It’s no secret that the Rams wanted Bobby Wagner in the 2012 draft. Les Snead has said it, Jeff Fisher was a big fan of Wagner that year and unfortunately for the Rams, the Seahawks took him at No. 47 overall in the second round.
The Rams had a shot to draft him if they didn’t trade back from the 45th pick, moving down five spots in an attempt to add more picks. But they missed out on Wagner, despite being interested in him.
Wagner even thought he’d get drafted by the Rams, who at the time were in St. Louis. He shared the story on the Pat McAfee Show Wednesday, saying he got a call from the Rams’ linebackers coach (Blake Williams) saying they were going to pick him.
