Rams43 brought us a post by PhillyRam that really caught me off guard. It's currently burried in another thread, but I thought it deserved its own thread. So here goes: I'll link it here [
ramsrule.com] and then re-repost it:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The funny critique I keep hearing is that the Rams will go 5 yrs without a first round pick.
Yet, the Rams probably have more first round picks on their team than any other team. So its not like they are not adding first round talent.
Ramsey
Cooks
Goff
Fowler
Bortles
Gurley
Donald
Brockers
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And as THE FANATIC pointed out, PhillyRam's list omitted Talib and Matthews!! [
ramsrule.com] That's 10 first-round picks!!
For a little value added here's all 10 first-round picks on the Rams along with the year of their selection their first-round slot:
2008, 1.20 Talib
2009, 1.26 Matthews
2012, 1.14 Brockers
2014, 1.3 Bortles
2014, 1.13 Donald
2014, 1.14 Cooks
2015, 1.3 Fowler
2015, 1.10 Gurley
2016, 1.1, Goff
