The 2013 draft class wasn’t very rich with wide receiver talent. Only three wideouts went in the first round, with just one going in the first 25 picks. That one receiver, of course, was Tavon Austin, who was picked by the Rams at No. 8 overall out of West Virginia.
In hindsight, the Rams could’ve had DeAndre Hopkins, who was the second wideout off the board that year. They even considered taking him with their first pick, telling Hopkins as much before the NFL combine.
