LA Rams Top 5 positional rankings: Offense edition

LA Rams NFL Draft Board offensive tackle class of 2020

1.- Andrew Thomas(Georgia): What can’t you like about a 6-foot-5, 320-pound tackle with three years of experience at left tackle? Thomas is a mauler, excels at run blocking (he looks like a fast-moving refrigerator, the big type of them). In pass protection, he is solid and with experience in a pro-style scheme, so he should adapt faster than other prospects, and start growing and contributing since day 1. The former Georgia bulldog should go top-10.

2.- Jedrick Wills Jr. (Alabama): Wills is strictly a right tackle, that alone could push him down a few spots as some teams don’t value that spot as much as a left tackle (usually the blindside), but don’t be fooled, Jedrick Wills Jr. is an anchor at RT. He has almost every hand technique developed nicely, slides in protection as smooth as a 60’s song makes you feel driven by the Pacific Road Highway in a classic Mustang. His only downside might just be that he has 1 great year, a truly amazing one, but once he took the starting job, he never looked back.

3.- Mekhi Becton (Louisville): Now, this one is big (literally, he stands at an enormous 6’7″ and weighs in at 369 lbs) but his size will only make you look at him with sparkling eyes. Becton projects nicely as a left tackle, he is an amazing run blocker that can reach the second level with ease. Smooth feet in pass protection with a good bend for his size. He might have to get his hand technique better, but this kid is a bully.

4.- Josh Jones (Houston): A physical yet athletic prospect that is better fitted in a scheme that uses a mobile QB. Jones is raw but he is incredibly gifted and athletic, He will zone block the hell out of you. Has room to improve but he is considered (at least by me) a raw prospect with electric abilities. His tape show he can develop as the season unfolds, so he can start early in his career.

5.- Isaiah Wilson (Georgia): The second Bulldog on this list. Wilson projects strictly as a right tackle. He is inconsistent at times, but the level of learning and his athletic ability is just of the charts. Wilson will have to settle more into his blocks at times and will have to learn to be a better zone-blocker, but everything is teachable, and his ceiling is high.
