Av's Rams Draft Board (Top 70)/Draft Tracker

[AvengerRam]

Since my previous post, I've expanded my board from 50 to 70 players, eliminated 1 (T'Vondre Sweat) for off-field reasons, and added one to replace him (Bralen Trice). I'm reposting this for use (even if you don't agree with my rankings) as a draft tracker. Note that this is a list I created for the Rams, so there are some players that will go in the Top 70 (interior OL, for example) who are not on this list.

I'll refer to this on draft weekend as the picks are made. I'm hoping that we end up with at least 3 of the guys on this list.

1. Caleb Williams, QB, USC
2. Joe Alt, LT, Notre Dame
3. Marvin Harrison, Jr., WR, Ohio State
4. Rome Odunze, WR, Washington

So this is Ram's specific and not actually how you'd stack the board in terms of sheer talent/potential.

It is my board for the Rams, so it combines my perception of the prospects' talent/potential with my view of the Rams' priorities.

If this is a thing, I may have him too high.

I also think I may have JC Latham ranked too low. All depends on whether the Rams see him as a LT (which he hasn’t played since HS).

I'm just realizing you had him above Fuaga. What do you favor over Fuaga with Fautanu?

Also, I'm guessing if this report is true, Fautanu is likely there at 19... and I'd still pass

If the Rams also have him medically flagged, and they really do badly want a LT, this just increased the chances they trade up with Fashanu being the target.

Same issue I have with Latham - lack of LT experience.

I get it, but I'd take talent over experience on the other side of line personally. Not to mention this injury news automatically would drop him down the board for me. Also, the other 2 are animals in the run blocking department, something I think is very important for us going forward.

[André]

I will be ecstatic if we can get two of these guys tonight. I'll guess Ruke and McMillan.

 

[André]

Got another one in Fiske!

 

[AvengerRam]

So far we've drafted No. 7 and No. 28 on my board. Not bad!

Nice job on this list, Av.

Rams sure liked your 7 and 28!

[AvengerRam]

Corum!!!!!

Number 3 player remaining on my board when we selected him!

We now have my 7th, 28th and 41st ranked players!

Love this one!

 

[AvengerRam]

Still a few guys left on my board for Day 3:

1. Austin Booker, EDGE, Kansas (39)
2. Kris Abrams-Draine, CB, Missouri (43)
3. Jaylan Wright, RB, Tennessee (47)
4. T.J. Tampa, CB, Iowa State (57)
5. D.J. James, CB, Auburn (60)
6. Gabriel Murphy, EDGE, UCLA (61)
7. Dylan Laube, RB, New Hampshire (62)
8. Javon Baker, WR, UCF (63)
9. Audric Estime, RB, Notre Dame (64)
10. Brenden Rice, WR, USC (67)
11. Jaylan Ford, LB, Texas (69)

Don't really see Booker or Murphy as likely targets after taking Verse, and I certainly don't expect another RB.

Don't know if any of these guys make it to the 5th Round when the Rams select again, but they could always trade up.

Think the RB's can probably drop off?

I'd be happy with your WR's. And add Washington, but, thats just me.

Yes. RBs are, as a practical matter, off the board.

Would do cartwheels if we could land Baker!

Ford would also be a great fit.
