Thus far, the Rams have done nothing to improve their sagging receiver corp in the 2010 draft. This is a serious problem because Sam Bradford lacks quality targets to throw to. This can change quickly tomorrow. Several outstanding receivers with high draft grades remain on the board. Let's hope this situation does ...Published on: 23rd April, 2010
As it turns out, ESPN Draft analyst Todd McShay was quite correct. The Rams did stay put, and they did select Indiana offensive tackle Rodger Saffold. Saffold stand 6'5" and weighs in at 316 pounds. He was a four-year starter at Indiana, he was voted a captain of the team, and ...Published on: 23rd April, 2010
So, here I sit, blurry eyed and delirious. My arch nemesis, Mel Kiper Jr., has been utterly defeated. It is a defeat the dimensions of which he has never experienced: A route from which no honor can be salvaged. For months now, I have taken guff from Kiper-clones who insisted that Florida ...Published on: 18th April, 2010
So here we sit just about four-and-half days away from the draft. Please, pardon me for this rant, my fellow Ram fans, but this is our last chance to stop the suicide express.

For the past several years, the Rams have been a low-profile team, clocking two wins per season, and drafting No. 2 overall. National ...Published on: 15th April, 2010
Tonight on NFL Total Access, Jason La Canfora reported that the Washington Redskins are more than certain that they want to part company with their $100m defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth. They are going to a 3-4 front under former Ram DC Jim Haslett, and Haynesworth does not want ...Published on: 14th April, 2010
Presuming that the Rams go ahead with their current plan to select Sam Bradford, it is logical to suppose that they will get him some help with the No. 33 pick. This help could take two forms. The Rams could select an offensive lineman to give Sam a bit better ...Published on: 13th April, 2010
People sometimes forget the Rams are a small market team, with cash-flow problems, in the middle of a franchise sale, the middle of the Great Recession. There are also persistent rumors that they may be moving to a facility in Industry California, but we won't touch on this touchy ...Published on: 13th April, 2010
So the other ownership shoe dropped last night for the Rams. Adam Schefter announced on ESPN's NFL Live that Silent Stan Kroenke has decided to exercise his contractual right of first refusal to purchase the Rams. The report is correct. Enos Stan Kroenke has decided to exercise his contractual right of ...
