According the NFL network's Adam Schefter, the St. Louis Rams have Arkansas running back rated highest on their draft board.

Is this the truth or a smokescreen? Sounds like smoke to me.

Although pairing McFadden with Steven Jackson will make the most formidable running back combo in the league the Rams have too many other needs.

The Rams could be leaking this story in order to force teams that were hoping for McFadden to fall to trade up with them.

Coincidently, Schefter is also reporting that the Saints have talked to the Rams about trading up for defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey, not McFadden.
