Random Ramsdom: Plenty of top players left on Day 2

The Rams watched the majority of the 32 NFL clubs make a selection on Day 1 of the 2020 NFL Draft, with some making two, and even three if you were the Miami Dolphins. McVay and the GMs from the Chicago Bears and Houston Texans are now set to make their first selections of the event later today, with the Rams having four total picks between Rounds 2 and 3.

This team’s biggest needs are still offensive line, edge rusher, and cornerback. With picks No. 52 and No. 57 in the second round and picks No. 84 and No. 104 in the third, they still have plenty of ammo to get four talented players or package one of those to move up and grab a prospect that’s fallen close enough to their turn.

As far as remaining tackles go, Houston’s Josh Jones and Boise State’s Ezra Cleveland are the top remaining tackles on the board. The only interior lineman to go on Day 1 was Michigan center Cesar Ruiz, which means other top prospects at the position like Washington’s Nick Harris and Temple’s Matt Hennessy remain.

If they want to target cornerbacks with any of their picks, Alabama’s Trevon Diggs and Mississippi State’s Cameron Dantzler are likely the top cornerbacks left on most team’s boards. Both are tall, rangy defenders who could provide an intimidating presence opposite Jalen Ramsey.
