Rams begin final day of draft with WR Givens Apr 28th 2012, 16:53 NEW YORK –  Wide receivers and more trades were trendy Saturday in the fourth round of the NFL draft. Chris Givens, the first player selected from Wake Forest this year, was taken by St. Louis to open the round. Givens also can help the Rams in the return game. He had some injury issues in college, but had 1,330 yards on 83 receptions in 2011. Cleveland, desperate for offensive playmakers, might have added one in Miami Hurricanes receiver Travis Benjamin, and Carolina went for Arkansas wideout Joe Adams, all in the first nine selections Saturday. Another Hurricane was coveted by the Dolphins. Miami then jumped up six slots in a deal with San Francisco to get running back Lamar Miller, one of the faster players at his position and also a kick return prospect. Miller had two years of eligibility remaining in college, but entered the draft. San Francisco received Miami's pick in the fourth round and two sixth-rounders, one this year and one in 2013. After 18 deals on the first two days of the draft, there were three in the first few minutes Saturday. Michigan State quarterback Kirk Cousins, projected by many to go late in the first round or early in the second, lasted until No. 102, when the Redskins took him. Of course, Washington selected Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III second overall to be its franchise quarterback. Linebacker Nigel Bradham became the first Florida State player chosen, going 105 overall to Buffalo. College powers Texas and Florida had yet to see one of its players selected.
