This is my first stab. Still early, and both FA and various workouts will likely change a lot of this. With that said, here are my projections!
Round 2(57): Creed Humphrey, C, Oklahoma
Humphrey gives the Rams a bigger anchor in the middle of the OL, and would allow us to move on from UFA Austin Blythe. Humphrey has extensive experience as a starter, and is no stranger to pass protection playing for Oklahoma. Other options include Josh Myers, Ohio State (probably goes earlier), and Landon Dickerson, Alabama (perhaps could get him a bit later).
Round 3(88): Victor Dimujeke, EDGE, Duke
With Leonard Floyd and Samson Ebukam potentially leaving in free agency, and Terrell Lewis having trouble staying on the field as a rookie, the Rams can use another young pass rusher. Dimujeke had 16 sacks over the past two seasons, and also brings some needed versatility with Raheem Morris likely mixing in more 4-3 alignments.
Round 3(COMP): Dayami Brown, WR, North Carolina
Here’s that deep threat we were missing. I think Brown can last this long given the depth of the WR class and his limited route tree. He does, however, what we need a WR to do: stretch the field. Over the last two seasons, he averaged over 20 ypc and had 20 TDs.
Round 3(COMP): Baron Browning, LB, Ohio State
Though his production in college doesn’t jump off the page, he is an athletic player with the ability to play inside and a lot of upside. Though he’s not the tackling machine model at this point, I think he has “thumper” potential.
Round 4(COMP): Rodarius Williams, CB, Oklahoma State
The Rams won’t be able to retain both Darious Williams (RFA – expect to keep) and Troy Hill (UFA – probably goes), so they’ll need some depth at the CB spot. I like Williams’ size (6’0, 193) and his ability to get his hands on the ball (31 PDs in 4 years).
Round 6(183): Reed Blankenship, S, Middle Tennessee
Showed some promise, and some durability issues in college. If he can stay healthy, could be a value choice here. With John Johnson potentially leaving, depth at this spot is needed.
Round 7(215): Spencer Brown, RB, UAB
Big back (235) who can catch the ball and does well in pass protection. A replacement for UFA Malcolm Brown.
