December 3, 2008 Chris Draft has returned to the Rams and he is getting a lot of work with the team at middle linebacker in practice, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Our View:St. Louis' regular middle 'backer, Will Witherspoon, is dealing with injuries and did not start against the Dolphins last week. Rookie David Vobora stepped in and performed admirably, but would likely cede to Draft this week.
December 2, 2008 Chris Draft will return to practice this week and may be ready to play Sunday at Arizona following his recovery from a broken bone in his foot, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Our View:He would return to his post at strong-side linebacker, but is not a solid pro and holds no value for IDP leagues.
November 15, 2008 Chris Draft will miss another game due to his foot injury, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Our View:Quinton Culberson will likely make another start at strongside linebacker, which will benefit the 49ers' passing attack as the young linebacker is a liability in coverage.
November 10, 2008 Linebacker Chris Draft (foot) will likely miss miss two more weeks, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Our View:The Rams defense is not very good with him, but figures to be even worse without him.
November 3, 2008 The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that linebacker Chris Draft has a fractured right foot, meaning that Quinton Culberson will return to the lineup.
Our View:Draft could be done for the season. He had 24 tackles (21 solo) in 2008. Neither he nor Culberson holds any IDP value.
