Although it’s not ideal that the Rams have to wait until the second round (again) to make their first pick in the 2021 NFL draft, their trade for Jalen Ramsey looks like an absolute win after he put together an All-Pro season in 2020. And despite their first pick coming at No. 57 overall, they will have plenty of options as they try to plug holes at linebacker, cornerback, center and defensive end.
Daniel Jeremiah of NFL Network appeared on Path to the Draft this week and projected the Rams’ first three picks – beginning with LSU linebacker Jabril Cox with the 57th overall selection.
It wasn’t a true mock draft, but rather Jeremiah slotting one prospect at each of the Rams’ draft positions. So let’s get into the picks.
