EARTH CITY, Mo. -- After a big weekend in which the St. Louis Rams made headlines by drafting defensive end Michael Sam and earned rave reviews for their draft class as a whole, everybody wanted a chance to talk to them about it.

So it was that coach Jeff Fisher, general manager Les Snead and others made the radio rounds discussing all things Rams.

First, Snead joined Mike and Mike to discuss the draft, including where No. 2 overall pick Greg Robinson will start out.

Next, Fisher joined Colin Cowherd in "The Herd" to discuss the team's selection of Sam in the seventh round.

Fisher also joined The Fast Lane for more discussion of Sam and how Donald fits into the defense.

Nothing more to add here, listen and enjoy at your leisure.

Marcus Roberson CB Florida jumps out on this list.
Looking at my Lindys draft mag they had him rated as the #4 rated CB prospect. This was an early printing of the magazine.
Good size at 6' and 195lbs.
Chronic knee and ankle injury issues. Could be a find.
I also like the LB from Cal Poly. I know nothin of him but he is from my home town school, so he should be on the 53 man roster by default.
