2014 Rams: Fearsome Foursome 2.0?

[SoxFanInPdx]

So, I was gonna see if SFiC would start this off, but I decided to be assertive and get the ball rolling on this.
 
The Rams head into this upcoming draft with 2 picks(the #2 pick from the Skins'/RGIII) in the Top 13, but also giving them in total - 12 selections in this draft.
 
Do the Rams trade the pick and stock up more picks for this year and the future?
 
Do they take Clowney if the Texans go the QB route and pair him with an already scary defensive front line of Quinn and Long? Or do they give Bradford some protection on the OL by taking Robinson?
 
A lot of questions going into this draft, but with the signing of Britt to give Bradford a much needed weapon at WR. It appears that this season is make or break or Bradford himself. So, not a lot of news to pass around free-agent wise besides the acquisition of Kenny Britt. They did get Roger Saffold back after he failed a physical with Oakland, but inside sources have said that the Raiders had second thoughts about the amount of money they were going to pay him and used the failed physical as an excuse to back out of the deal.
 
Playing in the toughest division in the NFL should also make this season one to watch for the Rams.

No love for Brockers in that Fearsome Foursome?
 
I hope they let Austin loose this year and get him some more touches.
 
They do need some o-line help and they could also use an impact player in the secondary, mainly at safety.
 
They have all the makings of a decent team, it's really too bad the play in the West. That division is going to be brutal this year and for the foreseeable future.

They are shopping #2...if they fail to do so I believe they will take Clowney.  They go safety or CB at #13 (Ha Ha Dix or Justin Gilbert is most rumored).  Fisher traditionally gets mid round offensive line help and coaches them up.

Love Brockers. Can't believe I forgot to mention him. Anyway, as far as safety goes - they're been eyeballing Clinton-Dix in this upcoming draft. As a Bama' fan, I saw plenty of him and think it'd be a good pick up for them.

Given the nearly unprecedented haul St. Louis got for RG3, I think this article becomes an interesting read. 
 
And I'm sorry Sam Bradford, but for the Rams to have all these high picks and not bring away a franchise QB to go with their other talent would be criminal. I think St. Louis is a prime candidate to take a QB with a late first/early second round pick they acquire in trade for #13 or #2.

Mike Tanier doesn't think highly of Sam Bradford's past or future.
 
However, he does pen a companion column that makes clear that the real problem with the Rams offense begins with Brian Schottenheimer's philosophy and choices.
 
Taken together, this is a pretty dire indictment of the Rams and their offense.

Fantastic draft yet again. Robinson is an absolute freak and will help protect Bradford hopefully. Taking Donald at #13 was a fantastic pick. He'll lineup next to Long, Brockers and Quinn. Pretty terrifying for the NFC West and the NFC in general. Just not sure where the points will come from.
 
So, in comparison to what Washington gave up to get RGII, it equates to...Brockers, Jenkins, Pead, Watson, Ogletree, Bailey, Stacy, Robinson. Not a bad haul at all.

Would really like to see the Rams invest in Bradford's backup/replacement/kick-in-the-ass either tonight or tomorrow. I'm not a Bradford believer and think the Rams need to cut bait on him unless he absolutely rips it up this season. Negotiating an extension - a fair one - given his dinosaur contract is going to be hard (see Stafford/DET) and probably not worth it unless he leads them to a division win/playoff win over one of the "big" teams in the division.
