On the NFL Network, Charles Davis addressed this last night. He said that now that Sam has been drafted, people need to get out of the way and allow the Rams to evaluate him as a football player and make decisions on that basis. He said that he believes it will be very difficult for the Rams to do this because any decision they make regarding Michael Sam will be seen from various angles and may not considered to be a pure football decision.
Of course, he’s right, but my first thought hearing him say it was that I wonder if he gives the same consideration to conservatives who criticize President Obama.
There were still plenty of better players than Sam on the board when he was picked, so you can’t tell me picking him was a “pure football decision.”
Certainly defensive line is not a need the Rams have.
