Good draft. Carriker is a promising defensive end who should be an immediate starter, Leonard can play either HB or FB and will probably do a little of both in the Scott Linehan offense (not to mention he's a good receiving threat out of the backfield) and Wade has good size and exceptional speed, but some technique issues. Well worth a third-rounder, if you ask me.

[St Louis Rams News]

The Rams drafted Carriker in the hopes that he can be sturdy enough to play inside, and with Leonard Little and James Hall on the roster, the d- line has the potential to be very good. Leonard is an intriguing talent who figures to spell Steven Jackson for 7-10 touches a game. Wade will compete for a job in a secondary that includes a number of new faces. On the second day, Fry represents insurance for the embattled Richie Incognito, and Keith Jackson, son of the former NFL tight end of the same name, could contribute in the line rotation. Ryan and Stanley were among the biggest reaches in the draft, and both could have trouble making the team. If St. Louis was going to take some risks, it might have done so with a linebacker or two that could contribute to a currently average group.
