;/strong&gt;, DT &lt;strong&gt;Fred Robbins&lt;/strong&gt;, CB &lt;strong&gt;Kevin Dockery&lt;/strong&gt; and C &lt;strong&gt;Hank Fraley&lt;/strong&gt;. Not really household names or players that are going to fire up the fan base. So do the &lt;strong&gt;Rams&lt;/strong&gt; really want to win? Is the current ownership only interested in saving money?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just within the last week 4 young players with ability have been traded in the &lt;strong&gt;NFL&lt;/strong&gt; all for 5th round draft picks. &lt;strong&gt;Santonio Holmes&lt;/strong&gt; 26 years old and coming off a 79 reception, 1248 yards and 5 TD year was dealt to the &lt;strong&gt;New York Jets&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;Ted Ginn Jr&lt;/strong&gt;. 25 years old, a former 1st round draft pick comes off a 38 reception 454 yard 1 TD year. He is best known for his ability to return kicks. In 2009 Ginn Jr. returned 52 kickoffs for 1296 yards, a 24.9 yard average and 2 TDs. &lt;strong&gt;Ernie Sims&lt;/strong&gt; a 25 year former first round selection of the &lt;strong&gt;Detroit Lions&lt;/strong&gt; had 49 tackles in only 11 games last year. The previous 3 season Sims had at least 113 tackles each season. &lt;strong&gt;Tony Scheffler&lt;/strong&gt; a 27 year old 6'5" 255lb TE with great speed who had 31 receptions for 416 yards and 2 TDs in 2009 was also dealt. I know we are looking for value in the draft but 3 of these players were first round draft picks and the other was a second round selection so isn't getting them for a 5th round pick great value?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;St. Louis Rams&lt;/strong&gt; have THREE 5th round draft picks in the &lt;strong&gt;2010 NFL Draft&lt;/strong&gt;. You may be able to point out issues with each of these players but I doubt you can make an argument that they would not improve the &lt;strong&gt;Rams roster&lt;/strong&gt;. The &lt;strong&gt;Rams&lt;/strong&gt; lack starters and have a huge depth need across the board and they fail to engage with other teams to acquire talent.

The &lt;strong&gt;Rams&lt;/strong&gt; have the second easiest strength of schedule this year but as we know the order of the games can be crucial. The &lt;strong&gt;Rams&lt;/strong&gt; had to play 3 of their first 4 games on the road to start the 2009 season and it was all down hill from there. In 2008 the &lt;strong&gt;Rams&lt;/strong&gt; started against Philly and the Giants and quickly were 0-2 and allowed 79 points against. Maybe we can get lucky and start off with the Lions and Raiders and actually try to get out of the gate. For the past 3 seasons the &lt;strong&gt;Rams&lt;/strong&gt; have lost at least their first four games in each season.

During my radio interview with BlogTalkRadio on Friday I gave some reasons as to why I believe Bradford is the pick for the Rams. Below is a recap of the reasons I believe that make Bradford the pick:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To win in this NFL you need a accurate quarterback and Sam Bradford was deadly accurate in college. It is time to get a quarterback that can get the ball to the wideouts. Look at the quarterbacks of the 12 teams that made the playoffs in 2009 and you will see a lot of stars on that list.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Super Bowl featured Drew Brees against Peyton Manning. Do you know the names of the defensive tackles in that game? Exactly we need a stud quarterback and that is Sam Bradford.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The St. Louis Rams were 29th in attendance last year and a big name quarterback could put some butts in the seats and spark some interest in a franchise which has been losing its fan base.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Rams averaged 10.9 points per game in 2009. The Rams are in dire need of playmakers and some offensive weapons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Rams missed out on taking Cutler, Flacco, Ryan, Sanchez and Bradford how long can they wait to draft a top tier QB?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Steven Jackson will be 27 when the season starts it is time to get him some help and take some pressure off of him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Rams already have defensive tackles Adam Carriker, Clifton Ryan, Darell Scott and Fred Robbins on the roster do we truly need to spend 60 million dollars on a DT?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is a defensive tackle that costs 60+ million really a good value? Albert Haynesworth who signed a 100 million dollar contract with the Washington Redskins is on the trading block. Haynesworth has averaged only 42 tackles a year over the last year years. Is that impact? Glenn Dorsey who had the same accolades in 2008 as Suh is getting now has averaged 50 tackles and one sack per year for the Chiefs who still have an awful defense.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People say if Bradford is a bust he will set the franchise back a decade. Why? The Rams gave Chris Long was given 29 million guaranteed and Jason Smith was given 33 million and we have not received much in a way of return from them yet. How come they don't set the franchise back a year? At some point you have to try. You have to pull the string and make the selection, why not now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am very worried with the Rams ownership in flux that Chip and Lucinda will continue to just save money and that means trading down. The Rams could trade down with either Washington or Cleveland and take Jimmy Clausen if they believe he is as talented as Bradford. The guaranteed money at #4 or $7 would be much less than at #1 plus he would be the second qb drafted. Would the Rams really trade down just to save money, I think they would.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7749327450428627362-5909283101703402114?l=stlouisramfan.com%2Fblog' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7749327450428627362/5909283101703402114/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7749327450428627362&amp;postID=5909283101703402114' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7749327450428627362/posts/default/5909283101703402114'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7749327450428627362/posts/default/5909283101703402114'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stlouisramfan.com/blog/2010/04/why-sam-bradford-should-be-1-pick.html' title='Why Sam Bradford Should Be The #1 Pick'/><author><name>stlvinnie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00641079276692291395</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='00766713212809503758'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7749327450428627362.post-5573183521333238750</id><published>2010-04-18T18:38:00.002-06:00</published><updated>2010-04-18T18:41:23.738-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='St. Louis Rams'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rams select'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Greg Brosh'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='John Carson'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sam Bradford'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Stlvinnie'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='BlogTalkRadio'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Live Mock Draft on Blog Talk Radio'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rams pick'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='George Kurtz'/><title type='text'>Stlvinnie - Live Mock Draft on Blog Talk Radio</title><content type='html'>Friday on &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/"&gt;BlogTalkRadio&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; I represented the &lt;strong&gt;St. Louis Rams&lt;/strong&gt; and selected &lt;strong&gt;Sam Bradford&lt;/strong&gt; QB from the University of Oklahoma.

Only &lt;strong&gt;Pat Shurmur&lt;/strong&gt; and quarterbacks coach &lt;strong&gt;Dick Curl&lt;/strong&gt; of the &lt;strong&gt;Rams&lt;/strong&gt; were at the session. The &lt;strong&gt;Rams&lt;/strong&gt; worked out &lt;strong&gt;Bradford&lt;/strong&gt; as if he was going through a practice. Unlike his pro day workout the &lt;strong&gt;Rams&lt;/strong&gt; asked &lt;strong&gt;Bradford&lt;/strong&gt; to perform different activities to check out his footwork, mobility and decision making. Also &lt;strong&gt;Bradford&lt;/strong&gt; only threw to two different receivers tight end &lt;strong&gt;Jermaine Gresham&lt;/strong&gt; and wideout &lt;strong&gt;Adron Tennell&lt;/strong&gt;. I find it interesting that &lt;strong&gt;Billy Devaney&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Steve Spagnuolo&lt;/strong&gt; would not attend but they are probably busy stacking their board for the upcoming draft. &lt;strong&gt;Bradford&lt;/strong&gt; seems to be able to do anything asks of him during his workouts and should be the #1 pick in the &lt;strong&gt;2010 NFL Draft&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7749327450428627362-5094946949461274204?l=stlouisramfan.com%2Fblog' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7749327450428627362/5094946949461274204/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7749327450428627362&amp;postID=5094946949461274204' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7749327450428627362/posts/default/5094946949461274204'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7749327450428627362/posts/default/5094946949461274204'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stlouisramfan.com/blog/2010/04/rams-workout-bradford-one-last-time.html' title='Rams Workout Bradford One Last Time'/><author><name>stlvinnie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00641079276692291395</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='00766713212809503758'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
