Rams Reach For Isaiah Pead

Found April 30, 2012 on Fantasy Football Champs:
PLAYERS: Isaiah Pead,  Steven Jackson
TEAMS: St. Louis Rams
The St. Louis Rams reached for running back Isaiah Pead with the No. 50 pick in the 2012 NFL Draft. Fantasy Spin: St. Louis should have went another way with this pick with so many holes to fill and so many strong prospects still on the board, but Pead does have the ability to be a breakaway threat in the NFL, and will fit in well as a complement to Steven Jackson. Should immediately slide into No. 2 spot on the depth chart, and Pead is worth handcuffing when you consider that Jackson turns 29 in July and has played a full 16 games in just two of his eight seasons so far.

St. Louis Rams Draft Grades

Via The Football Fan Spot  |  April 30, 2012
14. DT Michael Brockers B+ Somewhere Sam Bradford just retired. In all seriousness, I have no problem with the Rams trading down again. They turned the 2nd overall pick into the 14th overall pick, 2 1sts and 2 2nds. That’s not a bad haul. I probably would have just gone ahead and taken Claiborne because of the fact that there were generally 6 consensus blue chip prospects in this...

Chris Givens Lands in St. Louis

Via Fantasy Football Champs  |  April 30, 2012
The St. Louis Rams added wide receiver Chris Givens at the top of the fourth round in the 2012 NFL Draft. Fantasy Spin: Givens and second-round pick Brian Quick are projected to be the starting tandem for the WR-needy Rams, and the Wake Forest product intrigues us with his soft hands, good body control and speed. While Quick should be the preferred target in keeper leagues with the...

Biggest question mark in the Rams' draft: Brian Quick?

Via Rams Herd  |  April 30, 2012
There's a common theme in early grades of the Rams' draft: taking risks on big talent with big question marks. The media - locally and at large - has already made Janoris Jenkins the poster child of this draft and Jeff Fisher / Les Snead's risk/reward approach to adding talent. Jenkins' extensively documented rap sheet and just as extensively documented skillset...

Four Pillars be gone

On Friday, April 27, the St. Louis Rams selected North Alabama cornerback Janoris Jenkins with the 39th overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft. The Rams then picked up Montana cornerback Trumaine Johnson to start the third round. The Rams went high risk, high reward and I liked it. Janoris Jenkins I know the team took some major risks on day two of the draft, but I'm ecstatic...

2012 NFL Draft: 3 Events That Did Not Surprise

1. Rams Keep Trading Many people I know were talking to me through text and Facebook saying "Rams move again?" I would respond with "Rams are looking to rebuild throughout their defense and some offense, not surprised" Getting players like Janoris Jenkins in the 2nd and Michael Brockers in the first, they filled some really big needs on the defensive side of the...
