Draft Grade: B
|
| Improving the defense is clearly a top priority in St. Louis. After adding talented veterans like La'Roi Glover and Will Witherspoon to the roster during Free Agency, the Rams drafted wisely by acquiring athletic Corner Tye Hill in round one and Jon Alston in round three. DT Claude Wroten is a beast capable of dominating in the trenches. Prior to a drug arrest and positive drug testing leading up to the Draft, Wroten was widely considered a first round talent. If he can keep himself out of trouble, Wroten could contribute significantly for this defense. We knew the Rams needed a TE and even projected them to draft one early, upgrading for the overweight Brandon Manumaleuna (who was swiftly dealt to San Diego during the Draft), but drafting two TEs on day one? Interesting strategy. Both Joe Klopfenstein and Dominique Byrd should be good fits for the offense. OG Mark Setterstrom was a good value pick in round seven. |
