Yes the current Rams regime values intelligence. That was clear already last year. But not intelligence in isolation. Always in combination with other key factors, such as college production and instincts and the normal measurables. So they're not going to draft a 5'7"120 lb defensive end just cause he's smart. What they ARE willing to sacrifice, looks like, is level of competition in college. Not completely, not with every pick, but that's there in their picks. ... by Elmgrovegnome 5 years 11 months ago Total posts: 624 Joined: Oct 02 2016 LA Coliseum Veteran Something I noticed from scouting reports.

Last year their top 5 picks included a guy from South Alabama and 2 guys from Eastern Washington.This year along with traditional places like Michigan State, Oklahoma, and Tennessee, they had guys from SF Austin and Maine. The last guy drafted from SF Austin was in 2011, by, interestingly, the Rams. Lol. It's okay.
