LA Rams Up
Here is a list of the Rams draft picks as well as the undrafted guys they have signed:
Round 2, Pick 36
Steve Avila, G, TCU
Expect him to be the starter at left guard on opening day
Round 3, Pick 77
Byron Young, EDGE, Tennessee
Explosive player. May take some time to adjust to the speed of the NFL game
Round 3, Pick 89
Kobie Turner, DT, Wake Forest
Measurables are similar to Aaron Donald. Will he be a rotational guy or is he just for depth in year one
Round 4, Pick 128
Stetson Bennett, QB, Georgia
An immediate upgrade as Stafford's backup. Has played in - and won - lots of big time games.
Round 5, Pick 161
Nick Hampton, EDGE, Appalachian State
The second edge rusher in this draft for the Rams. A bit undersized, but very versatile
Round 5, Pick 174
Warren McClendon, OT, Georgia
Stabilizing force on national championship team. Likely limited to right tackle but could also play some guard.
Round 5, Pick 175
Davis Allen, TE, Clemson
A human vacuum cleaner on 50-50 balls. Permanent team captain at Clemson.
Round 5, Pick 177
Puka Nacua, WR, BYU
In many ways, similar to Cooper Kupp. Ran the jet sweep to perfection at BYU.
Round 6, Pick 182
Tre'Vius Hodges-Tomlinson, CB, TCU
Undersized? Yes. Explosive? Yes.
Round 6, Pick 189
Ochuan Mathis, EDGE, Nebraska
The Rams 3rd edge rusher. Needs to add strength to hold up against the run.
Round 7, Pick 215
Zach Evans, RB, Ole Miss
He’ll remind you of Cam Akers
Round 7, Pick 223
Ethan Evans, P, Wingate
Don’t worry about him being a Division II punter. He has a powerful leg and can kick off too.
Round 7, Pick 234
Jason Taylor II, S, Oklahoma State
Better against the pass than against the run.
Round 7, Pick 259
Desjuan Johnson, EDGE, Toledo
Mr. Irrelevant hopes to make a dent in this roster
