A Look at the Rams’ Latest Draft Picks –PD
Strengths: A solid athlete with quick feet and flexible hips, Joyner started at safety as a sophomore and junior and shifted to cornerback last fall as the Seminoles changed defenses. Highly competitive, with good vision and ball skills.

Rams Notes: Joyner Brings “Honey Badger” Qualities to Rams –PD
NFL scouts are among many who have made the comparison, and Lamarcus Joyner has heard them. Joyner, drafted Friday by the Rams with the ninth pick of the second round, plays the nickel and free safety positions, isn’t a blazer and is undersized, but plays with a lot of passion and with good instinct.

Burwell: Nothing Flashy, but Rams Make Right Moves
By the time he came down from the Rams Park war room Friday evening at the end of the second grueling night of his long NFL draft weekend, the stylish silk tie Jeff Fisher wore Thursday was gone, but the wry smile that curled under his bushy mustache was still there.

Rams Pick RB Tre Mason in 3rd –Wagoner
This is the first pick the Rams have made that caught me off guard. I thought the Rams might grab a receiver or quarterback if they were going to add at the skill positions, but didn’t expect any running back to be the choice this early.

Rams Pick Lamarcus Joyner in 2nd –Wagoner
The St. Louis Rams gave up a fifth-round pick to move up three spots from No. 44 to No. 41 to draft Joyner. In the interest of full disclosure, I believed this was possibly the best possible pick the Rams could make amongst all the defensive backs in this draft.

Rams Nearly Doubled Down on O-Line –Wagoner
Much has been made of St. Louis Rams coach Jeff Fisher’s history of passing on offensive linemen in the first round as a head coach.

Gordon’s Tipsheet: Experts Love Rams’ Picks
Day 1 of the NFL Draft was pretty dull out at Rams Park. Jeff Fisher and Les Snead did not trade out of their No. 2 overall pick to collect additional picks. They did not trade up or down from No. 13 overall.
