Greg Robinson OT Auburn
Ryan Shazier LB Ohio State

Just a quick prediction, no idea what numbers they will go but think the Rams will walk away with these two.

Hoping we can trade down from 13 before we take Shazier. Don't see many threats to take him in the teens.

My druthers haven't changed in the last two months. Matthews and Ha-Ha. Hopefully after a small trade down with each pick.

I don't really see the need in drafting a LB so high though.

We play alot of nickel (2 LB's) so Laurinaitis and Ogletree have that taken care of. We have Dunbar for the base defense, and guys like Ray Ray and Bates who have shown alot on special teams and look like they could possibly be very good backups. That's just my thoughts though.

I agree, I like the possibility of trading down with Miami. Miami seems hot on Zac Martin.

I agree, I would prefer a trade down at 2 and get Evans or Matthews and if Dennard is there at 13 would like that. I just made a prediction, not exactly how I would do it but I really think this is the direction we are going in.

Its worth noting a lot of folks have Shazier as a better player than Ogletree. Laurinaitis is a bit of a liability in coverage, I would suspect JL turns into a 2 down backer.

I honestly hope #2 is either Clowney or Watkins, trade up from 13 and land an OT or whoever they feel is another elite player. We have enough draft picks to move up and down a few times.

Ehh, I kind of have to disagree with you on the 2 down LB part. I do agree JL isn't exactly great in coverage but he's still good. He's a leader and seems to do everything very well. He's the QB of the defense. He'll stay on the field.

Shazier may or may not be better than Ogletree, but Tree had a great rookie year and I don't see us replacing him. Shazier is a very good player and I wouldn't mind having him.. but I feel we could get a great player at a position of need instead.

I definitely have Shazier as a better prospect than Ogletree, hands down. Wasn't a fan of that pick though he has grown on me.

Matthews and Mosley.

They are being too transparent about Shazier and you hear nothing about Mosley interest even though they scouted him at the end of the year and met him at the combine. He is a better fit as a future replacement for JL if he gets hurt and he can play the run better than Shazier.

Manziel at #2, the trade up for Bridgewater at #3.

Let Bradford, Manziel and Bridgewater battle it out.

I heard Tebow is looking for work, maybe we can throw him in the mix too. Imagine all the press we'll get!!

Shszier is a combine climber. Few people were talking about him before his eye popping workouts. I watched lots of OSU and Shazier did not stand out like Ogletree did for Georgia.

Ogletree is a beast. He is a fumble causing manster. That was a great pick up for the rams and I think he is gonna keep improving.
