List of St. Louis Rams first-round draft picks

Nominating this list for FLC. I think this list does meet featured list criteria. If you guys have any questions or comments, I would try to answer them. --Gman124^talk 16:44, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

~~Oppose~~ It's a little premature nomination.
- Your notes should be in complete sentences and cited.

- There are too many "general" references, leave those that are sources for the list only.
  - Done --Gman124^talk 20:52, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    - There are still too many references. Some of them don't have the list, so they are useless.--Crzy cheetah 21:37, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      - ~~Now there are four, first two link directly to list, for last two click on year names for yearly one.--Gman124^talk 14:10, 6 July 2008 (UTC)~~[reply]
        Done --Gman124^talk 23:56, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Where's the Key for positions? I rather see the positions written in full because there is a white space on the right side of the table.

Comment The sentence that reads The Rams first participated in the 1937 NFL Annual Player Selection Meeting, more commonly known as the NFL Draft isn't really correct. The 1937 Draft took place in December 1936 and the Rams became part of the NFL on February 1937. The Rams as a franchise did not make the '37 picks, but rather the NFL did for the future expansion team, i.e. the Rams. Also, this opening sentence doesn't go very well with the rest of the paragraph since the rest of the paragraph is talking about the NFL Draft within the modern era. I would suggest putting this sentence in the first paragraph since it talks about the history of the Rams. Other wise I think it looks good and I approve, but I should mention that I originally created this list. --Pinkkeith (talk) 15:01, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Done Fixed the sentence. --Gman124^talk 18:05, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Use en-dash, not hyphen in year ranges.

- Enshrined? Bit over the top - perhaps "admitted to.."
  - Done --Gman124^talk 17:27, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Why is Rams' in italics in Bettis' caption?
  - Done --Gman124^talk 17:27, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Some red linked players, one not linked at all - this really ought to be sorted out for a complete list.
  - comment - I thought I did go through this list at one point and took out the red link players. Some of these red linked players never went on to play professional football and I could not find information on them, so I took out a link to an article for them since they appeared to me to be not notable. I don't know why there are red linked ones now because I thought I made them all not linked. The only one I did make an article for was Tony Butkovich since it appeared he had a notable college career and was one of the handful of NFL players to be killed in WWII. --Pinkkeith (talk) 21:30, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
