The picture at wide receiver

appears to be no picture.

Besides the big signings yesterday - Vincent Jackson, Pierre Garcon and Marques Colston - Robert Meacham has signed with the Chargers and Reggie Wayne with the Colts. The Rams can't even lure Les Snead's familiar receiver Harry Douglas to town. I believe he stayed with the Falcons.

Furthermore, Jim Thomas this morning reports the Rams are "lukewarm" about re-signing Brandon Lloyd. Since he said just "lukewarm", and not "lukewarm because he wants unreasonable money for a 31-year-old", that's a rather idiotic stance on the Rams' part. I never thought Lloyd would stay here anyway with New England as a very viable option, but it's stupid of the Rams to say "eh, we don't want the guy" when he performed like a top-15 receiver for a dreadful offense last year.

Furthermore, you're not going to get Justin Blackmon in the draft at #6 - who the hell is Sam Bradford supposed to throw to if he doesn't have Blackmon OR Lloyd? You're seriously going to go into 2012 with Danario Alexander or Greg Salas as your #1 receiver?

The Jeff Fisher Friends and Family Plan is going to be activated yet again - former Titan lineman Jason Jones is reportedly on the verge of signing with the Rams. The JF3P is great and all - Jones and Courtland Finnegan are nice players - but it isn't going to do a hell of a lot for the Rams at wide receiver.

What's Fisher's plan, bring back Kevin Dyson? The team's current plan certainly sucks.
