Rams must make most of mid-to-late round picks to fill out star-studded roster

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Rams will be packed with star power in 2021, including quarterback Matthew Stafford, three-time Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald and All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey.

But whether the Rams appear in Super Bowl LVI at SoFi Stadium in February could depend on how well Rams general manager Les Snead supplements their top-tier talent with mid-to-late round selections in the upcoming NFL draft.

For a fifth consecutive year, the Rams will not make a first-round pick. Their 2021 first-round pick (along with a 2020 first-round pick and a 2021 fourth-round selection) was used as part of a package sent to the Jacksonville Jaguars to acquire Ramsey ahead of the 2019 trade deadline.
