ST. LOUIS (AP) — The St. Louis Rams have drafted cornerback Janoris Jenkins, who finished his college career at North Alabama after getting dismissed from Florida.

The 5-9, 190-pound Jenkins was a three-year starter at Florida who transferred after multiple run-ins with the law related to marijuana. Some mock drafts had Jenkins possibly going in the first round, but he dropped to the second day due to character issues.

The Rams got Jenkins on Friday night with the second of their three picks in the second round.

The Rams addressed their greatest area of need with the first pick of Day 2, taking wide receiver Brian Quick of Appalachian State.
