With the trade up of both sixth round picks to select RB Zac Stacy in the fifth round, the 2013 NFL draft has concluded for the Rams. The Rams had 52 players on their roster before the draft began. The selection of 7 players in the draft now brings that total to 59. The chart below is the updated version of the Rams roster and depth chart, which includes all roster transactions up to and including the draft.

Shortly after the draft has concluded, the UDFA process will be in full swing. Hopefully, the Rams can find a few gems from this very deep draft class that can compete for a roster position. I will update the roster as soon as the Rams UDFA signings are announced.

These are the UDFA signings as of 10 am May 4.

There are 3 UDFA signings that I have been particularly impressed with. They are Ray Ray Armstrong, Cody Davis and Jonathan Stewart. I believe each will have a decent chance of making the Rams roster.

Please share your thoughts regarding the roster and depth chart as it now stands. Is there anything more the Rams need to do in the off season to improve certain units of the team? Should the Rams sign any more free agents? Which players (if any) should be cut because of the results of the draft?
