Hello my fellow SKAmericans, and also Jive. I kid Jive, I kid. But seriously, do you have your birth certificate available to show? I find it hard to believe that you are an Asian/Italian, but I do believe that you spend your workdays surrounded by garbage.
The draft is just a few weeks away. We’ve all seen plenty of mock drafts at this point, all of which will be wrong to some degree. In this SKArticle, I will give an overview of what the St Louis Rams of Anaheim have as draft selections, and next week I will include what the other teams in the National Foosball League will do in various rounds. (Note: Foosball was not a typo, have you seen the game lately?)
The Rams have six selections in the 2015 NFL draft. They received one compensatory pick, a sixth round choice, No. 215 overall.
Here’s a breakdown of the Rams’ selections:
First round: 10th overall selection – Brandon Scherff, OG/OT, Iowa…the Rams have finally allowed their older linemen to go away and will seek to rebuild “Cowboys-style” around Robinson, Saffold and Scherff. In the 2nd round they will double down with…
Second round: 41st overall selection – T.J. Clemmings, OT, Pittsburgh…Clemmings has already made a team visit, he is a definite target. They may even trade up for him. If he goes off the board, they will overpay to resign Joe Barksdale and take a CB or pass rusher here.
Third round: 72nd overall selection – Devin Funchess – TE/WR, Michigan…Funchess (6’ 4”, 232 lbs) is a classic Jeff Fisher player and the eventual replacement for Jared Cook. In his rookie season, he will start out taking snaps while Brian Quick’s status is evaluated.
Fourth round: 119th overall selection – Eric Rowe, CB, Utah…The Rams have young talent in the secondary, but Janoris Jenkins and Trumaine Johnson will be up for new contracts and the group as whole outside of TJ McDonald has been inconsistent. Fisher took a similar chance on Maurice Alexander of Utah State last year and eventually decided a trade for Mark Barron was necessary. This year he doubles down by drafting the large (6’ 1”, 205 lbs) and versatile Rowe
Sixth round: 215th overall selection – Ramik Wilson, LB, Georgia…At this point in the draft, the Rams will look for depth and probably trade down for an extra 6th or 7th rounder. Wilson saw his stock drop last year but was 1st Team All-SEC in 2013. He also was the replacement for Alec Ogletree and Fisher has shown a penchant for same-school draft picks (with WRs Austin and Bailey being the most recent)
Seventh round: 227th overall selection – Jon Feliciano, OG, Miami…barring a trade, the Rams will add another OLineman in this round. Feliciano has weaknesses at the 2nd level, but the 6’4” 323 pounder has exhibited good run and pass block instincts while allowing Duke Johnson to succeed for The U.
Next week, Volume 3 will include a full 1st round Mock for all 32 teams.
Now back to the random comments and butt gifs.
