2015 Draft in Review: St. Louis Rams
The NFL draft is over and it suddenly seems like a long time to wait for the next meaningful event on the NFL calendar. But frankly we're still excited trying to break down what it all means for each team and so we're going to share some of that excitement.
That's right every team is going to have each pick broken down as well as a look at their undrafted free agents. Up now? The St. Louis Rams who finished last in the NFC West for the sixth time in the last decade. They added to their strength on the defensive line in free agency, but how well did they build to move off the bottom of the division with their other picks?
Round 1: Todd Gurley, RB, Georgia
Grade: B-
Suspension and injury severely limited Gurley's playing time at Georgia last season, but his talent as a runner was clear enough to see for the Rams to take him just inside the top ten, at the expense of filling a more pressing need at wide receiver. On only 123 carries, Gurley forced 37 missed tackles and gained close to four yards per carry after contact.
Depth Chart Fit: Should start at running back as soon as his surgically repaired knee allows him to.
Round 2: Rob Havenstein, OT, Wisconsin
Grade: B
A big, powerful offensive lineman who helped pave the way for Melvin Gordon's record breaking season. Havenstein opened the season with a positive run blocking grade in nine of his first ten games. However, a slow finish to the season against the likes of Iowa, Ohio State and Auburn, may have raised questions over his ability against top competition, and his subpar Senior Bowl didn't answer them.
Depth Chart Fit: Will be under pressure to slide straight in at right tackle as the Rams re-tool their offensive line.
Round 3: Jamon Brown, OT, Louisville
Grade: C+
Entering draft day the Rams only had one starting spot on the offensive line secured, and in Brown, who may slide inside to guard for the Rams, they double-dipped on the line on Day 2. Like Havenstein, Brown excelled as a run blocker this season, earning a run blocking grade above +1.0 in seven games.
Depth Chart Fit: With the Rams line in a state of flux, Brown will get an opportunity to compete for playing time at a couple of spots.
Round 3: Sean Mannion, QB, Oregon State
Grade: C
Perhaps no selection better illustrated the dire need for quarterbacks with experience of NFL systems, than the Rams selection of Mannion. An inconsistent senior season for the Beavers saw Mannion earn a negative passing grade in six games (including the Senior Bowl), with his low point coming against in-state rival Oregon.
Depth Chart Fit: Nick Foles seems destined to start, but after poor performances for Austin Davis last season, Mannion should get the opportunity to supplant him as the backup.
Round 4: Andrew Donnal, OT, Iowa
The Rams re-tooling of their offensive line continued with the linemate of Brandon Scherff. While Scherff took all the plaudits and attention, Donnal graded at a comparable level overall and actually a little better in pass protection.
Depth Chart Fit: A possible candidate to slide inside to guard like Brown, Donnal figures to be in the mix for backup roles, but has little above him to prevent him earning playing time if he performs well.
Round 6: Bud Sasser, WR, Missouri
The transfer of Dorial Green-Beckham left the way open for Sasser to take on the lead role in Missouri's receiving corps, and he made the most of it. Never earning a receiving grade below -0.6 last season, Sasser tied for seventh in the class with five touchdowns on deep passes.
Depth Chart Fit: The Rams receiving corps has been disappointing for some time, and Sasser will have the opportunity to claim a roster spot and climb the depth chart.
Round 6: Cody Wichmann, G, Fresno State
Earning the fourth-highest grade among guards in this draft class, Wichmann is something of a find for the Rams this deep in the sixth round. The caveat is that he earned his grade against the Mountain West Conference, and he struggled as a run blocker (though not in pass protection) in one of his more testing encounters against Nebraska. The Rams will hope he can build on his consistently strong displays from conference play.
Depth Chart Fit: The Rams upheaval on the offensive line is leaving a lot of jobs, both starters and backups, open for the likes of Wichmann to claim.
Round 7: Bryce Hager, LB, Baylor
A productive linebacker for the Bears last season, Hager graded solidly in coverage but was particularly strong in run defense, only earning a negative grade three times. His 52 stops were tied for 16th-most in the class among linebackers.
Depth Chart Fit: The Rams starters are settled at linebacker, so Hager will have to prove his worth as a special teamer to help secure a roster spot.
Round 7: Martin Ifedi, DI, Memphis
On limited snaps, Ifedi graded extremely well for the Tigers last season, with good grades as both a run defender and pass rusher in spite of missing much of the start of Memphis' season. He showed his potential further with a strong showing in run defense, with four stops, in the Shrine Game.
Depth Chart Fit: The Rams have strength and reasonable depth up front, Ifedi will have to shine in pre-season to snag a roster spot.
The Undrafted:
Louis Trinca-Pasat, DI, Iowa: Another Hawkeye that performed well alongside a more vaunted team-mate, Trinca-Pasat's 31 stops were 12 more than Carl Davis (a third round pick of the Ravens) recorded.
Malcolm Brown, RB, Texas: His 24.8 Elusive Rating was 56th best in the draft class.
Zach Laskey, RB, Georgia Tech: Forced 26 missed tackles on the season and only failed to break at least one, against Clemson, a game in which he registered only four carries.
Tyler Slavin, WR, New Mexico Highlands: A Division II player, Slavin did not play against FBS opposition this season.
Imoan Claiborne, CB, Northwestern State: Recorded a pass defense and surrendered only two catches for 18 yards against Baylor in Week 2.
Bradley Marquez, WR, Texas Tech: Earned the highest blocking grade among draft-eligible wide receivers.
Jacob Hagen, S, Liberty: Played 133 of his 152 snaps against FBS opposition (two games) at free safety, only 14 snaps at strong safety and five covering the slot.
Jay Hughes, S, Mississippi State: Played 346 snaps as a free safety, 70 as a strong safety, 59 covering the slot and a solitary snap as an outside corner.
Darrell Williams, OT, South Florida: Allowed only 12 pressures in pass protection, not surrendering a hit or a sack until his 11th game of the season.
Cameron Lynch, LB, Syracuse: Rushed the passer 118 times, recording 10 sacks, two hits and 15 hurries.
Isiah Ferguson, WR, Arkansas-Pine Bluff: Targeted three times in his one game against FBS competition (at Texas State), Ferguson caught one pass for eight yards; one pass was overthrown, the other target fell incomplete due to a hit by a defender.
Matt Longacre, ED, Northwest Missouri State: A Division II player, Slavin did not play against FBS opposition this season.
Terrence Franks, RB, Texas State: Of the 284 yards that Franks gained on only 15 carries against Idaho, 165 came before contact and he broke only one tackle.

Brandon Phillips used his no-trade rights to prevent the Cincinnati Reds from trading him to the Atlanta Braves back in November, according to a report.
Phillips, 35, has the right to reject a trade because of his 10-and-5 status.
Just last year, he rejected trades to both the Washington Nationals and Arizona Diamondbacks.
Phillips signed a six-year, $72 million extension with Cincinnati before the 2012 season and has one year and $14 million left on his current deal.

Sometimes things don't go as planned – and those moments often make for the best stories. Tripping columns offer readers a chance to share their wild adventures from the road.
I was never supposed to ski on that August winter's day, which explains why I showed up at one of South America's greatest ski hills wearing jeans, running shoes and a thin jacket. I was at Portillo, an exclusive resort with championship-grade slopes situated deep in Chile's interior, right near the Argentinian border.
It sits in a high Andean Mountain pass, and the runs actually cross the main east-west highway.
I was heading up the switchback highway (29 hairpins in all) just to see it, and from the car I could see people gliding down long, fresh carpets of snow. I watched with bright eyes as they skied right over the highway, using avalanche sheds as bridges, and shushed back and forth to the bottom far below. I knew I had to do it, too.
My tour guide tried to warn me off (she'd clearly seen this kind of thing once or twice before). But I would not be deterred. Quickly assembling a rag-tag outfit (borrowed ski pants and hastily arranged equipment, including gloves from what must have been the lost and found), I skied out to lift, whose towers and swinging chairs arched up and out of sight, over a craggy ridge.
Once I was on the lift, I knew I was in trouble. It turns out that I'm not built to ski at over 3,300 metres. I felt dizzy, started seeing tiny translucent stars and was breathing heavily after little exertion. I rationalized that it was just some initial jitters, nothing to worry about. But as I swooshed down the pristine slopes and into the kilometre-long run – the one that crosses the highway – altitude sickness hit me hard. My legs cramped and began shaking as I made my cuts, back and forth. I started to feel nauseous. I took frequent "breaks," my name for a controlled collapse on the mountainside, where I would lay for 10 minutes, my chest heaving, sweat soaking through my shirt.
Needless to say, I was a bit worried. Only one other skier passed me when I was taking a "break." He conscientiously came over to make sure I was okay. I wasn't, really, but my foolish pride shooed him away, with assurances that I was just a little tired and would be on my way soon. A few minutes later I heard a helicopter and wondered if he'd alerted some sort of elite unit of the Chilean ski patrol.
He hadn't, and I made it to the bottom – eventually. I took a long and indulgent break on a little bench before boarding the lift again. It spirited me back over the highway where I made eye contact with an Argentinian trucker. I offered a weary wave, and he, hair slicked back and eyes hidden behind reflective shades, offered a thumbs-up and a toot of his horn. I took it as a sort of congratulations, putting a wan smile on my face as I headed back over the ridge and toward the warmth and safety of the lodge, with nothing more strenuous than a hot toddy in my near future.

Bedford , NH: GST Chairman Roy Stewart expressed disappointment that the Lynch Budget increases "net general fund appropriations" by 14.1% over the previous biennium. Stewart said, "it is unconscionable for government to be growing at an average rate of over 7% a year. This is a budget that throws fiscal discipline to the winds and treats the taxpayers like bottomless pits. The Legislature needs to reign Lynch in."
Stewart noted that both the 2006 and 2007 budgets show current year deficits and questioned why there should be deficits when revenues are running significantly higher than planned. Stewart said "it appears that Mr. Lynch has a problem monitoring and controlling spending. Every other governor, including Governor Shaheen, issued executive orders regarding spending. It's time that Mr. Lynch started spending some of his political capital instead of the taxpayer's dollars."
Stewart also noted the regressive nature of Lynch's proposed tax increases, which include a $90 million tax hike on tobacco and a $10 million car registration tax hike.
Stewart congratulated the Governor for reducing the rate of growth in education spending to 5%. He added that, "there is still a lot of fat in education spending. We should be cutting spending, not increasing it, because for a decade we have been sending money to communities that have no need for State education aid."

Alamagordo was a town in New Mexico once visited by the Seventh Doctor, Ace, and Benny. It was likely the county seat, by virtue of the fact that the sheriff's office was there. (PROSE: First Frontier)
Location information
Though it's possible that a real world location doesn't exist in the same geographic space in the Doctor Who universe, such cases are few and far between. Thus, the map at right is probably a good indicator of the DWU location of Alamagordo.
