Looking back on the Rams' drafts over the years covering players currently still on the roster, a very consistent pattern begins to emerge. While Johnny Hekker is the longest tenured Ram, he was an undrafted free agent back in 2012. No players from the Rams' 2013 draft class remain on the roster. The longest tenured player drafted by the Rams is Aaron Donald, so we'll begin with the 2014 draft class.
2014: Aaron Donald is the only remaining player from the Rams' 2014 draft and he was the second player drafted by the Rams that year (Greg Robinson was the first player drafted by the Rams that year).
2015: Rob Havenstein is the only remaining player from the Rams' 2015 draft and he was the second player drafted by the Rams that year (Todd Gurley was the first player drafted by the Rams that year).
2016: Tyler Higbee is the only remaining player from the Rams' 2016 draft and he was the second player drafted by the Rams that year (Jared Goff was the first player drafted by the Rams that year).
2017: Cooper Kupp is the only remaining player from the Rams' 2017 draft and he was the second player drafted by the Rams that year (Gerald Everett was the first player drafted by the Rams that year).
2018: Therefore, if this pattern continues, Brian Allen will be the only remaining player from the Rams' 2018 draft at some point after this class hits free agency because he was the second player drafted by the Rams that year (Joseph Noteboom was the first player drafted by the Rams that year).
I'd like to offer Brian a big congrats in advance on his contract extension and I suppose it would only be appropriate to discuss how we will replace the other players drafted that year that will no longer be with us.
Disclaimer: This is a very non-serious analysis and is just for fun.
