This will be my last mock (unless I get bored and change my mind haha) with the draft less than a week away. I definitely borrowed some from the mock @Corbin recently put out. This mock assumes that Forrest Lamp, Corey Davis, T.J. Watt, and David Njoku are gone by the time we pick.
Trade
Rams trade Round 3 Pick #5 and Round 4 Pick #5
Cowboys trade Round 2 Pick #28 and Round 4 Pick #28
We do a pick swap with the Cowboys to trade up to make sure we get our guy.

Explanation: As I've said a few times, if McVay wants Engram, I'm 100% with him. It seems like that might be the direction we're heading. What's nice is that grabbing Cooper Kupp and Engram allows us to take Engram along slowly while still having a WR who can make an immediate impact. Engram is the best type of tweener. He's athletic enough to be a WR but almost has the size and strength to be a TE. He'll be a really nice blocker at WR. Kupp will offer us a steady, reliable option in the passing game for the foreseeable future. I felt that a trade-up was worth it because I was not willing to miss out on Kupp. I'd take him over Engram if I felt it was necessary.
Howard Wilson was my pick at CB in the 4th. If Jourdan Lewis falls that far due to the DV arrest, I'd jump on him. If Rasul Douglas is still available, it would be a tough call between him and Wilson. I like both in our scheme. Both guys are playmakers with outstanding ball-skills who need a little polishing. Vanderdoes offers us a big body who can play either DE or NT in this scheme. He's one of the best run defenders in this draft and is a really nice fit at NT in Wade's scheme because of his ability to disrupt in the back-field.
Roullier, Holsey, and Price are all guys I've had in my mocks many times. Roullier is my favorite Center prospect in this draft (not counting the converts). I really like his size and power in our scheme. I love Holsey's athletic skill-set, competitiveness, and ball-skills. His athletic profile is quite similar to Chris Harris's coming out of Kansas. Price is an undersized but highly productive edge rusher. At 5'11" 240, he's strong as an ox and explosive off the snap.
Seaton is a new name in my mocks. I decided that I wanted to take a development OT with our last pick. There's not a ton out there on Seaton, but from what I've seen, he has some nice tools to develop. At 6'9" 327 with 34.25 inch arms, he definitely has the right dimensions.
