With their final pick of the 2020 NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Rams finally addressed the offensive line. They selected Clemson lineman Tremayne Anchrum at No. 250 overall, their first lineman drafted.
Anchrum can play guard or tackle, but he projects best at guard in the NFL. At 6-foot-2, he doesn’t have prototypical size and length to play tackle, but the Rams could use guard help more than tackle anyway.
He was a two-year starter for the Tigers, playing 30 games in 2018 and 2019 combined. Out of the gate, he’ll be a decent backup option at guard for the Rams, which is a spot that needed to be addressed.
He was Dane Brugler’s 209th-ranked player on his big board, and here’s a snippet of the scouting report.
Anchrum has a natural feel in pass protection, getting proper depth in his pass sets and reacting well to various moves. While athletic enough to handle space, he will occasionally overcommit himself when stressed vs. speed and his blend of bend and power might be better suited inside. Overall, Anchrum has the skill set of a tackle-guard tweener, but his body quickness, punch strength and play demeanor are NFL-quality, projecting best as a swing blocker in a zone-blocking scheme.
