The Los Angeles Rams held the #36 overall selection in last month’s NFL Draft—their highest selection since picking Jared Goff first overall in 2016. Los Angeles chose TCU’s Steve Avila, an interior offensive lineman with center/guard flexibility.
But with organized team activities (OTA’s) underway and with training camp on the horizon, the Rams seem to have a surplus of starting-level players on the offensive line. LA’s defense is devoid of star talent outside of Aaron Donald and the offense is in desperate need for play makers.
Did the Rams truly maximize their value by taking a guard with their highest pick in the last six to seven years?
