As another season comes to an agonizingly slow close for the St. Steven Jackson is a special player with amazing talent, but he needs help, and, more importantly, incentive to stay.The Rams have looked better along the offensive line this year, only allowing 28 sacks, but more importantly helping get Jackson to over 1200 yards through 12 games.Conversely, the defense has not played well against the run and they will need to address the situation in the off season.There are some nice names that could be plugged into the defensive line and make an impact,more so than there is at the top of the draft.That, and I really don't think the Rams are in a position where drafting another interior lineman will put them over the top.So where do they go with their first pickI would love to see them take a quarterback, and this is a relatively strong draft at the position.Jimmy Clausen is the most NFL-ready QB, and would be a welcomed addition to the Rams' team.Jake Locker is the most intriguing of the prospects, as he possesses the most overall talent. But he has not shown enough, at least to me, to warrant a top-three selection.Sam Bradford has been on many teams' radar for a long time, but there are still questions about his shoulder.If the Rams are not completely infatuated with Clausen or Locker, they could look to trade the pick to a team that is and draft Bradford in the 6-10 range.If a QB is not the pick, which I really think it should be, they would have a couple of incredible talents to choose from.Tennessee defensive back Eric Berry is the best prospect in the draft.

He will be a game changer from the time he comes into the league. Ndamukong Suh has been the most dominant college defensive player this year, and would fit in nicely on the Rams' defensive front seven.Beyond those five players, I do not think there is anyone that would address any immediate needs for the Rams.But that is just the first round of the NFL draft. Where could they find help in free agency and round two of the draftA couple of names really stand out:Johnny Jolly and Ryan Pickett. Both have been outstanding this season, and would thrive in a Steve Spagnuolo coached team.One or the other would look great in a Rams uniform next year, and would immediately address the inability to stop the running game.Can they get someone like Jolly or Pickett to come to St. MILAN, Jan 7 (Reuters) - Italian bank UBI Banca (UBI.MI)said in a statement on Wednesday: In relation to press agencies reports, rumours of apossible merger with Banco Popolare (BAPO.MI) are "withoutfoundation" (Reporting by Stephen Jewkes). MOSCOW, Jan 7 (Reuters) - Russian gas export monopolyGazprom (GAZP.MM) has not yet declared force majeure on its gassupplies to Europe and hopes to fix its dispute with Ukrainebefore it has to declare it, a top executive said on Wednesday Stocks Russia "In terms of force majeure... We still hope that thissituation will be fixed rather quickly and it will not benecessary to make a reference to the force majeure clause,"Gazprom's deputy chief executive Alexander Medvedev told aconference call.
