Rams Gab:
From: Pro Football Weekly
We hear the Rams were pretty disappointed after the division-rival Niners beat them to the punch in securing the services of veteran OL Barry Sims, who started 119 games in nine seasons in Oakland before being released at the end of February. Word is the team believes it needs more depth at tackle, with journeymen Brandon Gorin and Adam Goldberg currently figuring as the top backups at the position.

I know that only three 2008 1st round NFL draft picks have signed a contract with their teams. However those three were the #1,3, and 4 picks in the draft. Dollar amounts range from 58-70 million so you should already have a feel for what you are going to pay Chris Long. The 2008 St. [...]

The Rams selected Idaho LB David Vobora with the last selection in this year's 252-player draft, but with depth at linebacker in short supply in St. Louis, we hear Vobora will be far from irreverent, as both he and fellow seventh-round pick Chris Chamberlain appear to have an excellent shot at making the roster, especially due to their special-teams experience.

Although Rams second-round rookie Donnie Avery, who was the highest-selected receiver in the 2008 draft, has received more attention from the media, we hear the team's fourth-round pick, WR Keenan Burton, could end up making just as big an impact as Avery, if not bigger. The word is both Avery and Burton showed a lot of energy in the Rams' OTAs and...

Just as I was bemoaning the lack of NFL and specifically Rams coverage, there is a flurry of (small) news. Thankfully, the Rams are staying out of the news for arrests and other bad reasons. David Vobora (Mr. Irrelevant) however, cannot stay out of the news. The Idaho Statesman has an interview with him here.
He speaks about driving a Lamborghini, going to Disney World, and oh...
