The St. Louis Rams were in desperate need for a play-making wide receiver when they dealt for wide receiver Brandon Lloyd.
The Rams brought Lloyd over from the Denver Broncos to provide second year quarterback Sam Bradford with a versatile outside weapon and to deepen a receiving corp that has never recovered from the injury of Danny Amendola.
And even though Bradford was not there for Lloyd's debut in the Rams 34-7 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, Lloyd still had a nice day receiving passes from back-up quarterback Jay Feeley.
Lloyd hauled in six receptions for 74 yards, good for a 12.3 yard per reception average.
Lloyd did manage to break one catch for a 34 yard gain, but did not showcase the the spectacular down field talent that he was known for while with the Broncos.
But with just three days of practice under his belt and without Bradford under center, Lloyd had a very solid debut wearing the Rams uniform.
As Bradford returns to health and Lloyd gets more familiar with the Rams offense and his new teammates, it looks as though he will provide the Rams with exactly what they need.
Look for Lloyd to have a big second half of 2011 as he adjusts to his new environment in St. Louis.
