I appreciate the well thought out write up. This wouldn't be the first time a front office was scouting one guy and his teammate jumps off the screen garnering attention. I am now curious if both Newton and Fiske were both available would the Rams have still gone Fiske because of chemistry and camaraderie? Is it that their games mesh better together? I love the position and have no problem at all with drafting Fiske, it was just that around Rams pick time Newton, who was rated as the higher prospect in most of the periodicals that I saw was still available, he went 3 spots before the Rams got Fiske, plus some say that the Rams overpaid a little for Fiske, would that payment have been enough to get Newton? Fiske might turn out to be the better prospect and I have just made the mistake of wanting the highest rated DE/Edge and the highest rated DT in both of my draft periodicals. I like the pairing up plan but don't see why Verse and Newton couldn't have worked in that way just as well as Fiske and Verse did. Some questioned if the Rams would take Newton at 19 so the idea that we could have traded up and gotten him around 35 excited me.
