But counting on a raw college player that was 3rd sting until a few games ago is a better plan? I’m with zn on this one.

As insurance for Sam’s balky knees? – yeah I think it’s a good risk/plan. Hard to say if he would work out and there are no sure things at 10 overall, but no greater need. Just read where the kid himself said he wasn’t ready tho – I guess he would know. The talent they have stocked is gonna go to waste without a workable number 2 QB plan, that I am pretty sure of.

Not really–but I haven’t heard from him in awhile and am being polite. Not that he gives a shit.

Here’s the thing: I did not see the game. Never saw the kid. Just saw the highlights(mostly of the running back and offensive line of OSU and that tight end). So I have too little info or knowledge of him. However, I would not pick him 10th because the Rams have to address the offensive line at that spot.

I would not take any of these quarterbacks at 10 and that includes the top two guys.

In the second round I’d be a little more open but not necessarily sold and in the third round I’d probably think about it.

Joemad makes three great points against him.

But the Rams don’t have a lot of choice really. They have to roll the dice on someone in some early round.

Hundley, Petty, the kid from East Carolina, Jones–someone. There is no guaranty with any of them.

I like the idea of giving Petty a shot but I saw him all of one game–his bowl game.

I tell you this–I’d rather they pick Jones(3rd round) than give up a single extra pick to move up for Winston or Mariota.

They are going to roll the dice on a young QB this year–and it probably won’t work out. But what else can they do?

Hi PA.

Yeah – 10 is a pretty long reach – but what if he ain’t there in round 2 or 3? You go get your guy if you have done due diligence and he is indeed your guy. Maybe he is dumb – kinda sounds it, but maybe he is just immature. I see the Rams as (finally) pretty solid. They need a QB and OL really…and they have FA and the rest of the draft to get OL. I am sick of QB holding this team back – they are build to play good D and run the ball – they just need a triggerman – if they wait the current talent base will be eroded. I would rather they roll the dice at 10 than trade picks or mortgage the future to move up. Sick of losing.

This ain’t your old OSU anymore either – looked (and were) better than any SEC representative in the Bowls or tournament

Again, I agree – it’s a risk – but Rams gotta do something at QB and it doesn’t look like Mariota or Winston are an option…are they less of a risk even if they were? Winston may be a head case. Mariotta may be good with Chip Kelly but nowhere else. Whatcha gonna do? Sam’s knees are in worse shape than Kurt’s pinkies. Maybe Big Ben or one of the Manning brothers wants to play in St. Louis…er, LA or somethin
