Torrey Smith is a guy I think the Rams are interested in.

Jim Thomas doesn't seem to think they like Hankerson. Anyways, if they can get a RB, OLB, WR or G tomorrow, I'll be happy.

I know you're not supposed to draft by need, but I'll take an OLB or WR over anything else at this point: Akeem Ayers, Jaabal Sheard still some good names for OLB on the board.

I really like that Quinn pick. Yeah, you can question the whole year-long suspension, but he'd likely be a top 3 pick had he played this year.

Lots of good guys left on the board. Akeem Ayers would be awesome, but so would Mikel LeShoure.

The only way the Rams could possibly blow this pick is if they take an OT or a QB.

I really hope Torrey Smith, LeShoure and Carter are still there.

The character issues for Baldwin scare me a little as a Chiefs fan, but I have to trust Pioli and his crew. 1st round WR picks are rarely value picks, but Baldwin really is a great paring for Bowe. KC has three legitimate receiving threats in Baldwin, Bowe, and Moeaki along with one of the best speed backs in the league right now. Hopefully that down field presence will open up even more space for Charles and help the OL not have to deal with as many blitz schemes. I really hope they go D with their next 3 or 4 picks with an OL thrown in, as that DL/LB crew still isn't as good as I'd like it to be.

Miami played it safe, conservative, archaic, boring. Like fist pumping for field goals.

Quinn has some serious questions about production, as he dominated the dregs and didn't do much against the legit competition. A bit high cut and linear, he has elite athleticism and will be used correctly by Spags; moving forward and going after the QB. glad to see teams take some risks on getting star players, rather than sit back, play it safe, and continue their run of mediocrity.
