Rams Select Justin King With The 101st Pick


St. Louis Rams Select Justin King with #101 Pick - Greg Herrington





The St. Louis Rams selected Justin King CB - Penn State with the 101st overall pick in the 2008 NFL Draft. The theme for the 2008 draft so far would be speed. Justin is a flat out speed burner with a 4.31 40 time. Justin is average size at about 5'11" and 190 pounds. With only 3 picks at Penn State during his career his ball skills have been question. Justin will give the Rams more depth in the secondary and also special teams. Along with Donnie Avery, Justin can also return kicks. Donte Hall did not have a great weekend I think he may be expendable in 2008.

Rams Select Keenan Burton With The 128th Pick


St. Louis Rams Select Keenan Burton with 128th Pick



The St. Louis Rams selected Keenan Burton WR - Kentucky with the 128th overall pick in the 2008 NFL Draft. The run on speed continues. Keenan can run a 4.45 40 and can also return kicks. Keenan is great after the catch, which is why Scott Linehan likes Donnie Avery. I like the fact he knows how to score. Keenan had 21 touchdowns over the last two years at Kentucky. At 6' and 205 pounds he is more physical than Donnie Avery. This could be a player we can use to go over the middle. Injury issues have dropped him down this far in the draft. Keep that speed on special teams coming. Hopefully will compete with Avery for the #3 receiver position in 08'
