Or we could’ve gotten Nick Bolton in round two, who went off the board right after our pick.TuTu Atwell, WR, Louisville
One of the fastest players in the class, Atwell is small in stature but can make a big impact. The Rams had holes on defense to address that should have taken precedence, but Sean McVay wants to dominate on offense. Another playmaker for new quarterback Matthew Stafford.
Grade: C-
Ernest Jones, LB, South Carolina
The Rams took a special-teams linebacker over Jabril Cox, Baron Browning, and Cam McGrone. Ernest Jones is a limited athlete who struggles covering in space. The Rams needed a linebacker, but this is a reach and a half over much, much better players.
Grade: F
