This post was originally called “Rams could still have 7 draft picks” but then Ag says (in the thread) that the 2015 7th round pick they got for Salas went to Atlanta in the Ogletree trade.

So this is corrected.

Without giving you the full article and all its computations, here is the end result of one usually reliable source’s idea of what the Rams will get for compensatory picks:

http://overthecap.com/projecting-the-compensatory-draft-picks-for-2015/

STL 6 Chris Williams $3,287,500

So that’s 1 6th round pick.

Rams traded away a 4th and a 6th for Barron.

If that is true about the 6th rounder (and it looks likely), the Rams roster of picks amounts to this:

1
2
3

5
(6 ?)
7

…

Now that divides just right.

The Rams have a fairly high percentage in rounds 1-3. (By my calculations, 10 of 11 are hits with Pead being the miss)

They haven’t done anything but tease with round 4.(Givens, Jones, Alexander)

They have a decent hit a year in rounds 5-7 (Zuerlein, Stacy, Gaines…and that’s before we know about Bryant or Rhaney).

Well, I truly believe that Bryant is going to be a freaking ANIMAL. He was just given a redshirt year. Jones would have done well this year, but Fisher won’t stop playing Wells. I can’t begin to understand why. He’s already the worst. I’d have to see worse than worst for myself to give Wells any props…

The Rams really like what they saw from Rhaney and thus the competition for the OL may be pretty damn intense with Jones being healthy and Rhaney ready to compete and new and likely at least one high draft pick coming in to compete for a spot.

I swear, though, if Scott Wells is the starting center on day one… Fisher’s “preference” for Vets will have become a fetish…

Sports is the crucible of human virtue. The distillate remains are human vice.

I will not be shocked if we end up with more picks, because I can see us trading down. Not comfortable drafting at 10.

The Salas pick went to Atlanta as part of the Ogletree trade.

I stand corrected. I looked it up, you’re right. Now I have to change the original post.
