To be honest, I'm hoping they can land Shane Lemieux, LG from Oregon at 52, but I doubt he's there: [

Lamical Perine, RB, Florida or Cam Akers, RB, Florida St. in the 3rd would be a home run if there
Jake Hanson, C, Oregon - steal if he is there.
Bradley Anae, OLB, Utah - best days may be ahead. Good at Senior Bowl
I dont like Oregon, so let me start with that. Not personally, I just have never been a big fan of their Olineman. If Lemieux is gone by 52, I'd be absolutely shocked. I don't have him in my top 10 IOL, and personally I think he's closer to a 4th rounder. And he is way too stiff to be an OZS LG, so he is off the Rams board IMO. sorry.
I mocked Perine in my 1st mock, but as I think about it, I'm not sure he is a scheme fit. Not sure Akers is either, you need patience as a OZS runner, and he lacks that. Perine has plenty of patience, but I wonder if he is a better fit in a gap power scheme. I'd personally take Akers in the 2nd and Perine in the 4th with zero issues. Just not sure the Rams would.
Do not like Hanson. He has a light lower body and lacks strength. On top of that, his 6'-5" frame lends to leverage issues. If you want to take a smaller zone OC, take Harris. But neither guy is that much of an upgrade over Allen, sans the experience.
If you want a zone OC, grab Biadasz or Hennessy in round 3 or 2 respectively.
I like Anae. More then most on this board. he is a bit stiff, but the dude wins. good hand fighter and that is always a bonus. A serious try hard and is good against the run. I would love the pick.
This is going to be a seriously messed up draft, simply because teams are going to have to rely on their scouts and tape more then ever before. And teams that didn't have a full contingency at the combine are even further behind the 8 ball. (like the Rams ) No pro days, no individual visits, no medical rechecks. Its a real s--tshow for guys that were rehabbing injuries and it will be almost impossible to see their progress. They will need to rely on the kids private doctors report and then draft according to that.
So a guy like Tyler Biadasz, who had shoulder surgery this offseason, has no way to communicate how he is doing other then a note from his doctor lol. He almost has to drop in the draft, right? If you can get him in the 4th, it'll be perfect. Otherwise if you want a OC, pray Hennessy is there at 52. Otherwise, punt this year, because Ruiz is long gone and probably Cushenberry as well.
If you can get Greenard or Weaver in the 3rd, sweet, because they are run defenders as well as pass rushers. Perfect for this new Rams defense.
Lastly, I think LG is more important then OC. So I'd look long and hard at Bredeson, Hunt, Meti or Stenberg if one of those fall should be in play in the 4th.
