The Rams are on the clock. Glenn Dorsey and Chris Long would look good here (or a trade to New Orleans). The Rams would like to start negotiating but the league says notta.
“They cannot (negotiate),” a league official told the Post-Dispatch via e-mail Wednesday afternoon. “That has been our policy. Only the team with the first pick can negotiate and sign a player. We will re-evaluate that policy (in the future) to determine if any changes are warranted.”

In the eyes of the latest assigned draft expert, Ron Jaworski, Vernon Gholston is going to take plays off on you.
“Vernon Gholston. My personal evaluation didn’t have him as high as some others. I think he’s a rigid, straight-line guy. When I look at tape, I don’t see a guy that shows up on every single play. I don’t get the ‘wow’ factor. I’m not quite sure where he’s going to play with his hand on the in the push position or play as a stand-up linebacker. He’s a guy that if someone at the top of the board doesn’t like him, he could sit around a little bit.”
