The Los Angeles Rams are blessed to have one of the top-5 receivers in the NFL and if Puka Nacua’s career goes like others who have started as hot as him, then he will be great for at least another five years. And frankly with how the modern NFL is constructed, Nacua is more than enough for the Rams to build a championship offense around.
You can always go get another starting receiver.
The last two Rams hits at the position were Cooper Kupp, a third rounder, and Nacua, a fifth rounder. Since Sean McVay became the head coach in 2017, the Rams have added:
- Kupp
- Robert Woods (free agent)
- Sammy Watkins (trade)
- Brandin Cooks (trade)
- Josh Reynolds (fourth round)
- Odell Beckham Jr (mid-season signing)
- Puka
- Demarcus Robinson (low-tier free agent)
- Jordan Whittington (sixth round)
Even counting second round whiffs like Van Jefferson and Tutu Atwell, or a free agent bust like Allen Robinson, the Rams have found it MUCH easier to add to their receiver room than their attempts to replace Todd Gurley at running back or Tyler Higbee at tight end.
