First look at Los Angeles Rams 2021 draft class

Rams do not take an offensive lineman in this year's draft

Los Angeles Rams general manager Les Snead was active in this year’s draft, executing three trades that helped get a total of nine players to add to the roster.

With the draft now over, the Rams will look to put together a top-notch group of undrafted rookies to fill out the roster.

The Rams entered this year’s draft with six picks, but with some maneuvering by Snead Los Angeles ends up with nine selections overall -- four picks on offense and five on defense.

Here’s a closer look at this year’s Rams draft class:

Round 2 (57)
WR Tutu Atwell, 5-9, 155, Louisville
The skinny: Atwell finished his career at Louisville tied for fifth in school history with 21 touchdown catches, ranks fourth with 10, 100-yard receiving games and eighth with 2,307 receiving yards. Atwell’s father Chatarius Atwell played wide receiver at Minnesota.

Round 3 (103)
LB Ernest Jones, 6-3, 230 South Carolina
The skinny: Jones led the Gamecocks in tackles for the second straight year with 86 stops in 2020 and had four games with at least 11 tackles during the season. Jones was one of 16 semifinalists for the Butkus Award.
