Rams mock draft 1.0: Setting aside the Matthew Stafford situation and hitting needs first

Will the Rams target left tackle in Round 1 if they need one? What pass-catcher options out there could fit well with Sean McVay's offense?

1. Josh Conerly Jr., OT, Oregon
3. Harold Fannin Jr., TE, Bowling Green
3. Joshua Farmer, DT, Florida State
4. Mello Dotson, CB, Kansas
6. Ja'Corey Brooks, Louisville
6. Kobe King, ILB, Penn State
6. Jay Higgins, ILB, Iowa

Like all the players but interesting a WR waited until the 6th and 2 ILB.

Maybe I’m reading too much into the tea leaves and especially JRs mock, but it seems like it’s more likely we let Alaric move to instead of giving him a huge contract. If so, LOT obviously is the top draft priority.

Maybe it makes sense too if we are thinking about future. Having too much money into the OL now might be unwise. Getting a cheap, young LOT as a main piece for forward for the future makes sense. Maybe even more so if we move off of Stafford - since we’re not pushing tons of chips for this season.

I take it that means we may let Alaric Jackson walk? I'm not so sure about that decision.

 

[OldSchool]

I think if we let Jackson hit free agency the Patriots offer him franchise money if not a bit more.

I would be ecstatic if the Rams got Josh Farmer in the 3rd round. I think he would make the Rams D-line Elite

I'm thinking she might want to adjust her mock now that we resigned Jackson. Yes, still need a RT of the future, but for this year, not in the 1st I wouldn't think.

Yeah almost every "expert" mock so far has us taking a LT in the 1st. They've all got some work to do. Just as long as they don't have us taking Dart now in the 1st it should be fine.

I think if we ever do end up trading Kupp, they will all switch to WR, which honestly is a huge need anyway.

I bet that’s coming now that Alaric has signed.

Yeah I think they'll go WR or CB until free agency happens even TE if say Loveland falls to us which is possible.

Jourdan seemed convinced that the Rams were going to let Aleric test the market. So, when I saw this draft I figured she felt he was a goner.

With the way defenses played the Rams late in the season taking an OT in round one seems to ignore a bigger need for downfield threats.
