St. Louis Rams select Isaiah Pead, Grade D

The St. Louis Rams needed to add a running back to share the load with Steven Jackson, but Isaiah Pead was not the guy to target.

Pead was given a 2nd round grade by some, but I don’t think he has the skills to carry the load at the next level. He’s be a decent backup in St. Louis, but they should  have targeted someone with the potential to take over for Jackson in a year or two. Lamar Miller or Robert Turbin would have been better options.
