After turning six picks into nine, the Los Angeles Rams came away with a larger class in the 2021 NFL draft this weekend. They traded back three times and selected four players on offense, with another five coming on defense.
For the most part, fans and analysts aren’t very high on this group. There were quite a few picks who were viewed as reaches, with the Rams taking players that projected to go later in the draft.
Obviously, Les Snead and his group have their own draft board, but based on the rankings of analysts before the draft, the Rams lacked value with some of their picks. We went back and looked at where seven different outlets had the Rams’ nine draftees ranked.
