Wow, 5th round is better than I imagined for him. I thought it would be like 3rd or 4th

 

[RAMpage28]

Damn son. Bring on all the character concerns!

YAY! Something to talk about now!

 

[Irish]

I guess the reason you take him in the 5th is because you don't think he will be there in the 6th.

It is not fair, but this guy will forever be compared to La'El Collins in Rams country.

 

[FRO]

Does it say something about the guys they drafted? Hope not.

 

[Big Game]

Good pickup for only a fifth round pick if he acts right Load that Oline up

@kdemoff: A live look @STLouisRams war room as we were drafting Isaiah Battle in supplemental draft http://t.co/ExdrPQrf83

Nah. It's all about competition.
Want the job? Win it.

 

[Barrison]

Man this OL could be scary if all our new linemen can reach their potential.

 

[ChrisW]

I agree. Let the best man win. TC should have some good 'ole battles going on. No pun intended.

 

[12intheBox]

I wonder if we will carry 11 O lineman or if we already consider one of the other rooks PS material.

Or is Reynolds in trouble?

 

[Prime Time]

Good find @12intheBox. More on this player at these links...

I like it, said yesterday Id spend a 5th on him if the FO was comfortable with the supposed 'character issues'

Competition breeds success, I look forward to the O-Line battles at camp.
This move gets a big from me!

a wingspan of 85 1/4 inches

 

[RAMpage28]

So that's 5 picks used on o-linemen this year and 6 brought in total.

Additions: Donnal, Wichman, Havenstein, Jamon Brown, Battle, Reynolds

Losses: Wells, Long, Barksdale, Davin Joseph.

I would like to think we have improved here. Bark was the only good lineman we lost. everyone else either sucked or was injured, or both.

This unit has been completely overhauled.

So lets say, for the sake of argument that he wins the LT job. Do you consider G. Rob a bust if he gets moved inside to left guard?

Not if he dominates in there.

@Edwerderespn: Rams GM Les Snead pulled over driving son Logan to Manning Passing Academy to exercise picking OT Isaiah Battle 5th rnd supplemental draft


Think they didn't expect him to be there, or what?
