2. St. Louis Rams

04/15/09- Jason Smith OT. Most mock drafts have the Rams picking a left tackle here. Not to be overly contrarian, but at one point I actually saw a legitimate argument that the Rams should go QB here. The argument was based in the combined difficulties of Bulger and Green at QB last season. Green has since been cut, and Bulger has struggled with injuries and inconsistency. Might Stafford or Sanchez not be a little tempting for new HC Spagnuolo? In the end, however, I’ll line up with the rest of the free world in predicting a left tackle for the Rams at number two, largely because of the fact that the Rams no longer have Pace. So the question now becomes: Smith or Monroe? I’ll give the edge to Smith on account of his body of work in recent months, particularly the combine, where he seemed to show a bit of an edge on Monroe in terms of overall physical athleticism and upside, although Monroe may be the better pass blocker right now.
