Rams selected Baylor LT Jason Smith with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft.
St. Louis would've loved Mark Sanchez, but Marc Bulger's contract made that impossible. Smith, recruited as a tight end and highly athletic, was a rare All American from Baylor as a senior and the most impressive tackle at the Combine. He is a ready-made pass blocker. The Rams do still like Alex Barron on the left side though, so it's possible Smith will begin his career at right tackle, where he played as a college sophomore.
