With the 47th overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the St. Louis Rams select Wisconsin TE Lance Kendricks. A natural pass-catching tight end who is best in motion, Kendricks quickly releases into pass routes, comes back to the ball, and offers the quarterback a big target. Displays good eye/hand coordination, makes the reception away from his frame, and displays soft, strong hands. Nicely makes the catch in stride, adjusting backwards to grab the errant throw. Kendricks is one of the better pass-catching tight ends in the nation, but he has size and athletic limitations. He could be a productive second tight end in a system that consistently puts him in motion or occasionally lines him up in the slot and reduces his blocking assignments. Source: Sports Illustrated
Waste of a pick. Paea and Harris would have been much better picks and that's ignoring the wideouts. Ergh.
