It's an interesting...because I think the tendency is to just say... Cool they drafted someone...not knowing if he will pan out at all.... This is why I'm for always drafting an offensive lineman...Especially if you have multiple picks in the First 100...by JoeT13B - RamsFootballFans.com
I know you can’t do everything…and that the team needs a CB…and help on the Edge…but the priority has to be whatever it takes to keep Matthew Stafford upright in the pocket…if he’s standing for 17 games…then the Rams are in the hunt. Rams Tackles Drafted Under Snead: (Tackles 9: 1 hit, 1 kind of) 2014—Greg Robinson 1/2-Auburn 2014—Mitchell Van Dyke 1/226-Portland St. 2015—Rob Havenstein 2/by JoeT13B - RamsFootballFans.com

Cardinals (4-13)—6 Picks:4,27,35,66,71,90--SIx picks and an opportunity to contend--maybe- in 2025. Seahawks (9-8)—3 Picks:16,78,81--I doubt they'll let a QB slip past them at #16 Bears (7-10)—3 Picks:1,9,75by JoeT13B - RamsFootballFans.com
Super Bowl Final: Chiefs 29 49ers 21 (I'll go with above...but Possibly 29-27 or 29-14--Chiefs)by JoeT13B - RamsFootballFans.com
This guy was an all-world and next generation TE with Philly...I was jazzed when we got him...but Terry Nelson remained in the lineup...then Young goes to Frisco and gets a ring. Great pics...I'm leaving for Vegas in the morning.by JoeT13B - RamsFootballFans.com
That was the trade where they sent a pick and Rod Perry to Detroit...but Perry failed his physical I believe.by JoeT13B - RamsFootballFans.com
Klein was with the Rams from 1969-1976...he seemed like a glorified third tackle...It would have been interesting to see how he would have faired a decade or so later...by JoeT13B - RamsFootballFans.com
In the era of the common draft (1966-forward)...NFL teams have drafted 60 Tight Ends in the first round. Only three (Ozzie Newsome, Kellen Winslow, Tony Gonzalez) have made it to Canton. The Rams have drafted only one TE in the first round, Bob Klein 1/21/1969-USC. Overall the Rams have drafted 33 TEs...The standouts (in terms of starting) are Bob Klein, Terry Nelson, Damone Johnson, Rolandby JoeT13B - RamsFootballFans.com
I agree with you...I don' think Goff was a whiff either...and the book isn't closed on any of these guys...I think my motivation was hearing some folks say the Rams have to take a QB at #19...Nothing is never as easy as it sounds.by JoeT13B - RamsFootballFans.com
Super Bowl 7.... I saw Larry Brown get the crud beat out of him...and he just kept getting up. "...Helmet askew, belly protruding, socks sagging around his ankles, Kilmer was once again spiritual leader of the Redskins...Jerry Smith was wide open but the ball never arrived. For between Kilmer and his receiver loomed yet another trick of the gods." #RamView #RamCave #KlostermanHOFby JoeT13B - RamsFootballFans.com
Nate Wiggins CB out of Clemson at #19. Irony, the last time the Rams drafted a CB in the first round it was Tye Hill in 2006...also out of Clemson. CBs Taken by The Rams in First 100: (Common Draft Era 1966) The Rams have taken 24 CBs in the First 100… Three times in the first round: Jerry Gray, Todd Lyght, Tye Hill. 1966: George Youngblood 7/97-Cal St. La 1973: Eddie McMillan 4/95-Floby JoeT13B - RamsFootballFans.com
Everything is arbitrary...I went back to the last full decade...thus 2010... (Stafford was 2009).... Wison and Foles, both third rounders in 2012 won a Super Bowl.... Regarding Peyton Manning...he was on fumes when he beat Cam Newton's Panther team. Brady ended a ten year drought when Malcolm Butler picked off Wilson... I don't think its skewed mentioning that the greats kept on winning..by JoeT13B - RamsFootballFans.com
Since 2010, 43 quarterbacks have been drafted in the first round. Only one of those quarterbacks drafted in the first round has won a Super Bowl. That’s a lot of “once in a lifetime” or “once in a generation”…talent falling flat. Four have made it to a Super Bowl: Cam Newton, Jaren Goff, Patrick Mahomes, and Joe Burrow. But only Mahomes has a ring. #KlostermanHOF #RamCave #RamViewby JoeT13B - RamsFootballFans.com
Is it the Super Bowl on Sunday or the... The Steve DeBerg Bowl The Joe Montana Bowl The Steve Bono Bowl The Elvis Grbac Bowl The Alex Smith Bowl ...And they all started playoff games for the Chiefs... #KlostermanHOF #RamCave #RamViewby JoeT13B - RamsFootballFans.com
1948—Rich Saul (Michigan St.)—8/204/1970…Saul was a backup his first five seasons…serving as the long snapper…tough to find work on the Rams line in those days…When Ken Iman was let go after the 1974 season…Saul was the Rams starting center for the next seven years…playing in every game, and starting all but one…six times he was elected to the Pro Bowl…Underrated, Underappreciated…he passed awayby JoeT13B - RamsFootballFans.com
I liked Levi Johnson....He always seemed to be on the weekly highlights before he got derailed with injuries.by JoeT13B - RamsFootballFans.com
I get it...at this point Penix has put enough on film out there...Even Nix...who seems like he started for Auburn when Little Train James was there....For a guy like Hartman it makes perfect sense...he played a lot of college football...but is not regarded as first or even a second round pick....by JoeT13B - RamsFootballFans.com
is that the third round pick they sent to Detroit that the Lions turned into Levi Johnson?by JoeT13B - RamsFootballFans.com
That is a great story... Sistrunk got more of the fanfare with the Raiders, his shaved head, and that whole University of Mars stuff...but Brooks was more consistent over a longer period of time... Were you able to track down what the Rams did with that third round pick?by JoeT13B - RamsFootballFans.com

5 Pro-Bowls, 2 1st team All Pro, 2 2nd team All Pro… 74.5 sacks in his career playing with Fred Dryer and Jack Youngblood and Merlin Olsen.… 131 games, 122 starts, He’s another one…I put in the class of…if the Rams had picked off another Super Bowl appearance…even a Super Bowl win…Brooks would have received serious HOF consideration…still deserves it... #KlostermanHOF #RamCave #RamViewby JoeT13B - RamsFootballFans.com

Last night I went back and watched The Mud Bowl in 12/26/1977 I listened to this game on the radio…It was Dick Enberg’s last call…it was Harold Jackson’s last game with the Rams…It was the last time Lawrence McCutcheon was a top-flight back…and it was Chuck’s Knox’s last game… But as I was watching it on YouTube…and maybe it’s age…maybe it’s because I’ve literally written a thousand game stby JoeT13B - RamsFootballFans.com

on this day in 1972 the Rams sent Deacon Jones(14/186/1961) to the Chargers for Jeff Staggs, Jim Bertelsen (2/30/1972), Cullen Bryant (2/31/1973), Tim Stokes (3/60/1973)....A bitter thing for Rams fans...but in his final three seasons Jones was subpar/well on the downside.... The stats (later compiled) show him with 159.5 sacks for the Rams but only with 14 in two years with the Bolts and one morby JoeT13B - RamsFootballFans.com
