Now before i begin, just letting everyone know that even if the Rams were 8-0 i'd still be making this mock and scouting prospects, its something i really have come to enjoy over the past 3 years. I am not going to mock players we release or let walk, as i feel most of us agree on what players could be potentially gone next season, and also because i spend way to much time on that if i get into it.
Will Schotty be back? This has been a hot topic for us Rams fans, but im not going to get into that here. I do not think Fisher will get rid of Schotty, and that the only way he leaves is if he gets a HC position. There are way to many possibilities for a replacement if that happens to even begin going through them all. So i will just wait till offseason to see what happens. Same goes for Walton.
So lets begin this magic show of awesomeness!!!!!!(kinda long btw)
Trades!!!!!!!! yes...trades!!!!!!
Simple trades since mocking trades are not easy.
Trade #1 - We trade back our first pick a few slots to the Browns for their 1st and a 3rd.
Trade #2 - We trade back our second round pick to the Jets for their 2nd and a 5th.
Simple enough? Still with me? good!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2011 - 12 solo tackles, 45 total tackles, 4.5 tackle for loss, .5 sacks, 1 pass defended,
2012 - 20 solo tackles, 50 total tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss, 2 sacks, 5 passes defended, 1 FF
2013 - 9 solo tackles, 22 total tackles, 2 tackles for loss, 2 passes defended

Nix is an elite run-stuffer who has the quickness, strength and athleticism to also be a disruptive force and is the best defensive tackle prospect in the 2014 NFL draft. He has extremely rare burst off of the ball and is very strong. You will not see him slow down on a play regardless if the play appears to be dead which is very important. Nix is also very versatile despite being a hefty 357 lbs. He can play, and be very productive in either a 3-4 or 4-3. He is not strictly a nose tackle. If there is one negative you could take away from Louis Nix it would be his angles. He sometimes loses the play and is left chasing back for it. The fact that a 342 pound man is chasing after plays may tell you more good things then bad about him. Louis Nix III will be a day one starter. Expect big things from him at the next level.

Jason Verrett might not have great size or bulk, but he’s an exceptional athlete who features top-notch instincts. Verrett is so fluid with his movements that receivers have a difficult time creating separation. His impact on the game is enhanced by his excellent ball skills which helps him generate turnovers.
The thing I love the most about Verrett is how he can shut down a receiver in every aspect of the game. His explosiveness allows him to quickly close on short routes like slants, outs and comebacks. While his ball skills and long speed to help him protect the deep part of the field.
Despite his small stature, Verrett isn’t afraid to play physical. He’s aggressive versus the run and will take on bigger running backs as they approach.

Perryman is one of my favorite prospects in the entire draft. He is a ferocious hitting, tackling machine with great instincts and a non stop motor. Although has played moslty at ILB, he has the skills to play OLB as well. Tremendous against the run with great vision of breaking down the play, is also no slouche in coverage. UM has churned out many great linebackers over the years, and Perryman is next in line. If the Rams feel RayRay will eventually be Dunbars replacement, then this won't be the pick, but if they think RayRay won't ever be a true starter, then this guy is my choice hands down.

Has played RT most of his career but has been moved to LT this year and has played well. Can play RT for us and potentially be a LT down the road if he improves in some areas and gets stronger.

Pryor is another prospect i really love. His game against Rutgers was better than any i had seen from Clinton-Dix, and i watched every video i could find from both players. His game against Rutgers was the best he has played, and shows the potential he has and plays he can make. Pryor might declare or might stay in school. There was a rumor earlier in the year he was going to declare, though if he stayed for another year would have a good chance of being a first rounder next year.
Pryor is a hard hiting, ballhawking free safety who would give us a great and fierce safety tandem.

*suspended first 3 weeks of 2013
Hyed was suspended the first 3 games of the season for conduct not representative of this football program. He is a big bruiser who has speed as well. Since he has come back from the suspension has been an absolute beast. Paired with Stacy and Richardson, our once weak runningback group becomes complete. Hs been rumored that he runs a sub 4.5, and given his wieght, that is pretty dang good. Has yet to be tackled behind the line of scrimmage this season.

*tore ACL in first half of 6th game of 2013 season.(early October)
Keeton had played himself up to the 3rd round grade before he tore his ACL in early October. He is a duel threat QB but doesn't look to run first. Keeton has showing toughness, impeccable instincts and the arm talent to put the ball on a line to his targets all over the field. While he hasn't lit up elite competition, his quarterbacking traits are top of the line. A mobile gunslinger is what i see. I like the idea of having a back-up who is mobile and can pass down the field, i also think he the potential for more if it ever came down to it down the road. Is a mix of Romo, Newton and Wilson IMO.
