The LA Rams might only have one obvious need entering the draft and we all know that it is at center. But so few rookies ever contribute in the NFL that it would be unfair to assume that the real team “needs” are those positions that look dire for the upcoming season, as opposed to the probable issues that a franchise could face in the following one, two, or three years after that.
Given one year of NFL development in camps and practices and sporadic playing time, a draftee now could turn into a starter down the line.
