LA Rams: Pre-Combine 7 round mock NFL Draft 1.1

First, Calvin Throckmorton gets selected first in round 4 at #123. He has a big physical presence on the field. Throckmorton stands 6-feet-5 weighing 309 pounds.
Throckmorton performed well at the East-West Shrine Bowl. In the Senior Bowl, he struggled against the various edge rushers. He might be better suited to play guard in LA. At Oregon, in 2018, he played multiple position on the offensive line.
As a fourth round selection, his contract should be a four year deal with $2,634,344. His versatility and athleticism should propel him into competition for the jobs at center and guard. The Rams need a big presence in the middle on third and short.
Wide Receiver
Next, the compensatory pick, Antonio Gandy-Golden is taken. He played two seasons, 2018-19, at Liberty University with big numbers. The big (6-feet-4 220 pound) wide receiver caught 150 passes for 2433 yards with 20 touchdowns.
If selected, he would be the biggest receiver on the Rams roster. Imagine him lining up in the slot receiver position. The key to the passing game is creating mismatches in coverage.
