The St Louis Rams are up next in our Reader’s Mock Draft.  As we hit the halfway point there are still plenty of great prospects out there.  The Rams improved in 2012, but still ended up with a losing record.   They have their hands full, trying to keep up with the suddenly very tough NFC West.  The NFC champion Niners have been making bold moves and are loaded with draft picks while the second place Seahawks have made some very strong offseason moves to improve.

The Rams addressed their biggest offseason need by signing former Dolphins left tackle Jake Long but could still use some more help on the line.  With the departure of Steven Jackson, they could be in the market for a running back.  They need weapons for Sam Bradford and free agent Jared Cook could help but losing Danny Ammendola opens up a need at wide receiver.  On the other side of the ball, could a pass rusher or safety make an impact to help Jeff Fisher’s defense?
