LA Rams 2021 NFL Draft: 5 Bold Predictions
By Bret Stuter
As much as I would like to portray the 2021 NFL Draft as routine and predictable, it’s not. This draft will be one of the wildest rides in recent history. Perhaps one of the wildest drafts in the history of the event. And compounding the issue for the LA Rams is the fact that there is plenty of value to be found in each round.
Buckle up buttercup.
Plenty of value, but the key to bargain shopping is filling up the cart. Unfortunately, the Rams will be doing a majority of their roster filling after the draft concludes. Still, that’s not such a bad path to take. This draft is incredibly deep at a number of positions, and that will surely create the situation for highly regarded players to fall beyond the draft.
The Rams won’t be content to just run it back. The team was oh-so-close last year to winning it all. Another win or two in the regular season would have placed the Rams on a different playoff track. Still, the Rams were able to learn lessons from the 2020 NFL season, and now look to get back to the playoff hunt in the 2021 NFL season.
This will be a different type of LA Rams team, perhaps in some ways unlike any other version of head coach Sean McVay’s regular-season roster. The Rams won 10 games in 2020. But during the season, it seemed like the Rams left as many as four victories on the football field. The team this year will be looking to seal those victories, and perhaps claim one or two wins from the jaws of defeat.
Bold challenges require bold actions. So keeping with the spirit of the challenge, here are five bold predictions for the LA Rams and the 2021 NFL Draft. Just call us ‘Nostra RamblinFanus’. And away we go!
