September 26, 2014 at 1:58 pm #8529RamBillParticipantMorning Ram-blings: Revisiting the 2012 NFL draft
By Nick WagonerEARTH CITY, Mo. — In the wake of the injury to Washington quarterback Robert Griffin III, the on-field struggles of Dallas cornerback Morris Claiborne and Indianapolis running back Trent Richardson and the off-field issue of Jacksonville receiver Justin Blackmon, the once promising 2012 NFL draft class has taken on a decidedly disappointing look.
Over at Grantland, NFL writer Bill Barnwell decided to take a trip back to examine that class with a breakdown of the top 10 picks.
Obviously, the Rams ultimately didn’t make a pick in the top 10, even though they held the No. 2 overall pick and the No. 6 overall pick at various points in the process. They traded out and grabbed defensive tackle Michael Brockers at No. 14 overall.
Brockers has proved a better choice than many of the players taken in the top 10, and though the Rams didn’t hit on all the picks they received in exchange for that No. 2 pick, the early returns indicate they were wise to move out of the top 10 altogether.
I.C.Y.M.I.
A roundup of Thursday’s Rams stories appearing on ESPN.com. … In the Ram-blings, we took a look back at the Greatest Show on Turf’s impact. … We then re-examined the trade that landed cornerback Claiborne in Dallas and brought Brockers to St. Louis. … Rams coach Jeff Fisher says the split time between running backs will continue. … Rookie defensive lineman Ethan Westbrooks is getting adjusted to playing an expanded role in Chris Long’s absence. … Finally, the Rams wrapped up their bye week work with Thursday’s practice.
