WINNING PICK: The Rams can only hope this year’s draft is half as good as 1962, when their first two selections were quarterback Roman Gabriel, above, and defensive tackle Merlin Olsen. . . . Gabriel holds team records for career passing yards (22,223) and touchdown passes (154) and Olsen made the Pro Bowl for 14 consecutive years, the first as a rookie. “These days, if you came away with two fabulous players like that, you’d be in hog heaven,” says Jack Faulkner, Rams’ director of football operations.
