Most analysts and fans expect the Los Angeles Rams to take either an edge rusher or defensive tackle in the first round of the draft next week. That’s probably a good bet, but Les Snead and Sean McVay rarely do the expected. That’s why in our latest seven-round mock draft, we have the Rams going in a different direction by addressing a position that’s not necessarily a pressing need with their first pick. Rather than taking an edge rusher such as Laiatu Latu or Chop Robinson at No. 19, we went with LSU wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. – a dynamic playmaker who would be the perfect complement to Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp. Here’s our full seven-round projection for the Rams with the draft just over a week away.
