This is the third of four in The Star’s series of NFL first-round draft projections. Here are the first and second mock drafts. The Star will also release a day-of mock on April 28.
A quick disclaimer: Each mock is based on individual film work, research and recent transactions.
1. Los Angeles Rams: QB Carson Wentz, North Dakota State
The Rams didn’t surrender a bounty of picks to come away with anything but a quarterback. Many are speculating they’ll go with Jared Goff, and that might end up being the case, but Wentz throws a pretty ball and has plus athleticism and intangibles, so he’s the pick — for now.
