3 (89) Joseph Noteboom, OT, TCU, 84.0

4 (111) Brian Allen, C, Michigan State, 86.5

4 (135) John Franklin-Myers, DI, Stephen F. Austin, n/a

5 (147) Micah Kiser, LB, Virginia, 78.4

5 (160) Ogbonnia Okoronkwo, Edge, Oklahoma, 86.6

6 (176) John Kelly, RB, Tennessee, 80.9

6 (192) Jamil Demby, G, Maine, n/a

6 (195) Sebastian Joseph, DI, Rutgers, 81.1

6 (205) Trevon Young, Edge, Louisville, 82.7

7 (231) Travin Howard, LB, TCU, 83.1

7 (244) Justin Lawler, Edge, SMU, 89.5

Day 1: n/a

Day 2: With just one pick to play with over the first two days of the draft, the Rams didn’t come on the clock until the 89th pick of the draft, and they used that to select Joseph Noteboom, an offensive tackle out of TCU. With Andrew Whitworth over 35 years of age and coming off a season in which he looked mortal for the first time in a while, Noteboom makes a lot of sense as an insurance policy. Noteboom allowed just 13 total pressures in his final year at TCU, and that gave him his second strong college season of pass protection. Run-blocking has been more of a challenge for him, but that has never been less of an issue in the NFL given how much the league is pass first in 2018.

Day 3: Ogbonnia Okoronkwo could prove to be an important player for a team in need of edge rush. He had 10 sacks and 47 total pressures in 2017. John Kelly is an intriguing smaller back that runs with power and determination, breaking 37 tackles last season. They went back to the well at edge with Trevon Young in Round 6 as Young had 40 total pressures in 2017.

The old adage, there's safety in numbers, applies here.

Who knows how many of these guys stick, and how many will be significant contributors?

I'm hopeful for 3 of them. That's more than the norm.

Music to my ears. I have always preferred intelligent players that use instincts and study as a part of their game, as opposed to supremely athletic dopes that can't seem to improve over the years, because they're the same mistakes for years. Especially on OLine.

This seems like a good ratio to me (especially since five of the players were picked in the 6th round or later).
