The Rams came within one game of making the playoffs. Like the Lions, with a few more pieces in place, this team could actually win the NFC West with a winning record.
A lot of people are saying the Rams need to find a wide receiver, preferably a big one, for Sam Bradford. It was hard to judge Rams wide receivers Laurent Robinson, Danario Alexander, and Brandon Gibson last year. With Julio Jones gone to the Texans in this mock, it’s too early to go after North Carolina wide receiver Greg Little or Pitt's Jon Baldwin.
Defensive tackles Corey Liuget from Illinois and Temple's Muhammad Wilkerson fit the scheme as tackles who can get after the Quarterback.
Outside linebacker could be a position of need and North Carolina’s Bruce Carter could make a difference.
And sitting there at tight end is Notre Dame's Kyle Rudolph, probably one player who could give Bradford a reliable target and help the blocking for Stephen Jackson.
It comes down to the tackles and the tight end.
Given Spagnola is a defensive coach, Wilkerson is the right pick. He may take a while to develop because he’s stepping up from the MAC but his size, strength, and pass rush ability from the inside is undeniable and a need in the Rams scheme.
