57. OL Robert Hunt, Louisiana-Lafayette
Hunt has received interest from the Rams leading up to the draft and could be a target in the second round. He might go a little later than No. 57 if the Rams pass on him, but for a team that desperately needs guard help, he’d make a lot of sense.
Another Senior Bowl attendee, Hunt is exactly the type of player the Rams typically target. He can play guard and tackle, though his best fit in the NFL is inside at guard. He’s a mobile blocker, too, making him a good fit in the Rams’ zone blocking scheme, which requires guards to get out in space fairly often.
84. LB Jordyn Brooks, Texas Tech
Brooks’ draft position is tough to pin down. He could go as soon as the early part of the second round, or he may slide a bit into the third. There’s a decent chance he’ll be around at pick No. 84, and if so, he’d be a great value at this spot.
This linebacker class has a cluster of players in the second-to-fourth-round range, so it just depends which teams prefer which prospects. Brooks is a fast and physical linebacker and would be a nice replacement for Cory Littleton.
He met with the Rams before the draft and also attended the Senior Bowl. Another option at No. 84 is Akeem Davis-Gaither, but he too could be gone by this point.
