The Rams need help on defense and help will be on the way come the NFL Draft.
Hey everyone this is Dana Ward with our St Louis Rams NFL Draft Coverage on GamblersTelevision.com.
St Louis was poor defensively last season as they were 31st in the league in points allowed surrendering just over 27 points per game. The defensive end position is in need of improvement because it generated only 5 ½ quarterback sacks last season. Defensive end Chris Long from Virginia makes the most sense here over Glenn Dorsey. Dorsey is a risk this high in the draft due to the knee injuries he suffered last year at LSU that slowed his play. Long possess first step quickness and explosive power at the point of attack. Of his 79 tackles last season 19 of them were for negative yardage. He is also the son of Hall of Famer and former Oakland and LA Raider Howie Long. Long, a versatile player can play in either a 3-4 or 4-3 system. Gamblers Television projects defensive end Chris Long in the first round to the Rams.
