With the 44th pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, the St. Louis Rams select.....

 

.....Davante Adams, Wide Receiver, Fresno State.

 

Allen Robinson was the pick here, unfortunately he was chosen by the Giants one pick prior. Davante Adams and Brandin Cooks are the top two remaining wide receivers, however, Cooks similarities to Austin along with Adams physical traits help tilt it in his favor. Davante Adams may have had huge numbers in a spread offense, but he has the natural gifts to be a solid starting NFL wide receiver. He possesses great hands and is able to win jump balls more often than not. Adams may not be a burner, but his speed is quick enough to create some separation on deeper balls. The Rams get a good, young WR to pair with Tavon Austin and a player who will help Sam Bradford develop into the QB St. Louis envisioned.
