The Los Angeles Rams don’t typically draft to fill immediate needs. They could’ve used offensive line help last year, yet they didn’t draft a single lineman and took an undersized receiver at a deep position with their first pick.
Heading into this year’s draft, the Rams could use depth and starters at cornerback, edge rusher and potentially at guard. That doesn’t mean they’re going to reach for a player at one of those spots, but anyone drafted at those positions has a good chance to contribute early.
Sean McVay said on Tuesday that the Rams plan to come away with players who will help sooner than later, which isn’t usually the case for Los Angeles’ rookies.
