Rams select Sean Mannion in third round

The Rams selected Oregon State quarterback Sean Mannion with the 89th overall pick in the third round of the 2015 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact:
Mannion is impressive when he has the time to operate. He is tall and smart but not likely to carry an NFL offense on his own. Brice Petty and Nick Hundley both probably have more upside, but Mannion fits with the power running attack the Rams are building and has more experience with a pro-style offense. The Rams have stocked up on offensive lineman in this draft, so his protection shoud be improved compared with what Sam Bradford, Austin Davis, and Shaun Hill had to work with in 2014. It wouldn't be surprising to see Mannion overtake Case Keenum as the Rams' primary backup to Nick Foles.
