Do the Rams need more size at wide receiver?By Alden Gonzalez
LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Rams still need more targets for Jared Goff, an issue they will probably look to address through an upcoming draft that projects to be considerably deep at receiver and tight end.
More specifically, though, perhaps they could use some more size.
The Rams' highest-paid receiver, Tavon Austin, is listed at 5-foot-8. Their newest receiver, Robert Woods, is 6-foot. And Pharoh Cooper, a fourth-round pick from 2016 who is on track to be a primary weapon, is 5-11. The only receivers taller than even 6-1 -- Paul McRoberts and Marquez North -- seem like long shots to crack the 53-man roster.
Based on depth charts provided by Roster Resource, the Rams stand as one of only four teams whose top three receivers are 6-foot or shorter. Two of the others are NFC West rivals, the 49ers (Pierre Garcon, Jeremy Kerley and Marquise Goodwin) and the Seahawks (Doug Baldwin, Tyler Lockett and Paul Richardson). The third team is the defending Super Bowl champion Patriots, who have Julian Edelman, Malcolm Mitchell and the recently signed Brandin Cooks listed as their top three.
