7. (252) David Vobora, OLB

Blogged under Bloglockers, The Draft Report, Front Page, General Rams Chatter by admin on Saturday 7 June 2008 at 8:56 pm

David Vobora is a high motor player but he has problems standing up to bigger players than he is.  Vobora is 6′1″, 236 pounds and he can run a 4.64 40.  He played in 45 games (33 starts) at Idaho and he finished with 341 tackles, had 3 sacks, 28 tackles for a loss, forced 6 fumbles and recovered 3 fumbles.  Look for Vobora to excel on special teams for the Rams this season and maybe a little more than that in the future.

7. (228) Chris Chamberlain, S

Chris Chamberlain wasn’t expected to be drafted but he had a awesome pro day at Tulsa and it caught the Rams’ eye.  Chamberlain is a big guy at 6′2″, 226 pounds and he plays with a high motor.  He played in 50 games (40 starts) at Tulsa and he finished up with 352 tackles, had 12.5 sacks, 32.5 tackles for a loss, 6 interceptions, forced 6 fumbles and recovered 2 fumbles.  He will likely make his mark on special teams for the Rams this season.

5. (157) Roy Schuening, OG

Roy Schuening is a nasty player who packs a wallop in the running game.  He also is a good pass protector as he has a good first punch.  He has problems with quicker players but he handles the big guys.  Schuening is 6′3″, 308 pounds but he’s a tad slow running a 5.3 40.  But, when do guards have to run 40 yards?  Only in practice.  Schuening started all 50 games he played in at Oregon State.  This was a good depth pick for the Rams and he might surprise them with a little more than they expected.

4. (128) Keenan Burton, WR

Keenan Burton should be better than he is and it will be interesting to see if the Rams can get the best out of him.  Burton is 6′0″, 202 pounds but he doesn’t play up to his timed 4.47 40.  His best games were against lesser competition and he’s very injury prone.  Burton played in 46 games (33 starts) at Kentucky and he caught 189 passes for 2,376 yards (12.6 avg) with 25 TD grabs.  Look for Burton to be the #4 or #5 WR for the Rams this season but he could start in the future if he progresses.

4. (101) Justin King, CB

Justin King is very good against the pass because of his combination of speed and good hands.  He is a little on the small side at 5′11″, 185 pounds but he fast as lightning running a 4.35 40.  King has trouble with bigger receivers and he is soft against the run.  He played in 38 games (29 starts) at Penn State and he finished with 90 tackles, he broke up 26 passes, had 3 interceptions and recovered a fumble.  This was a solid pick for the Rams as King will likely help out in nickel defenses as a rookie and help out on special teams.  If he gets a little bit tougher against the run he could be a starter down the road for the Rams.
