So, since 2008, the Rams have had the 1st or 2nd overall pick 4 times prior to this upcoming draft, which has resulted in the following:
2008-Chris Long(Long time starter at defensive end. Good player. Not a bust and was the right pick over Ryan considering the Rams had no way to protect him).
2009-Jason Smith(Bust.)
2010-Sam Bradford(Meh.)
2012-RG3 trade(Resulted in Brockers, Jenkins, Pead, Stacy, Robinson, Watkins, Ogletree, Bailey. Of those players, only Brockers, Robsinson, and Ogletree remain. Jenkins turned into a good starting corner and Stacy gave the Rams one solid season as the feature RB. Bailey is a non-factor. Pead was a total bust and Watkins for a 5th rounder was one as well).
2014-Greg Robinson(TBD)
This team should be way ****ing better than it is now considering where they've picked previously, but inept management(I'm looking at you, Spags, Devaney, and Linehan) messed everything up.
Fisher and Snead have been above average drafting with the Rams. Whoever they pick at 1, IMO, will be turn out to be an above average starter in the league. As for the rest of the team, well, offense is still shit outside of Gurley and Austin and the defense needs to undergo a significant retool do to losing McLeod and Jenkins as well as needing to further develop defensive line depth as Hayes and Sims are being forced into more significant roles than before.
