Barring a massive and completely unforeseen trade up in the draft, the Los Angeles Rams will once again sit out the first round on Thursday night. But they will make their first selection at No. 57 overall, with two third-round picks following at Nos. 88 and 103.
When they send in their pick, it’ll be a Rams legend announcing their selections on Day 2 of the draft. Hall of Fame left tackle Orlando Pace will have that honor next week, announcing the Rams’ second- and third-round picks.
Each team will have either a current or former player announce its Day 2 picks, and Pace is one of just seven Hall of Famers in the group of 32 honorees.
Pace and Jackie Slater announced the Rams’ Day 2 picks in 2019, so this isn’t the first time he’s done it. Pace played 12 of his 13 NFL seasons with the Rams, earning seven Pro Bowl selections and being named a first-team All-Pro three times. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2016 and is regarded as one of the best left tackles in NFL history.
