I'd get Blackmon, grab some o-line guy next, sign some vets on the line and and stock up with some guys with high motors or potential. Having watched a ton of Ram's games there is no doubt the o-line is terrible, but when they did pass protect no one was open. O-line and a bonafide #1 wr would help Bradford a lot.

Yep. OL is biggest concern and I don't see how them whiffing on picks previously is a reason for them to punt on OL. Not sure if they can retain Lloyd since he considers himself tied to McDaniels but he's a legit #1 receiver. Amendola and Salas both looked to be very good slot options as well. Ideally St. Louis is able to trade down to someone wanting RGIII and target a couple of holes. They're desperate for CB as well.
Re: Let's talk about what the St. Louis Rams should do
It has to be Blackmon, Kalil wouldn't be a very smart decision because I think Saffold is a really nice LT for them, and they already invested a huge pick in Jason Smith their RT. Plus they have Dahl and Jason Brown on the line as well....I think they have many more pressing needs than addressing their offensive line.

Rodger Saffold was absolutely terrible this year, he was one of the main reasons for the O-line being so bad.
Re: Let's talk about what the St. Louis Rams should do
He had a down year but he has all the tools to be a really good left tackle, as evidence of his rookie year. He was very good. 9 or 10 games this year doesn't change his physical tools and rookie year. It would be premature to kick him to the side.

Its not smart taking Blackmon #2, trade back and take him. You can get extra picks as a result.
down to Rams or Dolphins for Fisher...he is supposed to decide by next week
He should go to Miami. Much better situation. Stl Rams need too much stuff.
I guess money and how much power he is given will determine this. Didnt read article so maybe he isnt being offered one of those Andy Reid, Mike Holgrem deals.

Supposedly he views the Rams as a good situation to be in because the NFC West is still somewhat wide open
Re: Let's talk about what the St. Louis Rams should do
I think you're completely wrong, GoBB.
Stl, to me, is much more attractive because the division does not have a dominant, consistent force - SF is in their first year of dominance, unlike the Patriots who have basically had that division on lockdown for 10 years.
I think Bradford is a much better building block than anything Miami has as well. Plus they have the second overall pick in the draft which will yield a big-time player. They have lots of cap space to fill out the team.
The only thing more attractive about Miami would be perhaps money and weather.
