There's no Peterson or Revis in this draft though. I'm not sold on Dennard as a NFL corner. The top talent in this draft is mostly offense, and we need a wide receiver badly. There's Calvin on the roster and that's it. The situation becomes even more dire if Pettigrew leaves. Fauria is still an unknown too. We can't have just one pass catcher.
"The Rams spent a first-round pick on a wide receiver last year in the form of Tavon Austin, but they could really use an all-around complement across from him. Watkins fits the bill perfectly."
You don't draft a "compliment" at #2. You draft a star if he's there. Watkins may be, but he's not the slam dunk Clowney is. I have a hard time believing Clowney falls out of the top 5. I don't think anyone in the NFL is fooled by his inconsistency this season.
I still think you'd have to trade up to get him. I'm sure you could do it, too, because the Rams don't need a QB or another DE that badly. But if they stay put, he's probably the guy.

I still think #10 is too high for him. I'd be ok with either Mack or Barr. If both of them and Watkins are gone and they can't trade down....I guess he's the best guy left though.
Our offensive line is in great shape after the season they just had. Warford was a steal, Waddle went from a UDFA to our right tackle, and Reiff has been what we hoped he'd be. Raiola had a career year but he needs to be replaced sooner rather than later and Sims is getting old. Overall I'm very happy about the o-line and that's amazing considering no one knew what to expect. Defensive line has the horses and the run defense is stout but they have got to get more sacks next year. Too many near misses that could have changed some of our games.

Antonio Cromartie is going to be released as well.
That's about as likely as Watkins falling to us at 10.
I want Matthews
I'm hoping The Falcons reach out to Mike Munchak to coach their line. I can't see him getting another Head Coaching gig right away
