Rob Havenstein, OT, Rams (2nd round, 57th overall)
The St. Louis Rams have been dying for a development on their offensive line like Rob Havenstein for years.
And years…
And then they get this:

Havenstein comes from a long line of stud linemen out of Wisconsin to at least get a shot at the NFL, but he’s having some really early success as a second rounder. At 6-7, Havenstein has better feet than you’d expect from a man of his size, and obviously knows how to throw defensive linemen around. He’ll be a staple of this Rams offensive line, and paving the way for Todd Gurley for a long time.
