Los Angeles Rams 7-round 2020 mock draft: Reloading the defense
With the first of two third-round picks, the Rams finally address what is arguably the biggest need on their roster right now at linebacker with Wyoming’s Logan Wilson.
A converted defensive back in high school, Wilson adjusted tremendously to the linebacker position and his above average athletic traits, coverage skills, and attacking mentality are exactly what the Rams need in the middle of their defensive unit.
This might be a little too late for the Rams to wait at this position, but Wilson would be a great value and a day one starter here.
Needing a little bit of depth at both running back and wide receiver, why not take a guy in the third round who can do both?
Antonio Gibson was once a college teammate of Rams third-round pick in 2019 Darrell Henderson, and now they could be teammates again as the Rams get the big-time playmaker here with their compensatory third-round pick in 2020.
Gibson played mostly slot at Memphis last year, but showed off his skills as a running back and receiver, and could give the Rams a heck of a weapon with the Departure of both Brandin Cooks and Todd Gurley this offseason.
