In the 2021 NFL draft, the Rams went yet another year without a first round pick. However, that has not stopped them from finding instant impact players in the mid-late rounds ever since the beginning of the McVay-Snead era. This draft was no different, as five of the nine players selected appeared in 10 or more games last season. All of which came in the 3rd round or later, rounds in which the Rams have seemingly stricken gold ever since the 2017 draft.
Those five rookies were Ernest Jones, Bobby Brown, Robert Rochell, Jake Funk, and Ben Skowronek.
