With the second pick of the 2014 NFL Draft, the St. Louis Rams select.....

 

.....Jake Matthews, Offensive Tackle, Texas A&M.

 

 

Jake Matthews won out in a close race between himself, Greg Robinson, and Sammy Watkins. Robinson may have a bit more long term upside, but no other tackle can provide the consistent high level of play as well as versatility that Matthews has had over his years at TAMU. WR is probably the deepest position, so the Rams can pass on Watkins and grab one later in the draft. St. Louis is moving forward as Bradford as their quarterback and getting the most pro-ready tackle in the draft is the best way to give him a fighting chance.

 

The Jacksonville Jaguars are now on the clock.
