NEW YORK (AP) -A newsworthy trade involving running back LenDale White grabbed the spotlight as the final four rounds of the NFL draft began Saturday.
Cincinnati wide receiver Mardy Gilyard was chosen by St. Louis to begin the fourth round as the Rams further bolstered their anemic offense.
Moments later, new Seahawks coach Pete Carroll dealt for one of his mainstays at Southern California, getting White from the Tennessee Titans for Seattle’s fourth-rounder and sixth-rounder. The Seahawks also got defensive tackle Kevin Vickerson, and the Titans selected UCLA cornerback Alterraun Verner with the spot acquired in the deal.
The burly and bruising White helped Carroll win a national championship with the Trojans. But he lost his starting job to Chris Johnson in 2009.
St. Louis made quarterback Sam Bradford the first overall selection Thursday night and began the second round Friday by choosing offensive lineman Rodger Saffold from Indiana.
profile players still available. He should help the Rams on kick returns, too.
Among the notable players still waiting to be drafted were Mississippi quarterback Jevan Snead and USC running back Joe McKnight.
