Four NFL Draft Prospects the Rams Must Prioritize

Amazingly, Hurst was never lured to a major Power 4 program with his skill set. At 6-foot-3, 207 pounds, Hurst is a monster at the catch point, especially when it comes to contested catches and finishing grabs with excellent body control, sideline awareness, and superb adjustments in the air.

Furthermore, the former FCS transfer is explosive after the catch and wins with impressive route-running nuance. He would be a big slot in Los Angeles, but having a great teacher like Davante Adams as a teammate would be fun to watch.

Sam Roush, tight end, Stanford Cardinal

Roush is one of the few Y-players at the position in this draft class. He gets after it as a blocker with plenty of leg drive to generate displacement and lanes for running backs working off-tackle. Roush can also thrive as a pass-catcher with strong mitts and impressive athleticism to win in space and over the top of defenders.

This would be a great complement to Terrance Ferguson, especially with Tyler Higbee getting older. The future at the position would be solidified with a potential middle-round selection of Roush.

CJ Allen, linebacker, Georgia Bulldogs

Allen would likely be a trade-back possibility, but he is one of my favorite fits for the Rams defense despite the positional value issues and whether he should even be a consideration at No. 13. Allen is such an explosive linebacker downhill with incredible quickness and range to the ball carrier when working sideline to sideline.

The Georgia standout also shows flashes of being a reliable man defender against running backs and tight ends. Allen will need to improve his overall eyes discipline and coverage prowess in zone drops, but he would make an excellent pairing with Nate Landman to form one of the best front-seven's in football.

Devin Moore, cornerback, Florida Gators

There is an injury history to consider with Moore. However, when healthy, his combination of long-speed, explosiveness downhill with click-and-close ability, press technique, and run defense make him a viable developmental cornerback I would love to see work as a No. 3 outside defender behind Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson.

Moore is a physical defender at the line of scrimmage and has good recognition for patterns and concepts in front of him. His tape is littered with disruptions of timing and rhythm while using great ball tracking skills to make plays on the football. Get him to Los Angeles in a rotational role and allow him to thrive long-term.
