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

[jetplt67]

We traded our first round pick in 1967 to the Vikings. I remember coming out of the womb complaining about that trade.

1963 #1 Pick was Terry Baker - QB Oregon State
1962 Heisman Trophy Winner
Was with Rams for 3 seasons, and 1 season in the CFL. Might have been the first Heisman winner who didn't make it with the Rams, and certainly wasn't the last.

Oh man Corbin. Bite your tongue. I loved me some Johnny Johnson.

He finished 4th in my Top Ten All Time Ram Safeties post earlier this year. Played from '80-88, had 21 picks and 4 taken to the house in his time as a Ram. Very good player.

haha Thank you for the break down Roman! Just when I think my fandom catches me up on at least of guys I come across someone I've never heard of before! I read his wiki page but thank you for giving me some info!

 

[RamBall]

No 1st rounder in 1968, QB Gary Beban and G Mike LaHood both taken in 2nd round. WR Harold Jackson taken in the 12th round played 16 years for the Rams, I actually remember his name as he played into my teenage years before I fried my brain.

 

[RedRam]

Marlin McKeever. I had to look that up.

1959

Dick Bass

In the 7th round, the Rams selected Eddie Meador, who went to college with my Dad.

The primary reason I have been a fan all these years.

OK - the draft before I was born in the same year was this guy. Can I take him?

The year before, it was this guy:

Can't say I remember Marlin. Apparently he played for 5 teams and 2 of them were us.

With the 1st pi pick in the 1952 NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Rams select Bill Wade, QB, Vanderbilt.

My birth year is 1991. So that means that Todd Lyght was who we drafted then. I knew there was a reason why I liked the guy so much!
