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 […]

There’s a common theme in early grades of the Rams’ draft: taking risks on big talent with big question marks.

Now that the Redskins’ trade is official, Les Snead and the St Louis Rams have to reset their draft board, surveying the talent landscape around the sixth pick.

Congratulations to Les Snead and the St Louis Rams. They have just won the Robert Griffin III sweepstakes. The loser? Robert Griffin III. No matter how the deal worked out, Griffin was going to be drafted by a team that didn’t need him (the Rams), or a team that wouldn’t know how to use him […]
