ST. LOUIS -- Just a few days ago, Jason Smith was wearing a suit and tie and posing with a ceremonial No. 1 Rams jersey after being taken with the second pick of the draft.
Today, the former Baylor offensive tackle will be on the field for the team's second minicamp as he gets his first taste of the pros. It'll also give new coach Steve Spagnuolo an immediate read on Smith and the rest of his first draft class, and how it fits with the rest of the roster.
New coaches get an extra minicamp to learn personnel and get acclimated. Spagnuolo rejected a rookies-only minicamp in favor of getting the entire squad involved.
