The Rams have done such a good job of drafting day three picks recently that even their failures could be another team’s wins. The Patriots signed Ochaun Mathis to the 53-man roster on Tuesday, 24 hours after trading Josh Uche to the Chiefs, and New England probably expects Mathis to be ready for a big role on the defense.
Like John Franklin-Myers before him, could Mathis become a valuable starter on another team despite not working out as a defensive lineman for the Rams?

The Rams picked Mathis in the sixth round of the 2023 draft, the 5th of FIVE players they selected in a range of 16 picks: Warren McClendon, Davis Allen, Puka Nacua, Tre Tomlinson, and then Mathis at 189.
