The skinny: As
Hall of Famer Marshall Faulk said during NFL Network's broadcast of the draft, Gurley is the whole package at running back and should give the
Rams' ground game a huge boost when he gets on the field. Yes, the medical issue will be in the back of everybody's mind, but the
Rams landed one of the best tailback prospects to come into the league since
Adrian Peterson. Havenstein should set up shop at right tackle, and Brown gives the
Rams a solid run blocker. A lot of folks around the league liked Mannion's potential, and he found a good spot in St. Louis. The
Rams had a very good seventh round to salvage an iffy third day.
Bottom line: Seems pretty clear that Jeff Fisher's plan is to just run over everybody in the league. The team's seventh round might have produced better picks than all but its first one in Gurley.
