I went with Curry. St. Louis need an identity on defense and it sounds like Curry is the real deal.

 

[Hoos First]

Its either Monroe or Smith. I chose Monroe.

 

[TurfPro]

Eugene Monroe OT Virginia

 

[bobbeaux]

the rams have got to protect the qb . . . monroe it is . . .

 

[Da Bomb]

not sure why jason smith isnt listed, but this pick looks almost certainly to be the best OT available

 

[RLLD]

I went with Jenkins....I think the Ram's need an immediate boost to their passing defense, and this guy has the potential to at least upgrade that unit this year, and perhaps even emerge as a long-term facet to their defense.

I considered the OL and even the WR , Curry a little less so as I see him as becoming an OLB in the NFL with less pass-rushing so much as pass-defending skills

 

[Runnik's Hambones]

Marc Bulger is a good QB, when he has time. Thats why the Rams need an O-lineman. Going with Eugene here.

I personally am torn between Jason Smith and Monroe. Both I think will be solid LOTs. So in these cases, I peruse multiple sites and see who is top favored. At the few I checked...Monroe is still the favorite.

 

[bodey24]

I chose Monroe as well. This will help protect bulger and give him some more time and help S-Jax (if he can stay healthy)

 

[Coachnorm]

I voted Curry just to wreck the curve a little. But they do need an OT in the worst way.

 

[storminn0rm]

Id say Monroe

 

[Sgt John]

Curry. Build with defense.

 

[WesDawg]

Went Monroe in a coin flip over Other (J.Smith). It will be a tackle after they lost out on Jake Long last year, plus how much better scouting can you get on a guy than asking your 2008 1st rounder about him? I'm sure Chris Long and Monroe went at it many times over the past few years at VA.

 

[Coachnorm]

The Rams are expected to sign free agent C/G Jason Brown "in the coming hours," according to the National Football Post

 

[dukdown]

For what it's worth, Steven Jackson was on ESPN saying he hopes the Rams select "the kid from Baylor".
