Rams to work out Jameis Winston, Marcus Mariota, host other QBs image

The Rams traded Sam Bradford for Nick Foles this offseason, and are not expected to select a quarterback in the first round of the NFL Draft.

That doesn't mean they're not going to do their due diligence.

St. Louis will reportedly send a contingent to Florida State to work out quarterback Jameis Winston and then to Oregon to put Marcus Mariota through a workout, according to NFL Network. Winston is expected to be the top pick in the draft and Mariota is expected to be the second quarterback selected. 

The Rams will also host Baylor quarterback Bryce Petty, considered by many to be the No. 3 quarterback in this year's draft class. 

While they aren't likely to draft a signal caller early, the Rams have "varying degrees of interest" in Colorado State's Garrett Grayson, UCLA's Brett Hundley and Oregon State's Sean Mannion, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch

The team worked out former Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel last year, but passed on him in the draft. While it's unlikely the Rams would select either Winston or Mariota, coach Jeff Fisher said last month that the team intends to draft a quarterback.
