Los Angeles Rams 7-Round Mock Draft and Top-100 Big Board
The 2016 NFL draft will be the very first draft for the new Los Angeles Rams, so it’s sure to be a historic event for the franchise. The team will attempt to make a splash and create an exciting product for its new fanbase.
In fact, the Rams aren’t waiting for draft day to make that splash. They’ve already turned mock drafts upside down by acquiring the No. 1 overall draft pick.
According to Paul Kuharsky of ESPN.com, the Rams will receive Tennessee‘s first (No. 1 overall), fourth (113) and sixth-round (177) selections in 2016, but the price is hefty. The Rams give up their first-round pick (No. 15 overall), both second-round picks (43 and 45) and third-round pick (76). Additionally, Tennessee will receive the Rams’ first and third-round picks in 2017.
It’s a rare megadeal that will either make or break the franchise for the next five years. However, coach Jeff Fisher and general manager Les Snead have yet to produce a winning season in their four years with the team. They’re both at the end of the line, so it’s likely they’re far more concerned with the 2016 season as opposed to long-term consequences. This is their Hail Mary pass.
With so much at stake, the Rams must hit on their picks. Failing to find a star at No. 1 overall, along with some solid role players late in the draft, will cripple the franchise.
This article will mock Los Angeles’ draft and predict the picks that could finally turn the Rams into a contender.
Additionally, we’ll review the top-100 players that could be on the Rams’ big board.
