* In the 2014 draft, the Rams are currently scheduled to select 2nd and 13th in the first round. Pick #13 is their own pick, #2 is the pick they stole from the Redskins in the RGIII trade. Everyone in the major media who said the Rams made a bad deal there, care to have a word? And of course, with Les Snead around, always best to say the Rams are "scheduled" to pick somewhere vs. saying they will pick there.
* Both the Manning brothers will visit St. Louis in 2014 as part of what should be a damn good slate of home games. The Rams' scheduled opponents for 2014:
Home: Arizona, San Francisco, Seattle, Dallas, Denver, Minnesota, N.Y. Giants, Oakland
Away: Arizona, San Francisco, Seattle, Philadelphia, Kansas City, San Diego, Tampa Bay, Washington
There's daunting aspects to this schedule. The NFC West is the NFL's Group of Death. The Rams haven't beaten the Giants since 2001 or the Chiefs since 1994. Eight games are against playoff teams, three others against teams that missed the playoffs by a game. It's still a friendlier schedule than last year's, though depending on what ways the scheduling people try to screw the Rams over.
When last April's schedule came out I commented that Rams fans should be damn impressed if Jeff Fisher could get an 8-8 season out of it. The Rams nearly got there, without Sam Bradford. They should be able to do some business in 2014.
