Rams '88 Draft...

May 02, 2023 04:01AM
I remember it too. Growing up in the southwest I watched a lot of Pac-10 football and had seen Green and Cox play a lot. I remember especially liking the Gaston Green pick... He had run for 2,500+ yards the previous two years for good UCLA teams and I remembered that 1986 bowl game when he ran for 260+ yards.

I remember wanting a RB and WR in that first round but my targets were Anthony Miller from TEN and Lorenzo White from Michigan State.

  Just now fully read this--at least we got Flipper, so not worst Rams draft ever

  That draft..... one of the two bodges

OzRam54May 02, 2023 06:13AM

  Yes, I saw three names - Thurman, Ironhead and John Stephens

JimYoungblood5343May 02, 2023 10:12AM

  had plenty of draft capital to move up for Michael Irvin

  1st round was disaster, have to disagree some about rest

  They Did an Interview with Greg Bell On The Green Pick

  I'm not sure if Thurman Thomas would have helped either.

  You nailed it. He wasn't even a football fan. He loved St.L Cardinals

JimYoungblood5339May 02, 2023 10:15AM

  He asked Greg Bell who was best RB--said Thurman, Rams took Gaston

JimYoungblood5340May 02, 2023 10:17AM

  I REALLY REALLY wish the Rams had hung on to Bell and Holohan while retooling.
