Behind those three the Rams have Buddy Howell currently on the active roster. They also have Javian Hawkins on the practice squad and a host of RBs on IR: Raymond Calais, Xavier Jones, and Jake Funk (in addition to Akers).
The Rams are currently 8 deep at RB. And of course, a lot depends on what Howell and Hawkins can contribute and also on whether those 4 RBs on IR come back 100%. I'm fine with the Rams drafting a RB, but if Akers, Hendo, Michel, and Funk are good to go then they might be just as well off rolling with those other 4 guys on the bottom of the roster and using that draft pick elsewhere.
As usual, you make a ton of sense, AlbaNY.
I will say this. Rams will most certainly be monitoring Akers’ progress as the draft approaches. Fingers crossed that the kid recovers 100%.
