With the 174th overall pick in the draft, the Los Angeles Rams selected Georgia offensive tackle Warren McClendon Jr.
This selection came after the Rams traded down twice in the fifth round, acquiring two more picks in the seventh round to give them 11 total on Day 3.
McClendon is 6-foot-4 and 306 pounds, so he doesn’t necessarily have the size or length to hold up full-time at tackle. That could lead to a transition to guard at some point, depending on how the Rams view him.
He started for three years at Georgia, winning two national championships alongside Stetson Bennett, who was also drafted by the Rams. McClendon primarily played right tackle for the Bulldogs, a position currently occupied by Rob Havenstein.
Another DAWG.
