Even with Sony Michel still being a free agent, the Los Angeles Rams appear to be in good shape at running back. Cam Akers is healthy again after recovering from his torn Achilles suffered last summer, and Darrell Henderson Jr. is a perfect change-of-pace backup. The Rams also have Jake Funk, Xavier Jones and Raymond Calais, who all missed most (or all) of last season due to injury.
If there’s one position besides quarterback that the Rams don’t have to double-up on, it’s running back. Yet, in CBS Sports’ latest seven-round mock draft, that’s exactly what they do – including with their first pick at No. 104 overall.
With that pick, the Rams take Florida running back Dameon Pierce. It’s not that Pierce is a bad player. It’s just that the Rams don’t need to spend another pick in the first three rounds on a running back.
