The Rams set up workouts with Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota this month, although it will likely a big price in a trade for them to move high enough up the draft order to secure either of those quarterbacks.
Rams coach Jeff Fisher said the team intends to add a quarterback to the roster in the draft, though, which means they can’t just look at those two players. Gil Brandt of NFL Media reports that Baylor’s Bryce Petty will be on that list.
Brandt reports that Petty is scheduled to work out for the Rams on Saturday, who join the Cowboys, Jets and Chargers as teams that have spent time with Petty during the pre-draft process. While Baylor coach Art Briles has touted Petty as a first-rounder, the wider consensus has pegged him as a second day pick.
With Nick Foles in St. Louis, the Rams probably wouldn’t look to Petty as a starter right away. That’s probably best for a quarterback who had his ups and downs last year in a spread offense at Baylor and likely needs time and tutoring if his skills are going to translate to the professional level.
