Unfortunate ending to a terrible draft decision. Fisher and Snead have few blemishes on their draft history, but this one is without question the worst of the lot, especially when you consider that the pick acquired from the Bears to take Pead (52) was used to pick Alshon Jeffery (45)
Pity. Hope he has a speedy recovery

True. Chances are slim he'll get picked up off of waivers, so you never know. Might not be the end, end.

He has some serious skills. Maybe a fresh start and a new scheme would do him good after his recovery. Not sure if he would get picked up, but his contract is cheap. If he does comes back to the Rams though, I would love to have him for his ST play and 3rd down back skills. He's definitely got a spot on this team I think. Always going to be a bust of a pick, but he can still contribute.

It would be stunning if any team would claim ANY running back off waivers with an ACL (out for the year) and under contract for 2015. Additionally what do we have to lose by keeping him on IR to see if he ready next off season.

I was one that liked this pick. Thought he was overlooked coming out and really thought he could contribute. I still think there is a good player there.

My opinion is that he is a BUST at the position we selected him...It's not his fault about when he was selected, but he doesn't know how to run the ball in the NFL, so I don't know how being a disappointing player coming off an injury next year, is going to make the situation better...Not hating, but it's time to give up on the Pead experiment, imo.

Jeffery had 'red flag' written all over him when he was coming out. Overweight, etc. Hindsight is 20/20. But yes, we should have drafted him instead.

...with Michael Kendricks and Bobby Wagner still on the board where we desperately needed a LB, and we dropped those 7 slots to get a 5th rounder that netted us Rok Watkins. Also worth noting, Lavonte David was still on the board when the Rams took Pead, but Kendricks and Wagner were higher on most draft boards at the time. So yeah, we can call that one a miss.

terrible draft decision? wow.
kids biggest issue was his character early on - which wasn't a red flag coming out if i remember right....kinda ironic that the guys with "character issues" like ogletree, jenkins, etc. have turned out fine but the "Good kid" had maturity issues early on..go figure.
hope for a speedy recovery and his return next year - kid was a stud on ST coverage and our best 3rd down back, he will be missed
