The 2021 NFL draft is just a month away as we change gears from free agency to the six draft picks the Los Angeles Rams have this year. They have needs at edge rusher, inside linebacker, center, cornerback and along the defensive line, with depth needed at other positions, too.
Using Pro Football Focus’ mock draft simulator, I put together my first seven-round projection for the Rams. There were no trades involved in this mock, standing pat at each of the team’s six draft slots to show which prospects could be options along the way.
I found potential starters at outside linebacker, center, inside linebacker and cornerback, as well as a return specialist with high upside as a wide receiver. So let’s get to the picks.
