In recent L.A. Rams draft lore, the decision to draft Tutu Atwell over an offensive lineman, specifically center Creed Humphrey, has served as a lightning rod for criticism of Les Snead’s laissez-faire attitude when it comes to restocking the roster with picks. I defended the Tutu Atwell pick because I have believed that wide receiver has been a much greater need for the Rams than most others accept.
We’re seeing that issue play out in 2022, as Cooper Kupp is the only viable weapon on the entire roster.
But others didn’t care that Atwell was a receiver, they just cared that Atwell is a “diminutive” receiver.
