Rams Day 2 mock draft: LA addresses top 2 needs in Rounds 2-3
In our Day 2 mock draft, the Rams address the linebacker position first before turning their attention to wide receiver.
The Los Angeles Rams prioritized the future over the present in Round 1 of the draft on Thursday night, which was a surprise to many. They took quarterback Ty Simpson with the 13th pick, adding a player they hope will be their franchise signal caller after Matthew Stafford retires. For those disappointed by the selection, there’s good news: The draft isn’t over.
The Rams have two more picks on Friday night, one in the second round and one in the third. This is where they can target instant-impact players at positions of need. We ran a Day 2 mock draft using PFF’s simulator and came away with two guys who can help right away.
Round 2, No. 61: LB Anthony Hill Jr. , Texas The Rams can go in a lot of different directions with this pick.
Wide receiver is an option, and I considered De'Zhaun Stribling. But Hill's upside is almost too good to pass up at this spot. He's a terrific athlete who can cover a ton of ground, which is exactly the type of player the Rams need next to Nate Landman.
