Most NFL Mock Drafts go like this: “See depth chart, make pick” and there really isn’t any analysis outside of that. So the fallout of Aaron Donald’s retirement hasn’t been at all surprising in mock drafts, the assumption is that the L.A. Rams will simply draft a player who plays the same position or similar to him.
Maybe that’s what they will do, but never make assumptions of Les Snead. He will often do the opposite.
These four prospects I’m seeing all the time for the Rams in mock drafts:
DT Byron Murphy, Texas
A side called NFL Draft Plex has the Rams picking Murphy, which is probably the most common Rams connection in the draft right now.
