St. Louis Rams 2007 Draft Preview

Football Betting Lines

04/04/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Rams were extremely active in free agency, signing arguably the top wide receiver on the market (Drew Bennett), a very good tight end (Randy McMichael), serviceable linebacker (Chris Draft), two players with potential to step into the starting secondary immediately (Mike Rumph and Todd Johnson), and trading for a former double-digit sack man (James Hall) to bolster the pass rush. Following those moves, it looks like the team's most pressing need is on the offensive line, where head coach Scott Linehan was rarely happy with St. Louis' play a year ago. The Rams also need a defensive tackle in a major way, but it is unlikely that there will be a first-rate DT available at No. 13. In what should be a pretty good first round for linebackers, the names Patrick Willis (Ole Miss), Anthony Spencer (Purdue), and/or Lawrence Timmons (Florida State) could come up in the Rams' first-round discussions.
