The St. Louis Rams have six picks in the 2015 draft. Here is the list.

The St. Louis Rams under the leadership of general manager Les Snead have made it rather obvious they believe in building their roster in the trenches first and foremost. That’s a fine strategy, but it’s come sometimes at the expense of upgrading skill positions, and left those areas painstakingly devoid of talent.

Tavon Austin was the one chance the Rams took on a skill guy, and it hasn’t worked out so well so far.

They of course then made the tough call and finally rid themselves of Sam Bradford and his banged-up knees when they shipped him to Philadelphia, where he can drink smoothies and sit in glorified saunas all he wants in Philadelphia.

That netted them Nick Foles, who may or may not be the Rams’ answer to their constant quarterback woes.

Of course the Rams also made another interesting move this offseason, seemingly doubling down on their defensive line, as if it’s the only important part of a football team, by bringing in Nick Fairley to make up potentially the greatest defensive line ever assembled.

It is a strategy not talked about nearly enough nationally. The Rams are trying something somewhat unique. Other teams go heavy on skill guys (which is generally a poor investment). The Rams figure the market inefficiency lies in clogging running lanes and potentially sacking the quarterback every time he even thinks to drop back to pass.

Whether it ultimately works, we’ll see. If Snead goes with another defensive lineman in this draft, someone may need to check him into rehab or send him to DLA (defensive linemen anonymous).

The obvious pick at No. 10 would seem to be a wide receiver, but offensive line could also use help, seemingly, even after drafting Greg Robinson a year ago with the second overall pick.

The Rams have one fewer pick than the standard seven in this draft, and have enough holes that having a solid draft is very much in order.

Here are the six picks the Rams hold in this weekend’s draft, which begins Thursday evening.
