With the Miami Dolphins signing Michigan tackle Jake Long to a $57 million ($30 guaranteed), five-year deal on Tuesday, the St. Louis Rams are now on the clock. The team appears to be deciding between nabbing either DE Chris Long (Virginia) or DT Glenn Dorsey (LSU). They could also trade down as well.
They could of used the help on the offensive line and with the Dolphins nabbing the prized tackle right off the board, the Rams must now look to address a defense that ranked near the bottom last season in most major catagories.
What makes things real interesting is quarterback Matt Ryan. The Rams are not interested in him too much as Marc Bulger is already established as the franchise quarterback. However, the Ravens and Falcons both reportedly covet the former Boston College signal caller. Will either team trade up to get their man.
The Rams could slide down and if they miss on both Dorsey and C. Long, don't be surprised to see them turn to USC's DT Sedrick Ellis, a name that has been mostly linked to the Bengals in most mock drafts.
Things are going to get real interesting from now leading up to the start up the draft, but clearly what the Rams ultimately decide to do with the No. 2 pick is greatly going to determine how much of the first round will unfold.
