LA Rams: Top NFL Draft prospects to replace RB Todd Gurley
By Larry Brake
3 Running backs for the LA Rams round 6 pick
There is no reason to fret if the Rams have yet to select a running back in the draft. Running backs are still plentiful as round 6 begins. The price tag is much more reasonable than a high priced free agent.

Overthecap.com values this selection to be worth $3,462,796 over the next four years. Value is the keyword in this selection. These players might be flying under the radar for the other NFL teams. Could one of the next three players become that value deal of the draft?
First, Joshua Kelley would be the steal of the draft in round 6. He played in 22 games at UCLA. Kelley accounted for 2567 yards from scrimmage with 25 touchdowns.
Second, Javon Leake would be a great pick, too. Returning kicks were his specialty at Maryland. Leake had to split time with McFarland but excelled tremendously. He averaged an amazing 7.9 rushing yards-per-carry through three seasons.
Third, Michael Warren might be best available when he is taken here. Warren averaged 5.2 yards each time he ran the ball at Cincinnati University. Most of all, he averaged 8.7 yards per reception.
If the Rams decide to draft a kicker in round 6, LA might pick one of these three in round 7.
