When I heard this pick at the Draft, I was disappointed.  We could have chosen Kelly, Jackson, Sweed, or Thomas ahead of him.  Then, I saw his highlights, and they were pretty good.  He also runs a 4.34 40, which is really good.  He will be a better fit under Holt and Bennet, and will eventually contend for the #2 receiver position.

I DONT QUESTION THIS PICK. i happen to agree with you on how effective avery will be in 08. In fact, I think that two of the reasons Rams have been so inconsistent is because of key losses ( i consider) in WR Az- hakim and Grant Wistrom at DE, two spots the rams just filled. Funny the rams may have been two spots away from multiple title runs.

Agreed. I'm with you!!! I did not think the draft was an A or even an B for our Rams. The Avery pick had me perplexed, and then the Greco pick had me throwing burritos against the wall.

IKNOWALOT i really like your love for the Rams but you say some crazy things. hakim lost us games. grant wristom was the man i cant lie but the rams r not to pieces away from title runs. they lost the heart warner had that is not being refilled by bulger. i think bulger is a great quarterback but warner had a love for the game. arenas williams left dre bly left. two very good corners. london flecther had a brilliant career i really give us atleast another year

I personally rated our entire draft as a b-/c+. I hope Avery pans out and develops into a high quality receiver... I'm not sure how likely that is when the guy was known as a one trick pony in college... a deep threat only.... and that was while playing for Houston... its not like he did this against top competetion. again I hope the pick pans out.
we did nothing in the draft to help our linebacker unit. Both the kids taken in the 7th look to be tweener weakside linebacker/ strong safety guys. If the Rams were wanting a linebacker like that they could of drafted Ali Highsmith from LSU who ended up signing a free agent deal with the Cardinals.
Both the o-line picks could end up being really good. Getting a solid guard like schuenning that late was a gift.... Incognito can't stay healthy and I wouldn't be surprised if schuenning gets a lot of playing time @ RG.
Of course Chris Long was a solid pick. Hopefully Avery doesn't end up being another Brian Leonard..... an insane pick in the second. We could of gotten CB Brandon Flowers, LB/DE Quentin Groves, LB Dan Connor, QB Chad Henne and Brian Brohm or ANY other wr with that second pick.
The big weaknesses look to be @ outside linebacker, CB & SS, and backup qb....gimme a break... one flick in the ear and Trent Green will be on IR(he should of retired)...... we best find a young qb to develop after training camp on the waiver wire.

If Avery is that fast and that tough, then we could have a Steve Smith type player in 3 years people.  Not bad.  But then again, he could be a bust and never even make the team.

Who knows?
