Rams 7-round mock draft: Cornerback first, center second after trading back

Playing GM for the Rams in this scenario, Los Angeles adds a cornerback first and a center second after trading back from 57.

In one week, the Los Angeles Rams will be on the clock in the 2021 NFL draft, holding the 57th overall pick in the second round. With plenty of holes to plug and playmakers to add, it’s anyone’s guess what direction Les Snead will go to kick off Los Angeles’ draft.

This is our third seven-round mock draft of the year and rather than trying to project what the Rams will do, we opted to go with picks that we would make if in charge of the front office.

By trading back from No. 57, we were able to add an extra fourth- and fifth-round pick, giving us another crack at filling one of the team’s holes. And instead of starting with a center, we brought a new name to the mix at cornerback.

We used Pro Football Focus’ mock draft simulator to make these picks, keeping it as realistic as we could.
