Drafting for immediate need isn’t something Los Angeles Rams general manager Les Snead does often. Particularly in the last five years, he and Sean McVay have drafted based on value rather than reaching for players who might fill a hole on the roster.
That sometimes leads to limited roles for the Rams’ rookies before they get bigger opportunities two or three years down the road. Sebastian Joseph-Day, Joe Noteboom, Brian Allen, Darrell Henderson Jr. and David Edwards are all examples of that.
This year could be a similar story for the Rams’ rookies, with no draftees looking like locks to start in Year 1. There will be contributors, of course, and we ranked the all nine players in order of their potential impact for this coming season.
