The Rams still have direct needs at C, FS, and WR. I hope the Rams can fill these holes early while also taking the best player available.
2.5 (37) Pat Elflein C Ohio St (6'3 303)
Comparisons to Travis Fredrick or Zach Martin bode well for Elflein. High character guy, which seems to fit the McVay bill. Not the best athlete but has superb technique makes up for any short comings. Team captain and overall hard worker, will step in day 1 and be starter.
3.5 (69) Derek Rivers DE/OLB YSU (6-4 248)
Wade Phillips defense will always take more pass rushers, and with Barwin and Quinn looking like the only 3-4 OLB options on the Rams they might want to draft someone fairly early. He is a small school prospect and has high levels of production and character.
4.5 (112) Amara Darboh WR Mich (6'2 214)
Had Darboh in my last mock, Talented athlete but I think he'd really add a deep threat element that the Rams will need. I think development of Thomas and Cooper would really help the receiving core, but all that depends on McVay and his system.
4.34 (141) John Johnson S BC (6' 208)
Solid athlete with upside. Played CB, S, and was a huge contributor on special teams and could find his way on the field early as a special teams ace. Then hopefully with time the Rams end up with a pretty solid FS as well.
5.5 (149) Jermey Sprinkle TE Ark (6'5 252)
Solid run blocker with pretty solid athleticism. Long arms are good for blocking and still has ability to add bulk to his frame. Doesn't have the greatest receiving skills or skill set, but th Rams should be looking for a TE2 that can be a solid in line blocker and use athleticism in open space. The Redskins used multi TE packages often and I'm sure that will transition over to the Rams
6.5 (189) Ben Gedeon LB Ohio St (6'2 244)
Addition to the LB core with another hard worker and team player. Pretty instinctual but still could react faster. Could be a serviceable fill in if Ogletree or Barron get hurt.
6.22 (206) Jehu Chesson WR Mich (6'3 204)
Good size and is a solid option but doesn't have he same pop he did in 2015 before his injury. I'm not a Michigan fan by any means, but Harbaugh is a great coach who makes sure his players are well rounded and play tough.
7.16 (234) Dan Brunskill OT San Diego St (6'5 273)
Making the transition from TE to OT. A good athlete for the position but needs time in the weight room and cafeteria to add weight the right way. I like the idea of him being a goal line TE to come in as an extra blocker. Will need time to develop but could be an interesting find a year or two from now.
I know it seems to be Michigan heavy, but they produce tough football players and I think each of these guys have a chance to battle for playing time early in their careers.
