The Los Angeles Rams will enter the 2022 NFL draft with eight total draft picks. Given the team’s aggressive nature to acquire proven talent instead of rolling the dice on young prospects in the early rounds, the Rams won’t make their first selection until the third round at pick No. 104.
I wouldn’t consider the wide receiver position a massive need for Los Angeles, but the team got a glimpse at how important it is to have depth at the position just this past season. And with Robert Woods gone, the Rams may want to find someone to work alongside Allen Robinson, Cooper Kupp, and Van Jefferson.
We know that Sean McVay loves to take at least one skill position player in every draft, so there’s a possibility the team adds a wideout later this month. So with that in mind, the first wide receiver prospect that I’ll be taking a look at ahead of the 2022 NFL draft is Tyquan Thornton out of Baylor.
