The first major week of draft season is upon us with the top senior prospects converging on Mobile, Ala., for the 2020 Senior Bowl. Future first-rounders participate in the Senior Bowl each year, giving teams an additional look at many of the best players in the country for a week of practice.
The game will take place on Saturday between the North and South squads, but a lot can be learned in drills leading up to the game.
Here are 10 prospects at the Senior Bowl the Rams (and fans) should be watching this week and on Saturday afternoon during the game.
Houston OT Josh Jones
Jones is a borderline first-round prospect, but he would be a potential replacement for Andrew Whitworth if he retires or leaves in free agency this offseason. He’s arguably the best offensive line prospect in Mobile this week and only played left tackle in college, which should make it an easier transition to the NFL at that spot. Landing Jones in the second round would be a huge steal for the Rams, especially if Whitworth isn’t back in 2020.
Alabama OLB Terrell Lewis
The Rams could be more versatile under new defensive coordinator Brandon Staley, and Lewis offers the flexibility at outside linebacker and as a down-lineman in sub-packages. His college production was limited to only seven sacks in 14 games, missing all of the 2018 season due to injury.
