Rams signed third-round WR Stedman Bailey to a four-year contract.
Bailey (5-foot-10 1/4, 193) caught 186 passes for 2,901 yards and 37 touchdowns over his final two seasons at West Virginia as Geno Smith's go-to receiver. He plays bigger than his measurables indicate, but slow-ish forty times of 4.50 and 4.57 at the Combine likely kept him on the board until No. 92 overall. Jun 13 - 4:38 PM

Stedman Bailey - WR - Rams

The Rams envision third-round WR Stedman Bailey as their replacement for Brandon Gibson.

Gibson had been a starter in recent years, but the Rams never viewed him as more than a No. 3 or No. 4 wideout. Bailey will compete for fourth receiver duties as a rookie, behind Brian Quick, Tavon Austin, and Chris Givens. He can also returns kicks and punts. Bailey is unlikely to be a fantasy factor in 2013.

Stedman Bailey - WR - Rams

Rams selected West Virginia WR Stedman Bailey with the No. 92 overall pick.

Bailey (5-foot-10 1/4, 193) outproduced more ballyhooed teammate Tavon Austin in the West Virginia passing game, tallying 186 receptions for 2,901 yards (15.6 YPR) and 37 touchdowns over his final two seasons. 72 of Bailey's 148 targets went for a first down or touchdown in 2012, the highest rate among draft-eligible receivers. Bailey atones for his smallish stature and mediocre speed (4.52 forty) with technically sound routes and red-zone instincts. He was Geno Smith's go-to receiver in scoring position. The two Mountaineer receivers complement each other well. The Rams' receiving group is one of the youngest in the league.

TFY Draft Insider's Tony Pauline reports West Virginia WR Stedman Bailey is drawing interest from the Panthers, Bucs and Eagles.

Per Pauline, the Rams and Texans had also been eyeing Bailey before using their first-round picks on receivers. Bailey generated little media buzz in April, but has excellent tape to fall back on. Bailey's size (5-10, 193) and an underwhelming Combine are what's holding him back. He should come off the board before day two is through.

Stedman Bailey - WR - Rams

According to STATS ICE, West Virginia's Stedman Bailey made more "clutch receptions" in 2012 than any top draft-eligible receiver on a minimum of 100 targets.

"Clutch receptions" are defined as catches that went for a first down or touchdown. Scheme, quarterback play, and competition can affect stats like this, but it's still interesting that Bailey dominated the field with 72 "clutch" catches amongst 148 targets (48.6 percent). Next closest was Oregon State's Markus Wheaton, with 64 "clutch" catches on 141 passes his way (45.4 percent).

Stedman Bailey - WR - Rams

West Virginia WR Stedman Bailey ran forty times of 4.50 and 4.57 at the NFL Scouting Combine.

Bailey's measurables aren't nearly as impressive as his college game tape, which makes him an obvious candidate to be available later than his football-playing ability might deserve. He could be a steal in the draft's third round.

Stedman Bailey - WR - Rams

NFL Draft insider Tony Pauline reports that West Virginia WR Stedman Bailey is drawing some Steve Smith comparisons in pre-Combine training and could end up being drafted in the second round.

Bailey is listed at just 5-foot-10, 195 pounds, but plays big for his size and has tremendous run-after-catch ability. Per Pauline, Bailey could be "the surprise receiver" at the Combine and is "running very fast" in workouts.
