Just look at this mess.

Round Overall Player Notes
2 37 SS Jabrill Peppers
3 69 DE Tanoh Kpassagnon
4 112 OG Jessamen Dunker
4 141 RB Jamaal Williams
5 149 WR Shelton Gibson
6 189 OT Storm Norton
6 206 TE Jeremy Sprinkle from Miami
7 234 OLB JoJo Mathis from Baltimore
The Rams underwent plenty of change this offseason, and the need to bring new personnel in to fill spots up and down the roster should preclude any thought of a trade up into Day 1. They need all these picks. The team still lands a Day 1 talent in Peppers, a playmaker in the secondary whose questionable NFL fit could see him slide. The Rams will have faith that Wade Phillips will put him to good use, likely at strong safety next to Lamarcus Joyner.

Kpassagnon has drawn plenty of interest in the predraft process, and he could be a great fit at defensive end with the team switching to the 3-4. That would give them Aaron Donald, Michael Brockers and Kpassagnon on the line in base sets, with Robert Quinn and Connor Barwin out wide at linebacker. The Rams then turn their attention to Sean McVay's offense, adding a potential starter in Dunker who could kick Rob Havenstein out to tackle if Greg Robinson flops there. Williams helps address the lack of depth behind Todd Gurley.

Gibson could be a steal this late if the depth at receiver this year pushes potential Day 2 picks further than expected. Norton provided more line depth, while Sprinkle gives the team a nice option behind Tyler Higbee and in two-tight end sets. Mathis could turn into a steal for Phillips' defense if his talent can be developed.

Where to start?

An OG and an OT, but no C?
A RB in the 4th round?
No TE until the end of the 6th round? In a TE rich draft and for a HC that likes 2-3 TE sets?
An OG at the top of the 4th? We have a logjam of OG candidates.
A SS at #37? We already have Mo as a starting SS on the roster.
Not one single CB from the richest CB draft in 10 years?

Geez...

I assume that someone got PAID to put this together. One of, if not THE worst mocks I've seen this year.

It's an insult to the intelligence of hardcore Ram fans that stay on top of Ram personnel moves and needs.

I could live with Peppers at 37, the dude can flat out play football, but after that it's a disaster... could have had like a Kupp in the third would have helped.
