2020 NFL Draft Big Board: Top 75 prospects for the Rams

After months of waiting and anticipation, the 2020 NFL Draft is finally upon us – in an all-virtual format with commissioner Roger Goodell announcing each pick from his basement instead of on the Las Vegas strip. It’s an unorthodox version of the draft as we know it, but the goal remains the same: build your team with young, talented prospects for the next four-plus years.

The Los Angeles Rams may not have a first-round pick, but they’re in an excellent position to fortify their roster, particularly at their many positions of need. They have two picks in the second round and two more in the third, making four selections in the top 105.

They need offensive linemen, pass rushers, linebackers and maybe some skill-position players on offense, which gives them countless options early on.

They have their draft board set with hundreds of prospects who have caught their eye, but this is my big board for Los Angeles. I tried to keep it realistic by excluding players who will obviously be gone before the Rams could have a chance to draft them, even in a trade up.

That rules out players such as Chase Young, K’Lavon Chaisson, C.J. Henderson and Isaiah Simmons. This big board is also specific to the Rams, focusing on their positions of need.
