57. Los Angeles Rams (from HOU)
Van Jefferson | WR | Florida
The Rams traded away Brandin Cooks, so this pick makes sense in terms of filling that hole, but there were much bigger needs across the roster, even after losing a player like Cooks.
As a prospect, Jefferson is one of the most polished route runners in this year’s loaded receiver class, and while there may be pass-catchers with more upside, he’s got an extremely high floor.
This isn’t a bad pick, but with Denzel Mims still on the board at receiver, and Josh Jones still there at a position they need more, it just felt too early for a team that needs to maximize every selection after not having a first-rounder.
