The 2017 NFL draft is finally at hand, and our NFL Nation reporters are here to give one prediction for every team. Dig in.
Los Angeles Rams
The Rams will select several defensive backs.
The focus had been on the offense, because they selected a quarterback, Jared Goff, first overall last year and because they've finished last in the NFL in yards during each of the past two seasons. Yes, the Rams need to supply Goff with more weapons. But they drafted four receiving threats last year -- Pharoh Cooper, Tyler Higbee, Temarrick Hemingway and Mike Thomas -- and they want to see how each develops. Now they have to find players in the secondary to develop. Trumaine Johnson, E.J. Gaines, Lamarcus Joyner, Maurice Alexander and Cody Davis -- their five defensive backs in sub packages -- can all become unrestricted free agents next offseason. The Rams might take a receiver or tight end if a good one is available at 37th overall, but by the end of it, they'll have several defensive backs too. -- Alden Gonzalez
