Shortly after selecting eight players, the Los Angeles Rams scrambled for undrafted free agents. They wound up with 11 of them. Below is a look at each.

Ishmael Adams, DB, UCLA: Adams, 5-foot-8, switched from cornerback to receiver for his senior year with the Bruins, finishing with 20 catches for 178 yards while also returning punts and kickoffs. As a redshirt freshman in 2013, he intercepted a team-leading four passes. From 2014 to 2015, he returned three of those interceptions for touchdowns. The Rams will use him as a defensive back.

Jared Collins, DB, Arkansas: Listed at 5-11, 173 pounds, Collins was a starter in his last three years with the Razorbacks and finished his collegiate career with two interceptions and four forced fumbles. He had 34 pass breakups in 38 games from 2014 to 2016.

Kevin Davis, ILB, Colorado State: From the Rams in college to the Rams in the pros. Davis (6-2, 235) really came into his own in his last two years at Colorado State, totaling 24 1/2 tackles for loss. He picked up three sacks and four forced fumbles in 2016.

Justin Davis, RB, USC: Davis split carries over his last three years with the Trojans, running for a combined 2,104 yards and 13 touchdowns on 408 carries. He missed three games as a senior because of a high-ankle sprain and, at 6-1 and 208 pounds, doesn't necessarily possess the strength and physicality to be an effective interior runner.

Jake Eldrenkamp, OL, Washington: Eldrenkamp is considered an athletic, technically sound lineman who can be a natural fit in a zone scheme. Listed at 6-5, 297 pounds, Eldrenkamp would benefit from some added weight. He's naturally a guard, but the Rams will also give him a shot at center.

Anthony McMeans, OL, New Mexico State: A true center, McMeans, 6-2 and 320 pounds, was an honorable mention on All-Sun Belt Conference teams as a junior and senior. He received a fair amount of interest from other teams as an undrafted free agent and should get a decent chance to stick with the Rams.

Johnny Mundt, TE, Oregon: Mundt entered his senior year with 23 career catches for 349 yards, then suffered a knee injury in the opener. At that point, he figured he would eventually just return home and help his family run its farming business. But Mundt played well late, with 19 catches for 265 yards and three touchdowns over the last six games, and will give this football thing another shot.

Folarin Orimolade, OLB, Dartmouth: The Bushnell Cup winner for best Ivy League defensive player, Orimolade (6-0, 235) finished his senior year with nine sacks, 14 1/2 tackles for loss and five forced fumbles. He compiled 23 1/2 sacks throughout his collegiate career.

Aarion Penton, DB, Missouri: Penton was the 242nd-ranked player on Mel Kiper Jr.'s Big Board. He is a bit undersized, at 5-9 and 177 pounds, and doesn't necessarily boast great speed. But he does have solid ball skills. Penton finished his senior year with a career-high five interceptions.

Casey Sayles, DT, Ohio University: Listed at 6-3, 288 pounds, Sayles totaled 12 1/2 tackles for loss and 7 1/2 sacks as a junior and senior for the Bobcats. The Rams are pretty set at defensive line right now, but have several veterans that are headed towards free agency next offseason.

Dravious Wright, DB, NC State: Wright didn't intercept any passes in college, but did break up five of them as a senior, while also forcing four fumbles. He's listed at 5-10, 208 pounds and has experience as a corner and safety.
