104. WR Van Jefferson, Florida
In this scenario, the Rams wait a bit to add a wide receiver rather than grabbing one in the second round. Jefferson is someone who piqued their interest, though, as they met with him over FaceTime this spring.
Jefferson isn’t the explosive playmaker that some of the top receivers are, but he’s a refined route runner – maybe the best one in the class. He can also play any wide receiver position, which is valuable in the Rams’ offense.
126. RB Darrynton Evans, Appalachian State
Continuing the trend of the Rams picking players they met with before the draft, I have Evans going to L.A. in the fourth round. Evans is an underrated back in this draft, though he’s quickly risen up draft boards this offseason. He ran a 4.41 in the 40 at the combine, has good receiving skills and is best in an outside-zone scheme.
He checks all the boxes the Rams could want in a running back, which explains their interest in him. As a complementary piece and backup plan to Darrell Henderson and Malcolm Brown, Evans is as good as it’s going to get for the Rams on Day 3.
