There are some wildcard positions/players, granted, like the TE position, who the Rams might not want to pass up. But again at TE since that player will slide into a depth role and since it is very, very deep as a position in this draft I doubt they address it early.
I don’t know that it is a given that a TE would slide into a depth role.
There are many reports from various draft experts and even some NFL insiders that have said that this TE class is deeper than it has been in a decade. Higbee is a bit more developed than a rookie but they may be able to pick up a more talented guy given the depth that can slide in as a starter.
