Phil Savage reviews the defensive linemen who played in the Senior Bowl and where they were drafted. Aaron Donald was the highest selection of all the players at the Senior Bowl. He was voted the practice player of the week and tore it up while in Mobile. They show Donald in one on one pass rush drills where in one rep, he makes Zack Martin look like he’s on roller skates.

Plus an unknown number of teams that elected either not to try to trade up or didn't offer enough to do so. ;)

I thought Tampa was going to get him, he would've been perfect in that system. Never thought they would take a WR instead...

Hey, don't we play both New York and Tampa Bay? I bet Donald's going to have monster games against those two teams.

Once Donald was there at 13 I was yelling at the TV. He was my guy at 13. So happy we got him. Guy will be a star.

Me too. And prior to hearing about the phone issues, I was wonder what was taking them so long to make the pick.

Yeah it would have took a ton for me to trade down. The kid has rare physical ability and is a perfect scheme fit. He and Brockers will be the premiere DT tandem. Having three young studs like Quinn, Brockers, and Donald means you will have a competitive defense for some time. Love the pick.

Yes. They draft Odelle Beckam over him? WHAT??? They deserve to suck. I was preparing for heartbreak, and boom, we hit the steal of the draft. Donald alone will change our identity on defense. Teams will be mad, bro.

Beckham is a good prospect. He isn't Aaron Donald good though.

Agreed. Compared to Donald, Beckham was a reach. He woulda been a perfect fit, too. Guess they felt they had to replace Nicks. It was a need over BPA decision.

I was preparing myself for the Rams not picking Donald and then started screaming then jumping and down when they took him.

Similar story here. My reaction was quite embarrassing actually. I was petrified we were going Manziel. The Donald pick really reassured my faith in Fisher/Snead. They broke their prototype tall/long armed linemen and Martin would have probably filled the bigger need. They went with talent and Donald will be a star in this defense.

I think all of us in the chatroom were screaming for Donald to be the the pick after the Giants picked Beckham.

I was more excited about the Donald pick than basically all the other picks since Fisher took over. Such a great pick.

It seems Fisher and Snead heard the millions(?) of Rams fans screaming around the world for Donald and listened lol.

When it got to pick 10 I was in the chat rooming wanting Zack Martin, because I thought for sure that the Giants would take Donald. When the Giants went with Beckham, me and everyone else in the chatroom were demanding Donald and were overjoyed at getting him. Man that was a great time

Watching him more and more is getting really excited about him. With all the talent we have on the DL, and the constant rotating of players there should be pressure and penetration every down. There are going to be more forcing TO's, and wouldn't be surprised we lead the league in that department as well.
