In my opinion the 'sleepers' in the draft are #1 The offensive linemen, and #2, the Wide receivers. Hats off to Chris Long and the Rams, I think he will be an immediate impact player and a very good one.
The offensive linemen taken are important because we all learned last year that depth can be a critical consideration in dealing with injuries. I'm not sure anyone can plan for the number of injuries we had on on the OL last year, but at least we know the Rams are making the correct moves to address that as much as possible, given roster space limitations. (Let's go easy on 'Holy Toledo' references when it comes to Greco).
Our wide receivers need some reinforcement, too,(wouldn't it be nice if Kevin Curtis was still here) - Torry's all world in my book but he's not getting any younger,and the rest of that group have some promise, but limited production on the field. These WR draft picks, particularly Avery, can be the prime receivers in a few years.
All in all, I believe the Rams drafted well. Chris Long will be a tremendous help at DE, and in all cases the organization drafted with the teams most pressing needs in mind. That sounds to me like a job well done. Now its up to the players they placed their trust in to do their part, and please, no holdouts!!!
