LA Rams Mock 2020 NFL Draft 1.0 Need vs BPA

LA Rams Mock 2020 NFl Draft Summary

As is the case with any mock draft, players selected with each pick are completely dependent upon being on the draft board as the selection is made. That point will be lost to some, as comments will no doubt be made arguing the availability of a player at a round lower than they feel is correct.  There is no point in arguing that.  Even if the disputed concerns are 100 percent correct,  the absence of the selected player simply means the presence of another player who was not on the board during these two mocks. Ultimately, some quality players will fall.

So it becomes a moot point.  Regardless whether the team uses either a need or a BPA philosophy, the results will most likely be similarly debated through dozens of simulations.

We’ll do more mock drafts going forward.  Certainly one most assuredly after the 2020 NFL Combine. To recap the results of the two mock drafts

Drafting for need resulted in:

52: R2P20 OT BEN BARTCH  ST. JOHNS
84: R3P20  C MATT HENNESSY TEMPLE
123: R4P20 G JONAH JACKSON  OHIO STATE
137: R4P34 OT SAAHDIQ CHARLES LSU
199: R6P20 EDGE TREVON HILL  MIAMI
234: R7P20 LB MYKAL WALKER FRESNO STATE

Drafting for BPA resulted in:

52: R2P20 TE COLE KMET NOTRE DAME
84: R3P20 G SOLOMON KINDLEY GEORGIA
123: R4P20 C JAKE HANSON OREGON
137: R4P34 LB JORDYN BROOKS  TEXAS TECH
199: R6P20 S SHYHEIM CARTER ALABAMA
234: R7P20 OT VICTOR JOHNSON APPALACHIAN STATE

Whether by need or by BPA, the LA Rams will boast a much more hopeful roster after the 2020 NFL Draft.

Of course, the Rams will be making moves in the NFL Free agency market, as well as scrambling to sign an estimated 20 UDFAs at the conclusion of the NFL Draft.  The Rams have had success in their UDFA signings, promoting six such players to the 53 player roster in 2019.
