			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As giddy as I was after yesterday&#8217;s pick of Robert Quinn, I am equally as disappointed in the Rams&#8217; second-round pick of Wisconsin TE Lance Kendricks. It&#8217;s not anything against him as a player, but I just don&#8217;t understand the rationale behind the selection. WE already have 4 TE&#8217;s on the roster, two of whom were taken in last year&#8217;s draft. Meanwhile, guys at major need positions like Mikel Leshoure, Stephen Paea, Jurrell Casey, Marvin Austin, Torrey Smith, etc. were all available and would have come in and made an immediate impact. I don&#8217;t know what the team plans to do with Kendricks, but I&#8217;m pretty sure they could have accomplished it with Illini Mike, Daniel Fells, Billy Bajema, and Fendi Onobun. Again, not to dog on Kendricks, because he is a pretty exciting player at the position, but we had a chance to really fill needs with highly-ranked players in our first two picks and the Rams had a big swing-and-miss here. Here is a highlight video of Kendricks from his time with the Badgers. Hopefully it will make you feel better about the pick.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After the pleasant surprise that was Robert Quinn on the first day, it&#8217;s time to look forward to Day Two of the 2011 NFL Draft. The first round was pretty crazy with four QB&#8217;s going in the top 12 picks, and there are plenty of very good players left for the Rams over the next couple of rounds.</p>
<p>Honestly, it&#8217;s hard to predict what will happen over the next few days after the wild first round, but the second round should be quite interesting, especially for the Rams. Only one running back went in the opening round, so a guy like Mikel Leshoure is still there and could still be there for St. Louis. DT is another position that should be available, and although a guy like Stephen Paea is still available, I doubt he will be when the Rams pick. How about a guy like Marvin Austin, Quinn&#8217;s teammate from North Carolina? Austin is an impressive talent at DT, and I would have no problem going with Tar Heels in our first two picks.</p>
<p>As far as WR&#8217;s go, I was very disappointed when Jon Baldwin went off the board in the first, but there are still guys like Torrey Smith and Leonard Hankerson available. I know the Rams like Smith, and I really like the big-play ability of Hankerson. Those two will both be options, as will Washington OLB Mason Foster. I don&#8217;t know if Foster will be there in the third, so it might be time to pull the trigger. Also, no safeties went off the board, and I&#8217;m sure the Rams would be interested in Rahim Moore if he were still there, though I doubt he will be. Jaiquawn Jarrett is available as well, so watch out for him.</p>
<p>As you can see, the options for the Rams in rounds two and three are numerous, especially considering our needs and the players available at the positions. I am still excited about getting Quinn, and it is making me look forward to tomorrow even more. Stay tuned, because this thing is off to a good start and it only promises to get better.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Post-Dispatch writer Jim Thomas does his weekly chat every Tuesday, and this one is probably the most fun for me to read with the draft coming up in two days. For those of you who just can&#8217;t get enough of Rams&#8217; draft talk, head over to STLToday.com after you get done here to check out the chat with JT in its entirety. There were numerous interesting things said in the chat, and here are a few of my favorites.</p>
<p>JT thinks the Rams are highly likely to trade down on Thursday, assuming Julio Jones isn&#8217;t available at 14. In fact, he said that he would put the percentage at about 70. That&#8217;s awfully high, especially considering he put the percentage of the team staying at 14 at just 15. I am all in favor of trading down if Jones is gone, so this was music to my ears. This also gives support to the rumors that the Rams are highly interested in Notre Dame TE Kyle Rudolph, which I am starting to hear from numerous sources.</p>
<p>Speaking of receivers, there were several questions about some of the second-round guys in the chat, and JT appears to be leaning towards Maryland&#8217;s Torrey Smith if the team decides to take one there. I am a big fan of Smith, and I would be fine with him, but I still think I like Jon Baldwin and Leonard Hankerson a little better.</p>
<p>Daniel Thomas&#8217;s name was mentioned as a guy the Rams seem to like, which was also music to my ears. Many of you know how big a fan I am of Thomas, and probably the biggest disappointment of the Combine for me was not seeing him work out. I would love to see Thomas in St. Louis, and it sounds like the Rams feel about the same as I do.</p>
<p>For much, much more head over to the s</p>
