The Rams signed Keith Jackson to a three-year contract on Monday, so
both 7th-rounders are aboard now. stlouisrams.com
Five draft picks remain to be signed: Carriker (1), Leonard (2), Fry(4),
Ryan (5), Shackleford(6).
Jackson and Ryan, along with one of last year's preseason favorites, Tim
Sandidge, are expected to compete for a backup spot behind Adam Carriker
at what's popularly being called the nose tackle position.
Jackson's got a great shot at making the team, certainly a better shot than
many 7th-rounders ever have. The Rams are weak at the position and he's
competing with essentially two other rookies. And right now I don't know how
much the team should count on Claude Wroten's ability to stay out of trouble.
If Jackson shows the heart and hustle he seemed to be known for as a
Razorback, he'll hit the practice squad at worst and has a legitimate shot
to make the regular roster.
