LA Rams pre-draft meetings climbs to 21

Introductions are in order
So let’s meet the latest quartet who have met with the LA Rams, shall we?
Texas A&M offensive tackle Dan Moore Jr. is a solid talent who projects to be a late day three prospect due to the sheer volume of talent at the position. He is a massive 6-foot-6 309-pound beast who has a good wingspan, low center of gravity, and power. He has played at left tackle for the Aggies and is very effective at constantly surveying the line of scrimmage to identify his priority target.
The Rams need a left tackle to develop as Andrew Whitworth’s successor. Moore could be that guy.
Sure-handed Surratt
Wake Forest wide receiver Sage Surratt is competing with his brother North Carolina inside linebacker Chazz Surratt to be chosen first from the 2021 NFL Draft. There is plenty to like about Sage Surratt. He is a 6-foot-3 215-pound tower who specializes in making contested catches. What a coincidence, because the Rams have a new quarterback who likes to throw into a crowd.
While the Rams are believed to be seeking speed in the draft at the receiver position, I’m of the belief that height is on the list. Josh Reynolds is now gone, and he’s taking his 6-foot-3 towering frame with him. Surratt replaces that radio tower stature and adds a bit of red-zone fierceness that the Rams are looking for.
He isn’t perfect. But he can fill a nice niche for the Rams late in the draft
