It seemed like a blunder when the Rams drafted Sloman. That choice has indeed proved to be a terrible mistake, and it's disturbing that it seemed to have something to do with nepotism. It's amazing that NFL teams often make bad decisions that are obvious even to fans, such as when the Rams made a series of glaring blunders in 1996 by trading Jerome Bettis, drafting Lawrence Phillips, and selecting Eddie Kennison over Marvin Harrison.
