Rams/Draft Twitter Highlights
***Nick Wagoner @nwagoner
How’s this for a bargain? Quinn’s cap number total for next 2 years is $9,971,381 and cash payout is $8,630,734.
Safe to say that Quinn will start making well over that two-year total on a yearly basis on his next contract.
Going through some numbers for draft preview series. The case for taking a top WR for Rams goes to winning outside the hashes consistently..
Also, per @ESPNStatsInfo, Rams’ top OL unit played 295 of 968 snaps together last season (30.5%). Only 3 OLs played a lower percentage.
As for secondary needs, Rams allowed opponents 15.1 yards per attempt last season on passes thrown 15+ yards down field, worst in the NFL.
Rams were 28th in completion % outside the numbers (52.1),going 86 of 165, both those numbers ranked 29th. Five TD’s to outside WRs was last

A.J. McCarron makes sense for #Rams. Can be caretaker QB in run-1st O for team with strong D. “Fisherball.” Bradford in make-or-break year.
***Jim Thomas @jthom1
And for Rams fans wondering _ yes, Barrett Jones looks bigger and stronger.
***Chris Mortensen @mortreport
Rams are working out numerous players now that visits to team facility are over. Notre Dame, Ohio St, Tennessee are among team’s stops
Rams will work out a trio Texas A&M players, including Johnny Manziel, Jake Matthews & Mike Evans. Rams have 2 & 13 picks in 1st rd.
***Josh Norris @JoshNorris
Eric DeCosta just said the Ravens have around 180 draftable players. Other years 150 or 140.
***Adam Caplan @caplannfl
For those who don’t think Joel Bitonio can play LT in the #NFL: he has longer arms and a bigger wing span than Jake Matthews.
***Jason Cole @JasonPhilCole
#Rams crew (Fisher, Snead, OC, OL coach) visiting ND, Mich, OSU and Tenn today on priv jet to workout OLs. Visit to Texas A&M coming
***Albert Breer @AlbertBreer
Falcons GM Thomas Dimitroff to Polian on ESPN on what it’ll take to get from 6 to 1: “You and I both know that’s gonna take a future 1.”
1 thing about the RB market people miss: I’m not sure colleges put their best athletes at that positionanymore. Affects what the NFL gets.
***Ian Rapoport @RapSheet
Heard from 2 top scouts who believe #Florida DT Dominique Easley goes in 1st round, even with torn ACL. Would be a shocker… but he’s a beast
Good comparison for Notre Dame OL Zack Martin: He’s Logan Mankins. Both played OT in college, both could play G in @NFL. Martin’ll go early

The Rams have a habit of leaking multiple names of eleventh-hour workouts — and zealously hiding one or two with guys they really want.
