It seems that they are looking for smarts on the OLine. I like it. He will be better depth than some of what the Rams have already. If he adds strength maybe he pushes to start.
Could be we had dumbos on the right side last season.

We all agree the major concern was the O-Line, and they are addressing it in this draft. No flash with the O-Line picks, but I really think they are going after guys that will fit what we want to do, and that is punish the defense with a dynamic running game with Mason and Gurley. It will all pan out when the season begins. GO RAMS!

Okay the theme is guys with experience with great technique and with Brown & Donnal versatility as opposed to athletes that are strong in the weight room so no Travis Scott here.

OL Coach Paul Boudreau's hand prints are all over this draft, here's hoping he's right because all of them seem to be a round too early, but that's only from the publications.

I do love the focus on the online. Not the picks I expected, but they do seem to fit a mold and that shows me they do have a theme in mind. They can keep drafting OL from here on out as far as I'm concerned, I haven't really liked our OL in several years. We need the new bodies.

Okay, so two of these guys will be starting, it looks like we are going in house with our center for this year. I'm somewhat satisfied now, even though we will be the youngest Oline in the league. . . .

I love that you love this pick.
Lol. I really do. I like what we are doing, even though I don't agree with all the grades, I like the players. There are more players out there for us to get! I'm excited about that too.

This is one of the kids that I get a feeling about. He's always been one of my major OL sleepers in this draft.

I love it.
Numbers game... Depth..
Now have some MASSIVE bodies on that OL...
Mason will get plenty of carries along with Gurley this year. Let's get some real play action going.

Not mad at the pick at all. Looks like they're all in for the OL.

Hell, yeah! When you have a thoroughbred like TG as your feature back, he needs to have his Battering Ram OL escort out front clearing traffic.

OK if you were told we would have taken 3 OL a QB and a RB with what started as our first (4) picks most of us me included would be very content.
The guys we are getting are cerebral fundamentally sound players and that equals a quick transition into the system without the pains of language, assignment and philosophy issues. A quality OLine plays as a cohesive unit and these picks seem to be about players contributing to the unit with as much ease as possible. The 2 big ten kids play in a conference known for Oline and Brown must have caught the eye of the FO.
Lets support this and hope we get some quality contributions as soon as possible.
