With the 2nd pick in the MCM Mock Draft....

....the St. Louis Rams represented by LastSd select....

Glenn Dorsey, defensive tackle, LSU

The best case for the Rams would be Chris Long sliding to them, since C.Long is most complete player and the safest pick. Rams have many holes to fill and would certainly trade down if they could find a partner. However, since this is not possible, it boils down to three players: Dorsey, J.Long, Gholston.

J.Long would be also a good pick; he would back up often injured Pace or may replace a formal first round pick Barron. However, Rams bolstered their offensive line with signing of Bell, who would play LG and help Pace focus on his job (got injured last season trying to pick up the player the guard missed), and also it is too early to give up on Barron. With Rams picking 33rd Offensive tackle position can be addressed, seeing as the position is deep in this draft.  

Gholston would be a good pick if Rams change their 4-3 to 3-4, which they have been trying few times last season. Nevertheless, there is no indication that this will be the case; therefore Rams will pass on the talented DE, who is better suited for 3-4 defense.

Dorsey was ranked first in many draft boards during the season before sliding due to injury concern. The concern is still there but solid pro workout ease the concern. He would step in right away playing along side with Glover and replace last year's first round choice Carriker to his normal position, DE. Dorsey is too small to be NT in 3-4 defence, however, he fits well with the rams 4-3 defence and line of Carriker-Dorsey-Glover-Little will hopefully bring enough pressure to QB to help the Rams' mediocre secondary.

i'm not so sure about that
"The presence of his agents doesn't solidify that Long, the three-time Big Ten Offensive Lineman of the Year, will be the No. 1 pick. The Dolphins are thought to wish to negotiate contract parameters with a least three players prior to the draft. Defensive end Chris Long, formally of Virginia, and defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey (LSU) are believed to be the others."

dolphins is doing smart thing. they will probably sign with someone who would take less money than usual 1st overall pick. this also encourage other teams(who wants j.long)to pick up the phone and call dolphins for trade

Mock Draft
Hi Jimmy -- can I pick for the Texans in the mock draft?

I've been reading this site for quite a while, but I finally signed up tonight. The Texans are my hometown team, but I'm also a Longhorn alum and tremendous VY fan. I would have given anything for the Texans to have drafted him...but what's done is done. At least he went to the team I grew up with (then called the Oilers, of course).

Anyway, I'm a huge Texans and Titans fan. I'm sorry, but I have to root for the Texans when they go head-to-head (though I must admit my natural reaction was to jump for excitement when I saw VY sprint to the 38 yard TD in Reliant Stadium), but I am unabashedly rooting for the Titans in every other game!

I live in Austin, so I get a chance to catch both teams on local TV -- CBS actually alternates between covering the Texans and the Titans each Sunday (lot of VY fans in Austin). But that doesn't matter for me -- on Fall Sundays, I'm always at the sports bar where I can watch 8 games at once. I have to admit that more of my attention goes to Vince and the Titans than the Texans.

Anyway, with that lengthy intro, I'd love to pick for the Texans.

-Chris

Long
I believe Jake Long would have been a better choice because if you improve the line you'll improve Stephen Jackson and Marc Bulger's performance which were down last year due to a poor line. That's not to say that Glenn Dorsey would do great things for the team's weak D but in terms of who would make the team better right now it would be Long>Dorsey.
