I get why a QB should be taken in first round. If QB in first round doesn't produce right away, Jeff Fisher is out of job. So he will go with known commodity in Sam for 2014. IMHO
The only thig known is Sam is a injury waiting to happen to happen. i understand sam is accurate and smart and has big arm but he hasnt proving anything in this league. by my calculation sam want be ready when season starts i beard it takes longer if u tear the same acl again. I think its atleast a yea. So i dont think he would start practicing until end of aug. Even if they do bring him back i would still expect them to draft qb in the first. Even if we retructures his contract we still need insurance. If Sam comes back and stays Healthy we could Trade the Qb in 2 years

The more I think about this trade the more I like it. I didn't realize at first Barron was drafted in the top 10.
The Rams have 8 first rounders on their D counting Barron. If they can all get pulling in the same direction....

Did I miss someone?

But point made. This Defense should be killer.

haha. No you're right.
I was thinking JL and JJ too.
I must have been rounding up.

Things could change ....but this is the Rams healthy DB's presently:

Safety
TJ McDonald
Mark Barron (just arrived in STL)
Mo Alexander (In-Active the last two wks & saw very limited action in only 2 games on ST's)

Corners
EJ Gaines (Rookie)
Marcus Roberson (Rookie)
L. Joyner (Rookie -Nickel & reserve FS)

Wonder if Mo Alexander plays in the Dime package?

Let's not forget third rounders like McDonald and Johnson. Johnson was regarded as a potential first-round pick before his issues off the field, and McDonald was highly regarded as well.

But I agree with your point and fearsomefoursome's point as well. The D needs to play up to their potential, and hopefully Barron helps them get to that level.

I should have also mentioned that both DB's Joyner (hip) & Roberson (foot) have injuries too.
