Did the Rams reach for Avery?
ESPN.com’s Matt Mosley offered this assessment:
“Sort of shocking to see Houston’s Donnie Avery become the first receiver taken in this draft. If you had him in your top five in the mock draft, you’re lying. I met Avery at the combine. He has elite speed (4.25) and he’s an excellent kid. Kudos to agents Vann McElroy and Graylin Crain. They’ve been talking Avery up for months. And when they told me he could go early in the second round, I thought they were just being typical agents. The second pick in the second round? Are you kidding me?
“Michigan State’s Devin Thomas, projected as high as No. 11 on some mocks, was the next pick after Avery. The Redskins had taken a long look at Oklahoma’s Malcolm Kelly and Kansas State’s Jordy Nelson, another McElroy client. Nelson just went to the Green Bay Packers at 36.”
Should the Rams have taken Thomas? Perhaps. It will be fun to see how all these receivers pan out.


Lok at prior posts; this is one of the worst if not the worst choice the Rams have ever made. Even if, best case scenario he is the 2nd coming of T. Holt, he could have been taken later. This truly shows the Rams incompetnece in drafting players. I have4 PSL’s and was happy wiht the choice of Long; not with Avery; want to buy my PSL’s?
