And Mr. Irrelevant is . . .
Outside linebacker David Voboro of Idaho. The Rams took him with the last pick of the 2008 NFL Draft, thus giving him a free vacation courtesy of the Mr. Irrelevant folks.
The scouting experts are actually excited about this guy, suggesting he could have a legit chance to make the team. Scott Linehan took care of a kid from his alma mater.
So that’s it. The draft is over. Keep pounding away with your comments — I’m sure the Rams read every one of them.


Hey Gordon, what’s why the smart a$$ comment at the end? I’m sure the Rams read everyone one of your articles too. I can see the reason why not many people like you. You sir, are not the high character type the Rams are looking for, so maybe you should start writing for some powder puff games or something.
Post #9, your the idiot. It’s ok for blacks to slam whites but not the other way around? The use of the nigger word is freedom of speach biyatch!
There are tons of morons, the St.Louis kind, all over Lajew, Chesterfield, and creve Couer. St.Louis is all about white flight and I guarantee, almost every poster here who lives in those areas, left the city due to the blacks but use the excuse of the schools. St.Louis is red-necks, fat asses, constant bitchers about life and highway “40″ ala I-64 and Cardinal baseball. Place is the perverbial definition of a true shithole midwest town, a cow town at that. F all of you.
I’m on LSD and you’re all flipping me out. I just wanted to know about the last pick of the draft and read about homo’s and n-bombs. Weirdos.
Really Hitler?
Can we please just get back to football?
I agree that most of these picks were not bad picks at all, the Toledo guy was ranked in the second round in a lot of mock drafts, i like the picks really, except of course Avery. I agree that if you like him that much fine, but tell us WHY THEN, trade down, get something ANYTHING. It’s just sad the St. Louis media does not have the balls to call Scott out and say why Avery then when he was rated so low in comparison.
And to the coast guy, I am a true fan, but when the front office pulls a move like this, as a fan IMO you deserve an answer, and a logical one. Were not trashing all the players, but when we have so much talent, it is hard to take these losses, and all these front office mistatkes

My niggas!
Don’t listen to ‘em Gordo. You’re better than Balzer.
I’m not in the Rams’ front office, nor do I claim to be, so I’ll let final judgement be reserved until the players have played 5 NFL seasons for the final verdict as everyone should.
So that being said, allow me to do my impression of these fanboys who know American football as a baby (and I use that world liberally) born yesterday
*ahem*
“GOSH GORDO! THE RAMS DIDN’T DO WHAT I THOUGHT THEY SHOULD!!! WHY DON’T THEY EVER LISTEN TO ME
*ahem*
“GOSH GORDO! THE RAMS DIDN’T DO WHAT I THOUGHT THEY SHOULD!!!

*ahem*
I hope these boys pan out and if they don’t, the world will go on, folks. There’s more to life than football. GO RAMS!!!!
NBC Sports gives them a D+. I didn’t look at every team but it was the lowest grade I saw given. I think a D+ is generous.
“St. Louis Rams
The Rams got a good player and filled a need with defensive end Chris Long, but went against their draft board to get him. They then reached for Houston Donnie Avery, a raw receiver who may not be ready to do more than return kicks, with the No. 33 overall pick. John Greco of Toledo is a fine tackle pass protection prospect.
Kentucky receiver Keenan Burton is injury prone. Cornerback Justin King is raw and may simply be a workout wonder. Tulsa safety Chris Chamberlain is another “measurables” pick. Idaho linebacker David Vobora is this year’s Mr. Irrelevant.”
Grade: D+
i didn`t think the rams were gona go after any wide outs that early in the draft. let be honest the rams defense perty much suck. the corners cant cover. they are always chacing WR like i did when i learning the game 20 years ago. looking at the rams defense makes me sick . i feel like no one really cares on that team they are just there to collect the money and fame. i can almost garantee if you get ride of most guys on that defense and get some guys from canadian football league they`ll do better job. cuz thoes guys are hungry and these guys are not. the coaching staff are too soft on these guys. lucky for them they dont have me for a coach i wouldn`t even talk to anyone fire most guys from my home b4 i go to work. i have seen better defense on arena football teams then the rams. rams players should be a shamed of themselves for calling themselves pro football players.
