Round 2, 52nd Overall: Carlos Basham Jr., EDGE, Wake Forest
Edge rusher stands out as one of the more obvious needs on the Rams roster. They simply need to find more talent at the position and hopefully a guy who can have a long-term impact. With their second-round selection, the fill that edge rusher need by bringing in Carlos Basham Jr. out of Wake Forest.
Basham is quick off of the ball and consistently gets good upfield burst. He is not the most athletically gifted player on the edge, but Basham has a nice combination of quickness and power that allows him to make plays against the run and as a pass rusher. The Los Angeles Rams find themselves a talented player at an important position of need with this pick.
Round 3, 84th Overall: Trey Adams, OT, Washington
The Rams offensive line has been an absolute nightmare this season. They have struggled to open up holes in the running game and protect quarterback Jared Goff all season long. The Rams have needs at both the interior offensive line and offensive tackle that must be addressed this offseason. With their third-round pick, address their need at offensive tackle by bringing in Trey Adams.
Adams is a rock-solid left tackle who excels as both a run blocker and a pass protector. He is extremely powerful at the point of attack and shows tremendous natural hand usage. Adams also shows good mobility for an offensive lineman, mirroring opposing edge rushers extremely well in pass protection.
The only real issue here is durability. Adams suffered a torn ACL in 2017 and missed most of 2018 with a back injury. He has stayed healthy this season, but the long-term durability concerns are legitimate, which is why he has slipped so far in this mock draft. Taking Adams would be a bit of a risky pick, but if it hits, the Los Angeles Rams will have found their franchise left tackle of the future.
Round 4, 116th Overall: Shane Lemieux, OG, Oregon
In the fourth round of this mock draft, the Los Angeles Rams go back to the offensive line, bringing in Oregon offensive guard Shane Lemieux. The selection of Adams helps the Rams fill their offensive tackle need and Lemieux undoubtedly helps them on the interior.
Lemieux is quick off of the ball and does a great job of reaching the second level in the run game. He is a relatively athletic player who also shows more than enough power on the inside. Lemieux is a rock-solid player who could come in and be an immediate contributor for the offensive line-needy Los Angeles Rams.
Round 6, 179th Overall: D.J. Wonnum, EDGE, South Carolina
Back to the defensive side of the ball here, as the Rams take a shot on some upside by bringing in South Carolina edge rusher D.J. Wonnum. Wonnum is a quick and high motor player who is always productive when he is on the field. Unfortunately, durability has been an issue and is a concern for the next level.
Round 7, 211th Overall: Chris Owens, IOL, Alabama
The Los Angeles Rams round out this mock draft with some more offensive line depth. Chris Owensis a big and powerful center who has grown as a player over the last year. He is quick off of the ball and extremely powerful at the point of attack.
Owens is a strong run blocker who can have success in both gap and zone schemes and is a dependable pass protector in the middle of the offensive line. Whether he ends up playing center or guard at the next level, Owens is a quality offensive lineman who could be a major steal this late.
