On the one hand, many evals and mocks are showing TE, WR, CB, and even C there.
All players with great value/need intersections.
However...
There are endless other evals and mocks showing players that should be able to contribute in their rookie year at those same positions of TE, WR, CB, and C that can be selected through the 4th round, at least. I'm defining "contribute" as getting significant quality snaps, perhaps even being the new starter by midseason. Maybe even by opening day.
So, how to handicap the Ram draft strategy this year?
I think that the smart play is to let the draft come to us. Just roll with it, resisting any temptations to trade up.
There will be a 1st round rated talent that falls to them at #37. Probably several, actually. Take their favorite.
They must avoid getting married to a particular position or player prior to #37, IOW.
Then take BPA at the subsequent picks at needed positions not previously acquired.
Repeat through at least round five.
In this way, the draft decisions and roster fills will sort themselves out. Easy peasy, huh?
It's just that kind of a draft.
Kinda fun not knowing if our newest O weapons at TE or WR will come to us in the 2nd round or the 4th. Fun and exciting.
Can't wait.
