51. <p>Nick Foles didn’t show the Rams and head coach Jeff Fisher he could be the man to lead them to L.A.  This leaves the newly re-integrated Los Angeles Rams searching for their franchise leader, and what better place to do so than in the first round of the NFL draft.</p> <p>After Goff, Carson Wentz from Division-II North Dakota State is the clear-cut number two.  The two-year starter led the Bison to two straight FCS National Championships, and had a great week at the Senior Bowl.</p> <p>In addition to a strong arm and big frame, Wentz brings an athleticism which allows him to escape the pocket when needed.  He can be the guy to lead the Rams in L.A. and for a long time.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Previously:  Paxton Lynch – QB – Memphis</strong></p>. QB. North Dakota State. Carson Wentz. 15. player
