    1st Round values/reaches and best available for Round 2

    My favorites from round one (best value picks):
    Wirfs to TB at 13 (great pick there…)
    Lamb to DAL at 17 (not a guy they were targeting but he’s a top 10 player)

    Worst/reaches:
    Terrell to ATL at 16
    Igbinoghene to MIA at 30
    Arnette to LVR at 19 (late 2nd/early 3rd guy)
    Love to GB at 26 (baffling on many levels….)

    Brooks to SEA seems like a reach at 27 but at the same time he’s going to be a very good player there, so…

    Best available from my aggregated list going into Day 2 (some favorites highlighted):
    21 D’Andre Swift RB Georgia
    23 Ross Blalock DT TCU
    26 Yetur Gross-Manos EDGE Penn State
    27 Trevon Diggs CB Alabama
    28 Xavier McKinney S Alabama
    29 Jaylon Johnson CB Utah
    31 Josh Jones OT Houston
    32 Jonathan Taylor RB Wisconsin
    33 Grant Delpit S LSU
    34 Tee Higgins WR Clemson
    35 Ezra Cleveland OT Boise State
    36 Kristian Fulton CB LSU
    37 AJ Epenesa EDGE Iowa
    39 Zack Baun EDGE Wisconsin
    41 Antoine Winfield, Jr. S Minnesota
    42 JK Dobbins RB Ohio State
    44 Denzel Mims WR Baylor
    46 Michael Pittman, Jr. WR USC
    47 Justin Madubuike DT Texas A&M
    48 Marlon Davidson DT Auburn
    50 Neville Gallimore DT Oklahoma
    51 Lloyd Cushenberry C/G LSU
    52 Laviska Shenault WR Colorado
    53 Jeremy Chinn S Southern Illinois
    54 Cole Kmet TE Notre Dame
    55 Jordan Elliott DT Missouri
    57 Kyle Dugger S Lenoir-Rhyne
    58 Chase Claypool WR Notre Dame
    59 Joshua Uche EDGE Michigan
    60 Robert Hunt OG Louisiana-Lafayette
    61 Cam Akers RB Florida State
    62 Ashtyn Davis S California
    63 KJ Hamler WR Penn State
    66 Jacob Eason QB Washington
    67 Matt Hennessy C/G Temple
    68 Terrell Lewis EDGE Alabama
    69 Logan Wilson LB Wyoming
    70 James Lynch DE Baylor
    71 Curtis Weaver EDGE Boise State

    Now we start hoping for more reaches and then several of these guys ranked 21-50 will be sitting there for the Rams at 52 and 57.

    Rams 2nd round picks since 1960

    Excellent highlights, Mr. House of Atreus.

    This appears to be a very, very deep draft. Obviously, we won’t know until these guys actually play on Sundays, etc.

    But looking at the draft right now, I wish the Rams had twice as many picks. I think if they had a few more, the absence of a First Rounder could easily be ignored.

    Just some favorites left:

    Kyle Dugger S Lenoir-Rhyne. Big, fast, ultra-athletic. He would upgrade the safety spot and give the DC tremendous flexibility. Dugger could play either spot, or play the hybrid linebacker, and/or free up Rapp to do so, etc.

    Favorite replacement for Littleton: Troy Dye ILB 6-3, 231 Oregon. Faster and more athletic than CL. Instant upgrade.

    Favorite OL guy, and he likely won’t require a trade-up (unlike Jones or Cleveland): Robert Hunt OG Louisiana-Lafayette. Big, athletic, etc.

    Preferred RB, if they go that route: Jonathan Taylor RB Wisconsin. He’s big and has 4.4 speed. He would make an excellent Mr. Inside to Henderson’s Mr. Outside.

    Preferred WR, though he’ll likely need a trade-up, which goes against my usual, amateur GM strategery: Denzel Mims WR Baylor. The Rams need speed at the position, and they need someone who can go up and get contested passes. Fall-back: Laviska Shenault WR Colorado. If he checks out medically.

    Preferred center. Should not need trade-up: Matt Hennessy C/G Temple.

    Preferred Edge: Julian Okwara OLB 6-4, 252 Notre Dame. Likely needs a trade-up. Fall-back: Darrell Taylor OLB 6-4, 267 Tennessee.

    Dan Kadar has the Rams taking Swift at 52.
    Matt Miller has the Rams taking Taylor at 57
    Lance Zierlein has the Rams taking Akers at 52

    The list goes on and on..

    Snead has drafted a RB every year with the Rams, save for two.

    These are the rounds Les has drafted RB’s in as GM of the Rams.
    1 -1
    2 -1
    3 -2
    4 -0
    5 -1
    6 -1
    7 -1

    Rich Hammond@Rich_Hammond
    I don’t see any way Jonathan Taylor or D’Andre Swift is still there at No. 52 (Kiper said he thinks five RBs could go in the second round), but yes, they would be atop my list.

    I was first in line last year to say the Rams handled their O-line poorly. But I really don’t think the answer is to rebuild it with rookies…again. If those guys don’t improve/develop, the Rams are in trouble. But there are So. Many. areas in need of depth.

    ZN,

    What’s your preference, at least for the first few picks?

    I kinda like the idea of trading up for Jonathan Taylor. I love when production meets measurables & that’s exactly what you have with Taylor. I can’t imagine Taylor will last all the way to 52.

    He was incredibly productive at Wisconsin and then backed that up with by far the best workout by a rb at the combine.

    He should be able to step in and immediately and threaten teams with his home run speed like Gurley did back in 2018.

    I didn’t follow this one that closely, BT. So I really don’t have any preferences.

    Jack, those aren’t my highlights. That’s LMU93 who did that. I just re-posted it as is.

    One personnel director calls this “the deepest second round in the last 25 years.” He believes there are 20 players available tonight that could have been first-round picks; there usually are 7-10. “There will be as many starters in this round that there are in the first round.”
