After splash at LT, Rams go safe route with Robert Woods at WRBy Alden Gonzalez

LOS ANGELES -- Robert Woods is coming back to Southern California, agreeing to terms Thursday with the Los Angeles Rams, who also picked up veteran left tackle Andrew Whitworth.
Woods, who starred at USC and will again play out of Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, was a second-round pick by the Bills in 2013 and has amassed 2,451 receiving yards over the last four years, playing in 57 of 64 games. He basically replaces Kenny Britt, who agreed to a four-year, $32.5 million contract with the Browns. Woods' signing will help shore up a position that has been a major problem for the Rams for about a decade.
Terms: Five years, with a maximum value of $39 million if all incentives are are reached. $15 million guaranteed.
ESPN 150 ranking: 37th (eighth among WR)
Grade: I’ll give it a C, because it means the Rams didn’t sign the most elite receivers available. Woods isn’t Alshon Jeffery or DeSean Jackson or Pierre Garcon, but he gives the Rams some size and nice pass-catching ability. He's solid, but nothing flashy. The 6-foot-1 Woods won't zip past defenders to stretch the field vertically and he won't demand consistent double teams, but he is a good route runner and a solid blocker with dependable hands. He's a nice complement to Tavon Austin, a speedy receiver who struggles in the areas where Woods is strong.
