If you had “Rams select a running back before an offensive lineman” on your bingo board, congratulations. It’s a decision few people could have seen coming, as evidenced by the reactions to the Rams selecting Jake Funk in the seventh round at No. 233 overall.
Funk is an athletic and explosive running back who suffered two ACL tears in college, but he certainly doesn’t fill a position of need. This, like Tutu Atwell, is mostly a luxury pick and one that Sean McVay will have fun with.
Here’s a look at some of the reactions from fans and analysts to the selection of Funk in Round 7, which came before the Rams addressed their offensive line.
Jake Funk isn't a bad prospect I had him going a round before this but with Pooka Williams and Kylin Hill available I'm not a big fan of this pick. 2 ACL tears. Could have gone Dylan Moses if you didn't care about injuries. Smh

Love the Jake Funk pick for the Rams. I was kinda hoping Dallas might eye him. Great ST guy…
