So if he falls to the 2nd, do we take him? Assume we acquired a FA DE.
You sprint to the podium if he's still available in the second.
ESPN's Scouts INC has him listed as the 50th best prospect in the Draft.
Based on the lack of picks the new regime has to work with the optimal scenario if they can find a willing trade partner so they could move down to the middle of round one and possibly pick up either a second or third rounder and a sixth rounder...giving the team a full slate of picks. And if Ealy is on the board in the second I would take him.
completely agree, yucc
Not in favor of trading down from 7. There should be two or three elite level prospects there, we need to get as many elite players as possible. Trade down in the 2nd if you want and the deal is right, but we should stay at 7.

Amen
Thinking that Sammy Watkins and Clowney will be gone by 7, not sold on Barr... trade back and accumulate picks

I'd agree. Outside of Bridgewater, Clowney, Matthews, and Watkins, I'd prefer a trade back garnering more picks.

If Sammy Watkins and Clowney are gone, that means either Matthews or a QB is falling
I really think that the Rams will either select Watkins or trade to another team that wants him.

They do have to address their OL at some point. They went WR in rounds 1 and 3 last year.And if a team wants to trade up to #2 overall for a WR, so be it.
Which of their DEs is considered the better prospect?
Really good story about Kony Ealy. http://mizzoumag.missouri.edu/2013/08/sacks-for-sierra/ Sacks for SierraMizzou lineman sacks for his sister.Sierra Jones and Kony EalyMizzou’s Kony Ealy is a menacing defensive end, but he’s a loving little brother to his sister, Sierra Jones, who has a disabling chromosomal condition. Photo by Greg Kendall-Ball.Story by Marcus WilkinsPublished Aug. 12, 2013When Kony Ealy arrived at Mizzou in 2010 from New Madrid, Mo., he was a slight (for a defensive end) 215-pounder waiting in the shadow of future NFL Pro Bowler Aldon Smith. Now he is a 6-foot-5-inch, 270-pound hulk.But ask Kony, 22, about his sister, and he melts.Sierra Jones, 23, was born with a chromosomal condition that impairs her speech. She communicates through sign language and a limited vocabulary, which includes yelling her baby brother’s name when the siblings are reunited after long breaks.“She is always happy to see me,” Kony says. “For all we have been through, I haven’t seen her cry about it or complain one time. She’s incredible.”Kony and Sierra grew up with their mother, Nettie Jones, in a rough area of St. Louis. When Kony headed down a troublesome path during middle school, his dad, Willie Ealy, moved the family to southeast Missouri.Kony was a football and basketball star at New Madrid County Central High School. Sierra took the bus every day to a nearby special education school. While at home, Kony helped with her communication and social skills around friends and family.Eventually, Kony chose Mizzou over schools including Nebraska and Arkansas. The separation was hard on Sierra at first. But she enjoys road trips and crowds, so Tiger games provide a new kind of excitement. Her “little” brother, who dedicates everything he does to Sierra, supplies the gridiron highlights.“She loves being in the car with the sun out, windows down and music blasting,” says Kony, referring to the four-hour car ride from the Bootheel. “She might not always understand everything going on down on the field, but she loves being around people.”

Michael Sam is officially listed at 6'2" 255 lbs so isn't really an option for us.
Ok. Well if he's anything like Aldon Smith as a player draft him!
