Sup fellow mock draft readers. I would like to start off by saying this is not a mock draft. We can spent all our time predicting what the FO will do in the upcoming draft but we will never get it right. Frankly we don;t know what Fisher and Co has plan. And we have no idea how other team draft strategy might alter the FO draft plan. With that being said i decided to take the time to come up with a list of players at each position. Positions on the rams team that requires attention. I will try to predict where each prospect can be selected.
I am not going to spent a whole of times talking about each prospect. I do not have the time for that. my apologies.
With that in mind, here we go.
Offensive Line.
G, RT
RT position can be solved by signing Jake Long and moving Rodger Saffold over to RT.Saffold would be an upgrade. I don;t think he is as dominant in the running game as it requires for that position.
Prospect to fill the RT position.
Manelik Watkins.
Projected Round: 2
I am predicting he goes in the second round. Although i would not be happy if the rams select him on day 2. I would be extremely happy if he was selected in the third or fourth round.
DJ Fluker
Porjected round: 2
He might be selected in round 1 giving the fact that there are not many elite prospect for the offensively line in the draft after Luke Joeckel and Eric Fisher.
Fluker is a road blocker. has the strength to move bodies to open running lanes. He is a bit slow with his footwork working against speed rushers on the edge. Would hate if the rams drafted him in the first round.
Dallas Thomas OG/T
Projected Round: 2 - 3
Don;t have a whole lot on this guy.
Guard Prsopects
Chance Warmack
Projected Round: 1
Jonathan Cooper:
Projected Round: 1
Would be happy if these 2 prospects were selected on day 1.
Larry Warford
Projected Round: 2
Kyle Long
Projected Round: 2-3
Moving on to the WR position.
Personally, with the signings of Jared Cook i do not think Fisher and Co will spent a pick on the TE position.
Here we go
Tavon Austin
Projected Round: 1
Cordarrelle Patterson
Projected Round: 1
Deandre Hopkins
Projected Round: late first - early second
Robert Woods
Projected Round: early second - mid second
Justin Hunter
Projected Round: early second - mid second
Ryan Swope
Projected Round: mid second
Personally would be happy if he was selected by the rams in the third or fourth round. Unfortunately i believe his performance at the combine could cause him to be selected in the second round.
Ace Sanders
Projected Round: 4
Connor Vernon and Marquise Wilson
Projected Round: 5
I am not going to take time on the running back position. I believe Fisher and Co are happy with the current guys on the roster.
Defense
Area of Need
LB and Safety
LB Prospect that i would love to see in a rams uniform
Alec Oglegree
Projected Round: 1
Ogletree is my favorite LB prospect
Jarvis Jones
Projected Round: 1
Dion Jordan
Projected Round: 1
Zaviar Gooden
Projected Round: 2 - 3
Would be fine if the rams pick him up in the second. But i would be estatic if he fell to the rams in the third round
Khaseem Greene
Projected Round: 3
I am stopping here. Personally i do not think this position is deep with a ton of talented prospect.
Safety Prospect that i would love to see in the rams uniform next season
Eric Reid LSU
Projected Round: late first - mid second
would be happy if he was selected in the second round
Jonathan Cyprien FIA
Projected Round: 2
Personally, i hate the fact that many are projected him in the first round. would be happy if he fell to the rams in round 3. but be fine if drafted round 2
Baccari Rambo UGA
Projected Round: 3 - 4
DJ Swearinger NC
Projected Round: 3
Phillip Thomas Syracuse
Projected Round: 2 - 4
Tony Jefferson OU
Projected Round: 4
Shawn Williams UGA
Projected Round: 4 - 5
Recap
As i stated in the beginning, this is not a mock draft. these are just a list of players that i like personally whom i believe can help improve the Rams
