1) Andrus Peat, T, Stanford
2) Cameron Erving, C, Florida St.
3) Garrett Grayson, QB, Colorado St.
5) Tony Washington, OLB, Oregon
7) AJ Tarpley, ILB, Stanford
The simulator had the OT from Iowa and Notre Dame ahead of Peat, I don't know if I buy that.
I like Erving as he has played all five O line positions if I am correct. He has played well once he moved to C this season. Peat gives the Rams the ability to shift Robinson to RT if Barksdale is not resigned (or Peat to RT) or allows Robinson to move to LG (Saffold to RG) if Barksdale is resigned.
Erving could compete for the starting C with whatever hold overs the Rams keep and service as a backup T.
I like Grayson more than most of the QBs rated higher than him. I dont think (in reality) he will last until the 5th round, so I grabbed him in the third.
I don't know anything about the last two picks really, just adding LB depth. The front end and back end of the D is pretty set with decent to good depth, time to upgrade the LB corp.
For fun I also ran a simulation and just picked the top rated player regardless of position or need when the Rams pick came up....
1) Amari Cooper, WR, Alabama
2) La'el Collins, OT, LSU
3) Ameer Abdullah, RB, Nebraska
5) Charles Tapper, DE, Oklahoma
7) Taylor Kelly, QB, Arizona St.
Sort of funny that outside of the Tapper DE pick it really would not be a bad draft overall in terms of positions of need and talent mix.
