ST. LOUIS (AP) -- The St. Louis Rams selected their second straight wide receiver in the NFL draft, taking Hawaii's Greg Salas in the fourth round.

The 6-foot-1, 210-pound Salas, chosen with the 112th overall selection on Saturday, had a very productive senior season with 119 receptions for 1,889 yards and 14 touchdowns. He topped 100 receptions each of the last two seasons and with 285 career receptions is third on the WAC career list.

Like wide receiver Austin Pettis of Boise State, taken in the third round on Friday, lack of speed may have held him back.

St. Louis took tight end Lance Kendricks of Wisconsin in the second round. The Rams opened the draft by taking North Carolina defensive end Robert Quinn with the 14th overall pick.
