Does it seem like the Rams keep swinging and missing on their draft picks? It seems that your belief was recently confirmed in a report.

According to data collected by the Washington Post, the Rams have drafted worse than every team in the NFL except for the Cleveland Browns and the Detroit Lions.

Which NFL teams make the smartest draft picks? We took a look at every class since 1996. https://t.co/UyGaQM8QkR pic.twitter.com/aBcyUALzts — Reuben Fischer-Baum (@ReubenFB) April 24, 2017

The data looked at the “Approximate Value (AV) accumulated by a team’s drafted players in their first five seasons minus the expected value of their picks” over the last twenty seasons.

This research suggested that the Rams players have performed 12 percent worse than expectations.

Likewise, the study showed that one of the worst drafts since 1996 was what the Rams produced in 2006.

In the first round, they drafted cornerback Tye Hill. However, much better cornerbacks including Antonio Cromartie, Jonathan Joseph and Devin Hester were all still available with pick No. 15 overall.

Then in the second round, they drafted tight end Joe Klopfenstein. He scored just two touchdowns during his NFL career. Owen Daniels (36 career TD’s) and Anthony Fasano (35 TD’s) were both available later in the round.

Next, they selected Claude Wroten (who played just two NFL seasons), Jon Alston (three total games for the Rams) and for some reason, another tight end in the first round. Delanie Walker, who has 31 career TD’s, was still available.

Yet defensive star Elvis Dumervil and wide receiver Brandon Marshall were both available in the next round. Those two players alone have combined for eleven appearances in the Pro Bowl during their professional careers.

Hopefully, the Rams can turn it around this weekend with a new head coach leading the charge into the new season.
