When the Rams trade up in the draft, it’s usually for a running back. They moved up for Darrell Henderson Jr. in 2019, Kyren Williams in 2022 and on Saturday afternoon, they traded up 37 spots to select Ole Miss running back Zach Evans.
He was still only a sixth-round pick, but Evans had a fourth-round grade at NFL.com and has the makings of an every-down back as a pro. He has good speed, a vicious stiff-arm and averaged 6.9 yards per carry in his college career at two different schools.
