The Ram team officials and ROD'ers will have a long time to wait before we get to play tonight. The Rams will wait till the 38 selection before having a pick In the 3rd round @ #71. Then we will wait almost to the very end of the second day some 21 selections later & five rounds till the drafts conclusion to select the second time. So 38 very good prospects will come off the boards before we get ours!

Not really sure how many of those touted safeties will be there after 38 selections have gone by. if the Rams do want to get into this free for all its going to cost us selections some of our third day picks maybe all of them. Not worth it to me since the Rams have no $$ to spend on any free agents of note. So those third day 2013 picks are more valuable to the Rams than most have any ideal.
Since the Rams will be in much better $$$ shape in 2014 they could approach it in a balance way & use one of our two first round picks in 2014 to trade back into this 2013 second round. Since next yr they are allegedly to be flush with cap space to purchase more UFA's if desired. Draft picks in 2014 may not be as valuable to the Rams next yr as this season.
The Bengals, Bills, Patriots & 9ers all have two selections tonight a 2014 first round pick might get you in the game. Those touted safeties like Cyprien, Swearinger & Shamarko Thomas are all rated to go higher than our 3rd round pick. Better chance of landing a RB or a WR when its our time IMO.

In the Third Rd. I would be looking @ CB Darius Slay, TE Vance McDonald or WR Wheaton
