The Rams have picked ILB Josh Hull with the 254th overall pick (7th round) of the NFL Draft.  Hull is 6′3″, 236 pounds and he runs a 4.9 40.  Hull can make all of the tackles between the tackles but he doesn’t have much more range than that.  He will likely have to earn a spot on the special teams to make the Rams’ roster this year.  Hull played in 13 games for Penn State last season in which he had 116 tackles, 8.5 tackles for a loss, 2 sacks, he broke up 2 passes and he had 2 interceptions.  Hull played in 52 games in his four years in college in which he made 216 tackles, 14.5 tackles for a loss, 3 sacks, he broke up 6 passes and he had 3 interceptions.  It never hurts to draft a linebacker from Penn State this late in the draft.

The Rams have selected DE George Selvie with the 226th overall pick (7th round) of the NFL Draft.  Selvie is a tad small at 6′4″, 248 pounds but he runs a 4.75 40.  Despite being a little small for defensive end Selvie makes up for it because of his strength.  He played in 13 games (all starts) for South Florida last season in which he had 42 tackles, 9.5 tackles for a loss, 3.5 sacks, he batted down 2 passes, forced 1 fumble and he recovered 1 fumble.  Selvie played in 51 games (50 starts) in his four years with the Bulls in which he had 227 tackles, 69.5 tackles for a loss, 29 sacks, he batted down 8 passes, forced 9 fumbles and he recovered 5 fumbles.  This was outstanding value for the Rams as Selvie is a much better football than most of the guys picked this late in the draft.

The Rams have picked CB Marquis Johnson with the 211th overall pick (7th round) of the NFL Draft.  Johnson is 5′11″, 191 pounds so he’s a bit on the small side.  He had 29 tackles and 1 interception last season for Alabama.  Jackson had 80 tackles and 3 interceptions in his four years with the Crimson Tide.  Jackson will likely have to make the Rams on special teams while he learns defense.

The Rams have picked DE/OLB Eugene Sims with the 189th overall pick (6th round) of the NFL Draft.  Sims is 6′5″, 248 pounds and he runs a 4.7 40.  Sims had 56 tackles, 13.5 tackles for a loss, he had 7 sacks, broke up 5 passes and he forced 3 fumbles last season at West Texas A&M.  The Rams will likely try to move Sims to OLB as he doesn’t have enough weight to make it as a DE in the pros.

The Rams have picked TE Fendi Onobun with the 170th pick (6th round) of the NFL Draft.  Onobun is 6′5″, 250 pounds and he runs a 4.6 40.  He is a very raw player as last season was only his second since the 7th grade.  He played in 11 games for Houston last season and he caught 2 passes for 33 yards (16.5 avg) with a TD.  He also blocked two extra points last season.  The Rams will likely take it slow with Onobun on offense while he is helping the team on special teams as a rookie.  This is a boom or bust pick.
