Despite a Set of Monster RBs, LosAngelesRams Choked in this Draft - C+
Draft Summary
"With the fourth pick in the draft, LosAngelesRams selects: Tim Tebow." OK maybe it wasn't that bad, but it might as well have been. Despite being gifted a favorable draft position (fourth), LosAngelesRams is expected to struggle, finishing ninth in ROD - The Butcher Shop League with a record of 5-8-0 (1,471 points). They got aggressive about drafting running backs early, snagging Eddie Lacy (4th overall), Zac Stacy (21st), and Reggie Bush (28th). They have the worst QB combo in the league, as they added Andrew Luck and Sam Bradford to their squad.
Schedule
LosAngelesRams should use Week 10 to consider life's great mysteries, like why Greenland is ice and Iceland is green? It would be better than checking fantasy football that week. They have four players and the most projected fantasy points on bye that week. Taking a look at the entire season from start to finish, they have a tougher-than-average slate. Along with the fifth-most grueling overall schedule, both the first four games and last four games of the season are about league-average difficulty for LosAngelesRams.
Draft Notes
- The First Step is Admitting You Have a Problem
It seems like LosAngelesRams likes to gamble -- they rolled the dice on six "high-risk" picks.

LosAngelesRams isn't afraid to rob the cradle, drafting the youngest team in the league with an average of just 2.9 years of NFL experience.
- Team of Champions
LosAngelesRams is rocking a team of fantasy MVPs. Last season, three of their players were among the top-20 players that were on the most first-place fantasy teams (Eddie Lacy, Zac Stacy, and Reggie Bush).
- Digging Deep
Sam Bradford is owned in only 2% of all Yahoo! leagues, but will surely reward LosAngelesRams for their faith! Or not.
