The First Draft Crush You Ever Had

LaVar Arrington is the first one I can recall. Dude was an absolute animal in college and this is around the time when I started get interested in watching college games. Thought he'd be a first ballot HOF and a wrecking ball in the NFL. I knew the Rams would have zero chance at him, but, its ok, we got a consolation price in Trung Canidate

Guess - just thinking about Tob Gould as well now after watching this video.He wasn’t the coach,but adding a connection to The Now.

LOL.

I worked with a guy who played DB at Cal State Northridge (under George Allen no-less) before they eliminated the program. His claim to fame was making a solo tackle on Faulk in the open-field. Though to be fair, it was along the sideline so he had 'help.'

A fun listen to hear him tell it...

Every QB we picked up, between Bulger and Goff.

Qb purgatory is no fun.

Ndamukong Suh. I remember being amazed at the way he single handedly dominated Colt McCoy and that entire Texas offense that year.

George Allen ? You sure he remembered the team he played for ? IMO there was a long history of The Rams in Long Beach.My friends wife’s dad won a Superbowl with Allen.
BTW - Terrel Davis played for him with the Chargers ex-HC who played QB.
You might want to fact check his claim to fame.Did they even have a program there ?

Division ? The Pacific West Conference was one of The Best Passing league in the NCAA. Became The Big West.

IMO CSULB would have had Football Stadium & still been in The Big West with Vegas. His death stunk. Was questioned & I questioned it as well like his wife.

Holt, Bruce, and Moss with Martz would've been insane...

Orlando Pace. Couldn’t believe we traded up to get him.

The Jets have the distinction of trading away the rights to future HOF LT's Orlando Pace and Walter Jones in the same draft.

I remember thinking Marcus Dupree was going to light up the NFL after the Rams drafted him. I dont think he ever played in a regular season game. Gurleys knee lasted much longer than Duprees knees. He was one of many talented RBs the Rams drafted that just never panned out.

He did play in a few games for the Rams, but not a ton.
