28) St. Louis Rams: Nick Foles, Todd Gurley & Tavon Austin

Previous rank: No. 30

Gurley ran over and/or past a lot of NFL-sized players during his time in the SEC. Look for him to keep on rolling, even in the brawny NFC West. If Foles is to have any chance at getting back to his 2013 form, he'll need Austin to provide more consistent glimpses of his playmaking ability.

And why is Austin listed? He's our third receiver at best.

are you questioning the experts at NFL.com?

I don't agree with our ranking at all based on the fact that our best trio consists of our RB who may not even play until mid-season and, as you pointed out, our third best receiver. A combination of Foles, Britt and Cook/Quick might be a better tandem to base our ranking on. But it just goes to show how skewed rankings are.

This is a real head-scratcher. At least do a bit of homework. Gurley won't get to see the field until likely after the bye week.

Should read "Foles - Britt - Mason" or possibly "Foles - Britt - Cook".

 

[OnceARam]

What about Baily? He's by far our most capable wr.

 

[LumberTubs]

Why do these 3 have a previous ranking? They only met for the first time recently.

It's almost as if this article is complete nonsense

I thought when reading the title that it would just naturally be Long, Quinn and Donald.

I don't think we can just try and pin down Austin as WR anymore. He may be the 3rd or 4th best pure WR on the squad, but most of his impact will likely be made in end arounds, hand offs, screens and the like.

That's not to say I'm not still holding out hope that he turns the corner as a receiver, because I think he'd be better served getting the ball in space. I think he'll blow up this year, I just think he's going to see the majority of balls at or near the line of scrimmage.

Because Britt or Quick would have given the Rams too high of a rating, Remember WR is suposed to be the Rams weakness.

1) Long, Quinn and Donald.

Until we have a winning season we will be ranked low.

I'm as big of a Gurley guy there is, but I don't expect him to be the guy immediately due to injury. Austin isn't our best WR, to me it's either Bailey or Quick and who knows how well Quick will bounce back.

This got me thinking. I wonder just how many of our D will show up in the NFLN top 100 after we trounce the League this Year!?! 3-4-5-?
