Alright, let's look at the Rams while we're waiting for BCF.
1. DT Glenn Dorsey
2. OT Sam Baker
3. WR Andre Caldwell
4. C Mike Pollack
5. OG/OT Kirk Barton
6. CB/S Michael Grant
6. ...
I think the Rams' most outstanding need is still passrushing. They will be strong as hell in the middle but that doesn't always translate to strong passrushing. And as discussed already, the Rams are thin at DE.
I think they have to go there for this pick. There is a trio of solid guys on the board: the undersized passrushing specialist Chase Ortiz from TCU, West Virginia's Johnny Dingle whose one year of production showcased what could be starter-quality ability, and Iowa's workhorse Ken Iwebema, a jack-of-all trades DE who's tough as nails.
My pick would be Dingle, simply because the Rams need more than what they would get from Ortiz. If they were in need of a specialist I'd opt for Ortiz, but they're in need of a guy who can take a lot of snaps, and Dingle seems to be the most promising, although Iwebema would be the smart pick. Iwebema may never be a star in the NFL but his toughness and refusal to get run over would be a perfect compliment to a Dorsey/Carriker DT corps. The Rams routinely surrender insane rushing numbers, but with Iwebema that could be a thing of the past.
