The last time the Rams selected a quarterback with the first pick in the draft was 2010, when they signed Sam Bradford to a six-year, $78-million contract. “It’s just another thing I’m probably not going to have to deal with much, because I don’t think it will affect me much”.

“I was known as the ‘hero in the half-shirt, ‘ so I had to go with it”, said Elliott, who played with a bare midriff with the Buckeyes.
Goff said he had struck up an instant rapport with Rams officials after he was scouted at the NFL Combine earlier this year. “He was very quiet, but he took care of his friends and he looked after them and the team”, Freedman said.
Naturally, the rediscovered tweet began making the rounds shortly after Goff’s selection was made official by Los Angeles.
The Los Angeles Rams kicked off their first draft since returning to LA in a notable way by moving up to #1 overall and taking Cal QB Jared Goff and then waiting…and waiting…and waiting before racking up a foursome of offensive talents for Goff to develop with in helping to remake the 32nd offense in the National Football League in 2015.
The 6-foot-4, 215-pounds Goff started three straight years at California, where he complied the most completions, passing yards and touchdowns of any quarterback in school history.
Goff is a quarterback the Rams believe can start on Day 1 and someone they can lean on not just to manage games but to win them when needed.
The Rams traded up to take Goff, dealing numerous later-round picks to the Tennessee Titans earlier this month to acquire the first overall selection.
Goff doesn’t have the offensive firepower to work with at this time to compare to Warner’s receiving corps.
The Rams selected SC receiver Pharoh Cooper with their second fourth-round pick. “I’m bringing it. They’re getting a passionate player”. “We’re not going to subject them to fail, so whenever that is, you’re going to see him under center, but we’re not going to come out and Day 1 announce him as the starter”.
Questions about Wentz’s pedigree having played college football at a second tier school have been offset by his 20-3 record and impressive showing at the Senior Bowl in January.
A video shared on Tunsil’s Twitter account Thursday night showed him smoking marijuana out of a bong-gas mask contraption. Shortly after he was drafted, his Instagram appeared to be hacked with screenshots of text messages alleging Tunsil asked an Ole Miss coach for money to pay rent and bills.

But the damage was already done as a number of teams selecting in the top 10 passed on Tunsil. If he fails, the trade could set the Rams back for a while. The charges were dropped, but the NCAA suspended him for seven games after learning of the impermissible benefits he received, and his failure to comply with the investigation.
