Keagen Trost, OT, Los Angeles Rams

Trost injured his hamstring in the preseason but should be back by October. While he’ll back up starter Warren McClendon for now, McClendon is entering a contract year. Coaches and scouts were really impressed by Trost throughout training camp, with optimism that he could eventually be a longer-term starter in the vein of Rob Havenstein, the right tackle who played 11 seasons for the franchise before retiring last spring.

AFC scout: “Big, strong and powerful. Another mid-round offensive lineman that L.A. will maximize.”

NFC executive: “Proved (his) power is real and is calm, balanced and poised.”
