NFL Draft: Position of LA Rams first drafted player

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Odds last updated Friday, April 24 at 1:30 p.m. ET.

Offense: -110

Defense: -110

The Rams have many needs. Some of their biggest needs entering the 2020 NFL Draft are on the offensive line, linebacker, wide receiver and running back.

Based on the best players available for the second round of the draft, the positions that appear to have the best talent are at receiver, running back and the defensive line.

Only one running back has been selected so far in the whole draft and with the Rams cutting ties with Todd Gurley this offseason, it might be their main focus on Day 2 of the draft.

The best bet for the Rams is to pick OFFENSE (-110).

Complete order of Rams’ picks in 2020 NFL Draft

The Rams will have three picks in the top-105, but none in the first or fifth rounds.

The NFL handed out compensatory picks to 15 teams on Tuesday, giving those franchises extra draft selections for their losses in free agency last year. The Rams were among the 15 teams to receive compensatory picks, being awarded one in the third round.

With no other picks coming the Rams’ way, their full order of picks has been set for the 2020 draft. Here’s where they will pick in Vegas when the big weekend takes place from April 23-25.

  • Round 2, No. 52
  • Round 3, No. 84
  • Round 3, No. 104 (compensatory)
  • Round 4, No. 126
  • Round 6, No. 199
  • Round 7, No. 234

The Rams don’t have their first-round pick this year as a result of the Jalen Ramsey trade they made in October. That pick would have been at No. 20 overall, which is where the Jaguars are picking.

They’re also without a fifth-rounder after they made several trades involving picks in that round. Their original fifth-round pick (No. 165) went to the Jaguars in the Dante Fowler Jr. trade from 2018. The fifth-rounder they got from the Ravens for Marcus Peters was then traded to the Dolphins in the Aqib Talib deal.

In total, the Rams have three top-105 picks and six total. Given Les Snead’s willingness to wheel and deal, though, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see the Rams move down from No. 52 to add more picks in the middle rounds.
