For the fifth year in a row, the Los Angeles Rams will be sitting out the first round of the NFL draft. They traded away their first-rounder in a deal for Jalen Ramsey two years ago, a move that has unquestionably worked in their favor.
That pick wound up being No. 25 overall, which is where the Jaguars will make their second selection in Round 1. The Rams, on the other hand, will have to wait 32 picks later, joining the fun at No. 57 overall in the second round. It’s hard to predict which prospects will be there, or which position the Rams will target at that spot.
NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah held a conference call on Tuesday, answering questions from reporters for almost two hours. He was asked about positions the Rams could be looking at in the second round, highlighting edge rusher and the offensive line – both the interior and at tackle.
“I think when you look at them, I think trying to find more edge rush,” Jeremiah said. “You’re always trying to do that. We’ll see what happens in free agency. I would imagine they’ll probably be in the market for that. And then you could look on the offensive line, both interior and at tackle. Those would be the two places I would look.”
Jeremiah then went into more detail on two prospects he could see fitting with the Rams, ranking just outside his top 50 at positions of need.
