2nd-round mocks

Bucky Brooks at NFL.com has the Rams opening tonight with Cordy Glenn at 33, followed by Stephen Hill at 39 and Lamar Miller at 45. Rueben Randle fell between 33 and 39.

FWIW, in that scenario, RamView would open tonight with Randle (the Rams HAVE to take a WR at 33 after bypassing the position last night), Miller and Mychal Kendricks. Randle and Hill are about the only WRs left who entice me as high second-round values, and I see Randle as a much more complete receiver.

The Scouts Inc. mock 2nd round on ESPN.com has the Rams taking Randle, then Lavonte David, then Trumaine Johnson. My problem with that is the worst offense in the NFL in years using three of its first four picks on defensive players. I think I'm stretching it only taking two offensive players in the round.

That scenario could just as easily go Randle, Alshon Jeffery or almost any guard, and Lamar Miller.

The Rams need to pick up at least three offensive players, TONIGHT.

Update: Mel Kiper also likes Glenn for the Rams at 33. Has Janoris Jenkins at 39 and Lavonte David at 45. No, no, no, no, no, Mel. I don't need three defensive players in four picks, especially when one has the terrible off-field of Jenkins. Just call him Pac-Man Junior right now.
