The Rams drafted 11 players between Thursday and Sunday and added another 15 more via undrafted free agency (UDFA) come Monday. With the inundation of talent, what better time than now to make a prediction at the 53-man roster that is bound to be way off?

The cornerback position was the most difficult to predict and should be a battle come training camp. While I did cut Brandon McGee, I could see him earning a spot. Unlike a few of the cornerbacks, he doesn't have trouble with off-the-field incidents.
I also expect the Rams to sign one or two depth players for the offensive line. Don't be surprised if Harvey Dahl ends up back on this squad.
Notable cuts: Daryl Richardson, Brandon McGee, and Austin Davis.
