Rams Sign First Round Pick Robert Quinn

The St. Louis Rams have signed their first round draft pick DE Robert Quinn. Quinn is the last of the eight 2011 NFL Draft picks the Rams had to sign. The Rams will now have a packed house with 24 street free agents, several free agents and all drafted rookies all coming to training camp. I think it was very important for the Rams to get Quinn into camp as soon as possible. Although Quinn is a first round pick he will need to pick up everything quickly to start competing with James Hall and George Selvie for the starting LRE job. Robert Quinn will continue to wear his college #94 with the Rams, and he is expected to be on the practice field today. Quinn who missed the 2010 NCAA season after he was ruled ineligible by the NCAA for lying to investigators about receiving travel accommodations and jewelry needs to prove he is worthy of the #14 overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft.

Rams Select Robert Quinn - DE - North Carolina

The St. Louis Rams selected Robert Quinn 6'4" 265 lb defensive end from North Carolina with their first round selection, and 14th overall in the 2011 NFL Draft. With wide receivers A.J. Green and Julio Jones going to the Cincinnati Bengals and the Atlanta Falcons respectively the Rams choose to select a defensive player. Robert Quinn was considered a top 10 talent by many however he did not play at all in 2010 after being ruled permanently ineligible for accepting $5,642 worth of extra benefits from agents in violation of NCAA rules. Quinn had 25.5 tackles for loss while playing only 25 games at North Carolina. Quinn has a huge upside and could be a steal at #14 overall for the St. Louis Rams who will line him up opposite of Chris Long who developed well playing LDE last year. If the Rams are still looking for a WR with the 47th pick overall in the 2011 NFL Draft they make look at Titus Young from Boise State or Leonard Hankerson from Miami Hurricanes.
