Rams grab CB Trumain Johnson in 3rd round

Found April 27, 2012 on Fox Sports Midwest:
PLAYERS: Isaiah Pead
TEAMS: St. Louis Rams,  Appalachian State Mountaineers,  Cincinnati Bearcats
ST. LOUIS (AP) -- The St. Louis Rams chose a defensive back with their third-round pick, taking Trumaine Johnson of Montana. NFL.com said the 6-foot-2, 204-pound Johnson was arguably one of the best prospects to emerge from the Big Sky Conference in several years and he was rated the best draft prospect at the small college level and most underrated defensive back by the NFL draft report. Johnson started 42 of 47 games at Montana and had 15 career interceptions. Johnson also played free safety in college. He expects to begin his pro career at cornerback. The Rams drafted wide receiver Brian Quick of Appalachian State with the first pick of Day 2, then picked defensive back Janoris Jenkins of North Alabama and running back Isaiah Pead of Cincinnati later in the second.

According to Michael Silver of Yahoo! sports, Rams head coach Jeff Fisher and a small cluster of his staff traveled covertly to Boone, North Carolina last Friday to get a look at Appalachian State wide receiver Brian Quick.

Getting a handle on how the Rams will approach the draft, at least in the first round, is as unpredictable as the usual smokescreens that are sent up every year by NFL teams. After moving down to the sixth slot in the opening round following their March deal with the Redskins, the Rams also own the first and seventh picks in the second round. But the first-round choice is what...

St. Louis Rams select Brian Quick, Grade B-

Via DraftAce  |  April 27, 2012
Pretty cool to have Isaac Bruce and Torry Holt at the podium to introduce the St. Louis Rams next No. 1 receiver. However, this was too early for Brian Quick. Sam Bradford needs someone who can come in and help him immediately, and the FCS receiver is too raw to make a significant impact early on. Unfortunately, this feels an awful lot like the when the Rams reached for Donnie Avery...

St. Louis Rams select Janoris Jenkins, Grade C

Via DraftAce  |  April 27, 2012
The St. Louis Rams are gambling here, but I don’t completely hate the move. They have multiple picks in the 2nd round, so I can definitely understand why they were willing to gamble. However, a young team which is likely not going to be competitive for another year or two is generally not a good place for a guy with character concerns. Janoris Jenkins would have been better off...

2012 NFL Draft: Rams Select Michael Brockers

With the 14th pick from the Dallas Cowboys the St. Louis Rams select DT Michael Brockers.  This is a great pick for the Rams who like any other team needs to stuff the run up the middle.  He can take over a game if put in the right situation.  He is fast enough to jump the gap when the guards pull. The Rams have 3 of the first 45 picks plus the number 1 pick which means they have...
