Who was the Rams first round draft pick the year you were born?

[Bruce2980]

RB Larry Smith, WR Jim Seymour and TE Bob Klein

Don't look so down, Larry Smith rushed for 2,054 yards

in his career.

But James Seymore had 384 yards receiving a 5 TDs ball:

All for Chicago uke:

Bob Klein went on to make Klein tools. Well not really, but he played for the Rams for 8 years and had 128 receptions, 1606 yards and 15 TDs:giveup:

That was a bad year for firsts round picks

1967 no 1st round pic but we finished 11-1-2 and won our division

The Minnesota Vikings had the Rams first round pick in 1967 and selected...............

Alan Page

 

[Ram Quixote]

1960 Billy Cannon, 1st overall.

Unfortunately, he played for the AFL Houston Oilers.

He was selected as the first overall pick the 1960 National Football League draft and as a first-round territorial pick in the 1960 American Football League draft, resulting in a contract dispute that ended in court. Cannon played professionally in the American Football League (AFL) for the Houston Oilers and Oakland Raiders before ending his football career with the Kansas City Chiefs of the National Football League (NFL).

This thread sucks because my selections are boring.
Howbout the first OVERALL player taken in your birth year?
View attachment 16843:yess:

Agreed, first overall was Earl Campbell my year.... for the Rams... Elvis Peacock. er, yay? Looking through the whole 78 draft it looks like a total failure on Rams part.

1983- Eric Dickerson

I like this game!

 

[DaveFan'51]

I just checked, there where 7 different years the Rams did not have a 1st round pick: 1948-1967-1968-1972-1973-1984 and 1987! Just to save some people from trying to look-up their "Birth-Year" Rams 1st round pick!!

I was born on the days of the draft. April 27th 1992
