Round 7, Pick 21 (228) (From Redskins): Chris Chamberlain, DB, Tulsa
Round 7, Pick 45 (252) (Compensatory selection): David Vobora, OLB, Idaho
The Rams had a classic Draft. They filled all needs and got some depth at the same time. You could question which need was more important and who they picked. The WR pick of Avery had me wondering why Avery? There were clearly mor talented WRs on the board. C.Long is a machine at DE, he will be a great addition to the front 4 of the Rams.
FINAL GRADE: A-
