Los Angeles Rams

Key Draft Needs: CB, OL, WR

Record: 4-10

Cornerback – The Rams made the decision last offseason to keep Trumaine Johnson instead of Janoris Jenkins, who followed the money and landed with the New York Giants. The Rams could lose Johnson if they’re unable to come to an agreement prior to free agency, and it would leave them with even less depth at such a key position. Lamarcus Joyner is limited to the nickel spot due to his small stature and the outside corner spot alongside Johnson has been a revolving door all season long.

Offensive Line – Finding the right pieces along the offensive line to protect franchise savior Jared Goff and help open holes for Todd Gurley is a must, as what they currently have is not enough. Rob Havenstein has been solid at right tackle, but their most famous member, former second overall pick Greg Robinson, leads the NFL with 10 total penalties.

Wide Receiver – A true number one receiver is also needed for Jared Goff moving forward. Tavon Austin is a gadget player and both Brian Quick and Kenny Britt are free agents at the end of this year. USC WR Juju Smith-Schuster could be of intrigue to the Rams in the second round, as it must be noted that the Rams traded away their 2017 first-round pick to the Titans before the 2016 draft in order to select Goff.
