7th round #249 overall to the St. Louis Rams

256 total picks in the draft
picked by his hometown mizzou rams

I'm not saying it's nothing but a publicity stunt, but it's nothing but a publicity stunt

definitely a publicity stunt. there will be a 54 man roster for St. Louis and all teams will secretly approve.

They could've gotten him as a free agent.

The more important question is if defense in the SEC is dead? The SEC DPOY of the year and conference leader in sacks and TFL was a 7th round draftee and maybe only as a publicity stunt. This conference has fallen. Much like Sodom and Gomorrah.

If it was for publicity, some team would've taken him much earlier.
The Rams wouldn't have been the only team wanting attention.

Actually, his home town is in Texas. Everyone said he would be a late pick. I doubt the Rams were seeking publicity as much as they wanted the DPOY from the SEC.

There was no well in hell the NFL was gonna let him go undrafted.

I'm sure Goodell made it be known, if he wasn't off the board by the end, somebody was gonna take him with one of those 7th round compensatory picks.

After the year he had he should have went higher. Coming out probably hurt his stock if anything. He was a steal compared to the players picked around him.

Turn the TV on and then tell me what you think. It's too obvious.
