Washington Huskies S Taylor RappPick analysisPick gradeI obviously support the pick having mocked Rapp to us at #45 before today’s proceedings kicked off. It’s just one of those picks that made sense. Roster gap, role fit, production and personality. It’s also why the Rams were always going to be keen to trade down. Rapp’s the exact kind of role player and potential star, development pending, the Rams needed to mine out of Day 2.#70.) Memphis Tigers RB Darrell HendersonPick analysisPick gradeSigh. This pick isn’t about Henderson. It’s almost entirely about Rams RB Todd Gurley. And that’s ok. We have to come to terms with it.It’s just...what Dakota Allen Jersey nfl draft , sad? Depressing? Pathetic on behalf of how the media treated Gurley at the end of the season? Yeah, all of that.Henderson’s a fine RB prospect. And to avoid taking a capable running back until #70? That’s meeting position value for draft capital. So on its face, a fine pick. It just means the end of Gurley as a workhorse running back...and the end of being able to come anywhere near meeting the contract the Rams inked him to just eight months ago.The Rams made Todd Gurley the highest-paid running back in the NFL and immediately spent their second pick in the successive draft on a RB.That’s just not good business. At all.#79.) Michigan Wolverines CB David LongPick analysisPick gradeLong reminds me a hell of a lot of former Rams CB Bradley Fletcher in a good way. He’s a physical, exhausting corner that can play early. Great timing, great pick, great value.#97.) Oklahoma Sooners OL Bobby EvansPick analysisPick gradeNow we’re starting to get into projection and development and the kinds of things you get comfortable with well beyond the first round.Evans is far from a dominant prospect. He’s got plenty of upside and line versatility. But it’s going to take some work to find a spot for him with LT Andrew Whitworth and RT Rob Havenstein locked in on the bookends.Overall, it’s a fine class thus far. I’ll save my grade until after we wrap things up tomorrow Discount Dakota Allen Jersey , but ultimately the biggest outcome was the selection of a running back on Day 2 in the first draft after making Todd Gurley the highest-paid running back in the NFL.The Rams are coming off of a Super Bowl appearance. There’s every bit of evidence to suggest they’ll be among the most competitive teams in the NFL again this year. But tonight’s biggest outcome puts a damper on perhaps their biggest offensive superstar in a way the Rams’ brass refuses to address with any sincerity in their media availability.The road to the 2019 is on... While the Los Angeles Rams are getting set for the playoffs, the majority of the NFL is in offseason mode and looking ahead to the 2019 NFL Draft.So while the mock drafts are beginning to come in hot and heavy, the final week of the regular season gave us the early draft order for the 20 teams who didn’t make the playoffs:2019 NFL Draft OrderRd#Rd#TeamRd#Rd#TeamSo yes, the first and second picks of the draft will head to the NFC West via the Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers, respectively.We’re going to have to wait for the coaching carousel to slow down to get a better sense of what kinds of roster builds will be required, but the general assessment of roster needs will get us settled as we head toward the combine next month. The big point of fact for both is that they have quarterbacks to rely on in Cardinals QB Josh Rosen and 49ers QB Crispy Crisco. And with the New York Jets having taken QB Sam Darnold last year, it’s not until you get to #4 with the Oakland Raiders that QB talk could surface. Would that prompt a trade from the teams below? Perhaps Super Bowl Dakota Allen Jersey , though this QB class isn’t particularly strong.One interesting note? There’s not a single trade involving these 20 teams’ first-round picks. There are three trades for first-round picks, but they all involve playoff teams. The Chicago Bears sent their first-round pick (and plenty of others) to the Oakland Raiders for EDGE Khalil Mack, so the Raiders will have a second first-round pick this year. And a third. Oakland picked up the Dallas Cowboys’ first-rounder for WR Amari Cooper. The other trade will send the New Orleans Saints’ first-round pick to the Green Bay Packers as part of a deal the Saints made in the 2018 NFL Draft to move up in the first to take EDGE Marcus Davenport.The order for the remaining 12 draft picks will be determined by the playoffs and the usual factors (strength of schedule, record against division opponents and record against conference opponents). The four teams that lose in the wild card round this weekend will fill in the #21-24 spots. The four teams that lose in the divisional round will fill in #25-28. so the earliest pick the Rams could pick up would be the 25th. With the 29th and 30th picks going to the conference championship losers and the 31st going to the Super Bowl loser, here’s hoping the Rams pick 32nd when all is said and done.
