1 - Tye Hill, CB, Clemson (5-10, 185); 2 - Joe Klopfenstein, TE, Colorado (6-6, 255); 3 - Claude Wroten, DT, LSU (6-2, 302); 3 - Jon Alston, OLB, Stanford (6-1, 223); 3 - Dominique Byrd, TE, USC (6-3, 255); 4 - Victor Adeyanju, DE, Indiana (6-4, 267); 5 - Marques Hagans, WR, Virginia (5-9, 202); 7 - Tim McGarigle, ILB, Northwestern (6-1, 242); 7 - Mark Setterstrom, G, Minnesota (6-4, 314); 7 - Tony Palmer, G, Missouri (6-1, 344)
Analysis: To the surprise of no one, the Rams took a cornerback with their first selection, trading down and selecting a good player in Hill. Elsewhere on the defensive side of the ball, St. Louis stole Wroten, who was believed by some to have first-round talent but fell to the third. Adeyanju isn't quite the pass rusher the team needed to complement Leonard Little, but he has potential. Much will be expected of Klopfenstein and Byrd, who will be essential to new head coach Scott Linehan's offensive scheme. Of the second- day picks, the most intriguing is McGarigle, who has a better-than-even chance of making the opening day roster as a special-teamer.
Bottom Line: Rams didn't make a big splash, but on paper seemed to improve themselves all-around.
Grade: B

I though they could use a receiver higher up the draft...but a rather safe draft on the parts of the Rams...
