The Los Angeles Rams stood pat at No. 169 and selected Wisconsin offensive lineman David Edwards in the fifth round of the draft. They add another O-lineman to the roster after taking Bobby Evans in the third round on Friday night.
Edwards is a big offensive tackle, standing 6-foot-6, 308 pounds. He was projected to be a fifth-round pick by NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein, so the Rams got solid value with him at No. 169 overall.
He was a three-year starter at Wisconsin, which has become a factory for NFL offensive linemen, playing exclusively at right tackle. He’s a good athlete, having played quarterback and tight end in high school.
Edwards displayed unmatched toughness last season, starting 10 games for the Badgers despite suffering a shoulder injury before the year began. He earned second-team All-Big Ten honors in 2018.
