I have nary a clue about specific college players (other than Gabbert -I doubt he's worthy of the hype).
For Rams, they still have enough holes where they should go best player available (other than a QB). Would love a bad-ass safety. DE/OLB. Sounds like the best available WR at their slot won't be the best player available at that slot.

This may be the worst safety class ever. I'm an advocate of BPA for as much as it's sensible, and my hunch in this case is that we'll end up with a d-lineman since that appears to be the strength of this group. I'd love it if people keep passing on Bowers because of injury concerns which I think are overblown.

The Rams need to take Aldon Smith if Julio Jones or Prince Akuwhatever aren't there.

Cam Newton is going to Carolina. I will guarantee that. I think Gabbert falls all the way to San Fran or Tennessee, mainly because I don't think any teams in front need a QB. I would love for Tyron Smith to fall to the Chiefs.

@OsCz I don't think the #Redskins move up...not enough amo...hearing they could move down to the #Rams or #Chiefs pick #NFLDRAFT

He is a writer for the National Football Post.
If the Rams moved up to 9, I'd think it would be okay as long as Jones is there. I think they'd have to give up a 3rd either in this year's draft or next year's as well the 14th pick this year.
If the Chiefs moved up, I think they'd have to give up a bit more to move up.

Aldon might not be there either.
I feel like the closer we get to the draft, the more likely it is Corey Liuget is the pick, for better or worse.

Do I let the bust rate on DEs override the fact that the position is Spagnuolo's specialty? I think if Bowers falls to #14, yes. Otherwise, no.

I think so, too.
I don't really have a problem with Liuget unless other DEs like Aldon Smith, Jordan and Quinn are still available.
