The Los Angeles Rams have picked linebacker Ernest Jones out of South Carolina with the 103rd overall selection of the 2021 NFL Draft. The pick was a compensatory selection gained from losing Dante Fowler in free agency last year.
Jones is 6’1, 230 lbs, with 33 3/8” arms, and his NFL comp at NFL.com is Rams linebacker Micah Kiser. More from Lance Zierlein:
Two-down linebackers with limited speed and below-average athleticism aren’t exactly in vogue these days, but Jones has the field IQ and interior toughness to warrant consideration.
