	I know alot of Ram fans question this pick , but do not be mistaken. Avery will be a great player for the Rams. I've seen him play live about 6 times. He can run like you never saw someone run and he is as tough as nails. He can stretch any defense with the long ball, and he will catch balls over the middle and take the licks. Plus any time he catches the ball it's possible he could be celebrating in the endzone. You will be praising this pick sooner than you think.

	wins, like I said in another post, I compare him to Kevin Curtis. The only question I had on the pick was, could we have gotten him in the later rounds?

	I agree, I questioned him because I simply never heard of the guy. But doing some research, damn we took the fastest wideout. Can't complain with that.

	sporting news has him ranked as #5 wr, i've read up on him and i like the pick, one thing for sure he wouldn't have been there in round 3 w/the run on Wr there was in the 2nd, and look at his speed and agility stats, he's super fast, and he has hands, everything else can be learned from our vets. which is mainly just route running. http://warroom.sportingnews.com/nfl/draft/2008/rankings//wr

	it also looks like Martz and the 49ers were targeting Avery in the 2nd, and Martz knows QB's and WR's so you can't argue that, and we got to screw the 9ers. http://www.stltoday.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=536508&postdays=0&postorder=asc&&start=0

	I like the draft from the standpoint we took our top ranked defensive lineman and our top ranked WR. If they don't pan out the Brass will have no excuses. Lets hope we can address O line in day 2 or free agency

	My thoughts on why we took Avery over some of the maybe more polished receivers available are this... The greatest show on turf took a serious hit when Az Hakim left... Hakim wasn't the best receiver in the league given his hands of stone but he was fast and teams had to play him honest... Afterall, he did catch like every 4th ball thrown to him and all were in the end zone... That deep speed pulled those DBs deeper down field opening up the short to middle routes for Holt and Bruce, read: less double teams... We haven't had that kind of guy, even K. Curtis wasn't the replacement we needed... Maybe Avery can be that guy for us, if so then its a good pick... We'll see... MT
