They seemed so happy together… The first round picks of 2006 (Tye Hill) and 2007 (Adam Carriker) have both been cashiered, sold for pennies on the draft value dollar. Hill, originally drafted 15th overall (1050 draft points) hit a brief peak, then saw his confidence and ball reaction skills steadily erode. He was dealt to […]

I’m a few days behind, as the FanBall NFL Blog network (of which we are proud to be a member) completed the second rev of our community mock draft. Here’s the results. With the #33 pick in mind, let’s pay close attention to who wasn’t drafted as much as to who was. 1) St. Louis […]

This year’s draft is going to be unique for a number of reasons, and the Rams — holding the first pick of the second round — are in a unique position to be able to take advantage. The prospect of an uncapped year, perhaps the last year without a cap on rookie contracts, and the […]

I love baseball. Spending almost all of my adult life in Saint Louis, listening to the game as narrated by the luminous Jack Buck and gravel-voiced Mike Shannon, it’s hard not to. In fact, before I started blogging up the Rams, I was writing Cardinals series previews for St Louis Gametime‘s short-lived baseball mag, and […]

Stan Kroenke: No longer content with minority owner status? Stan Kroenke, on the verge of announcing his intentions vis a vis the Rams, had a bombshell dropped in his lap: a 16% share of the Arsenal soccer club (long pursued by Kroenke) was put up for sale by a Lady Bracewell-Smith. His response? A bombshell […]

2010: Year of the Ram? This may not be the Year of the Ram, but I don’t need to be a Chinese Astrologer to tell you that this week is going to be critical to the Rams in a lot of different ways… starting with a critical ownership decision on Monday. Monday, Aril 12th, Stan […]

When the Redskins pulled out of the Sam Bradford sweepstakes, choosing the “win now” option of Donovan McNabb over the “rebuild for the long term” option of a high-pick quarterback, it meant there was no looking back for the Rams. Well, the Rams officially went all-in on their decision to get that high-round quarterback, by […]

Well, now that the only realistic potential trader for Sam Bradford’s services now has its franchise quarterback, I really hope things go well for the Rams and Bradford during their private workout on the 19th. Because now there’s no turning back. Yes, you could argue that McNabb’s window is limited and that the Redskins could […]

Bernie Miklasz plays devil’s advocate in his latest column, and lists five reasons why Bradford-to-St Louis is not yet a done deal. Most frightening to St Louisans? The prospect that, like John Elway and Eli Manning before him, Bradford could be drafted by the Rams but refuse to play for them. If Bradford really, really […]

Peter King’s MMQB this week leads off with a “49% chance” that Bradford ends up in Washington. We’ve already discussed the “king’s ransom” of picks that it would take to pry Bradford away from St Louis: here’s what Peter King throws out as a possible package: My money’s on the 51 percent of Brandt’s prediction […]

The day started with breakfast with Billy Devaney. It ended with “a lot of questions answered.” Sam Bradford’s Pro Day has now come and gone, and the Rams have between now and their private workout on the 19th of April to cement contract terms with Tom Condon, and fully push the reset button on this […]
