The Los Angeles Rams sat out the first round of the draft again this year, opting not to trade up from the 36th overall pick. That’s not surprising given all the needs this team has, even as tempting as it may have been to go up and get Nolan Smith at the end of the first.
It’s perfectly fine that they stood pat because the board fell nicely for the Rams heading into Day 2. There are still a lot of great prospects available, including a top cornerback, a do-it-all tight end and a versatile defensive back from Alabama.
