Round 6, Pick 189: Chandler Zavala, OG, North Carolina State

More help along the offensive line is the move in this Los Angeles Rams mock draft. The plan the Rams have for Logan Bruss (tackle or guard) will determine a lot of the plan at offensive line, but here we mix it up and look towards the interior. Chandler Zavala is one of the gems on day three of the 2023 NFL Draft at guard. He’s a true mauler at the point of attack who can open holes in the run game and help protect Matthew Stafford. His ability to reach block will fit in the zone scheme.

Round 6, Pick 191: Eku Leota, EDGE, Auburn

Another pick on the edge for the Rams here to round out the sixth round. Eku Leota has the speed to help contain against the run on the edge and work in backside pursuit. He can convert explosion to power and counter well in the contact phase.

Round 7, Pick 223: Rejzohn Wright, CB, Oregon State

More size and speed at corner? Why not! Rejzohn Wright has the ability to play in press man and in zone coverage. He can challenge receivers and be disruptive throughout the stem, and has great leaping ability to convert opportunities into interceptions at the catch point.

Round 7, Pick 251: Noah Gindorff, TE, North Dakota State

How about a fun swing to end this Rams mock draft? There isn’t much juice at tight end right now, so why not get a stud blocker in Noah Gindorff who can also threaten up the seam? Gindorff has the power post-catch to run over defenders and bounce off would-be tacklers for extra gains.
