As recently as December, Mizzou receiver Luther Burden seemed to be a surefire top 15 selection in this spring’s NFL Draft. His stock has plummeted of late, and now it’s starting to seem as though he could be available deep into the first round.
The Los Angeles Rams stand to benefit should Burden fall. While the team still has Puka Nacua and Tutu Atwell and added another starter through free agency in Davante Adams, more can be done to future-proof the receiver position. Adams is effectively on a one-year deal and Atwell will hit the open market in 2026.
