[autotag]Derick Hall[/autotag] is widely expected to be Auburn’s first draft pick in the 2023 NFL draft and is likely going to hear his name called in the second round.
Michael Renner of Pro Football Focus believes that he is a perfect fit for the Los Angeles Rams in the second round and matched the two up in his recent article that found “ideal team-player fits for Day 2 prospects.”
In the middle of a rebuild, the Rams can afford to take a swing on some projects at valuable positions. Hall qualifies as just that; he’s a high-end athlete with hot and cold tape.
The Rams pick fifth in the second round with the 36th overall selection.
Hall made 146 tackles, 29.5 tackles for loss, 19.5 sacks, and forced five fumbles in his four seasons on the Plains. The Gulfport, Mississippi, native was voted a team captain his senior season and named to the All-SEC First Team by the coaches.
The 2023 NFL draft will take place from April 27-29 in Kansas City, Missouri.
