I had an interesting idea to see what the Rams roster would look like if every player drafted in the last five drafts (since 2005 / Alex Barron draft) was replaced with the next player picked at their position. Of course it's a ridiculous scenario, and there is almost no way it would have played out this way, but I still thought it would be good to find out.
So first I have the Rams roster from roughly the start of last season, and then how that would've compared to the 'Bizarro World' last five drafts and the resulting roster. (For those who don't know, Bizarro World is kind of like an alternate universe from DC comics, but personally I picked up the word from Seinfeld).
