No matter how meaningless they are, pundits and everyone from Sam at the butcher shop all put together their draft grades for each team one day after the draft. These grades are less than meaningless, but yet we read them and continue to talk about them. Yahoo! gives the Rams a B. B. Smith should [...]
Rams snag Chris Ogbonnaya in the 7th
The Rams added a RB who should be able to compete for depth behind SJ39. Ogbonnaya is a RB from Texas University, coming in at 5’ 11”, 220lbs. He started 13 games last year and ran for 373 yards and 4 touchdowns, while adding 540 yards and three scores in the passing game. He’s a [...]
