Rd. # Player Pos. College 1 2 B.J. Raji DT Boston College General Manager: CLF

With the second pick of the 2009 Pride of Detroit Community Mock Draft, the St. Louis Rams select Boston College defensive tackle B.J. Raji.

Here is CLF's reasoning for the pick:

Replace Orlando Pace?....Torry Holt?....That was the old Rams, the new direction of St Louis is Defense... and Spags just added to the weapons already in place for his Jim Johnson, high pressure, type of Defense to succeed.  This 6'2", 337lb man beast will dominate offensive lines for years to come and help Rams fans turn the page on the 'greatest show on turf'.  A new era of dominating defense will be the future of the St Louis Rams with the help of 2nd overall pick, BJ Raji.
