The St. Louis Rams select Brian Price, DT, UCLA.
I really thought about a corner here, but the one who had real value to me, Robinson, seems to be too risky of a selection. He's the most physically talented corner in the draft, but he has serious character and motivational concerns and doesn't play up to his ability.
Price was a monster in his three years at UCLA, particularly last year when he registered 7.5 sacks.
If I'm Spagnuolo, I can't count on Adam Carriker for anything. He was hurt last year and in 2008 played like garbage as a 3 technique. His most productive year was his rookie year, when he played nose.
Unforunately, this team has invested a lot of resources in DL, but none of them can rush the passer save for the decrepit Leonard Little. Getting Price here and putting him in at 3 technique will help out draft disappointment Chris Long, even if I think he's ideally suited as a left end.
