Teams in the NFC West had a lot of success in the 2019 NFL Draft, but nobody is perfect. In this post, we give each NFC West team a mulligan and re-pick one 2019 NFL Draft selection.
No division made more noise in the 2019 NFL Draft than the NFC West. The Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers held the top two picks and added potential superstar talents. The Seattle Seahawks traded down time-and-time again, beginning the week with only four draft picks and leaving the 2019 NFL Draft with 11 total picks made. The Los Angeles Rams were also able to significantly improve their roster with a quietly impressive group of players.
Simply put, each team in the NFC West was active in the 2019 NFL Draft and significantly improved their chances to compete in the long-term. However, there is no such thing as a perfect draft. No matter how much you like an NFL draft class, there is always room for improvement.
In this post, we are going to look at each NFC West draft class and make one change to improve their haul. Basically, if I were able to make a single change to their draft class, which pick would I swap based on the available talent that was on the board?
This should be a fun exercise that will give us a chance to look at the 2019 NFL draft classes in the NFC West and see where these teams missed the mark. Up first, the defending NFC Champions, the Los Angeles Rams.
