Los Angeles RamsNFL
The Los Angeles Rams aren't slated to pick until No. 61 on Friday night, the 29th selection in Round 2. They have a much longer wait than they had on Thursday night in the first, which means a lot of quality players will come off the board before they go on the clock.
That is, unless Les Snead gets aggressive and moves up.
He's never been afraid to do so on Day 2 and 3 of the draft, often trading late-round picks or future selections to get a guy he covets. Is there anyone still on the board who would fit that bill for the Rams GM?
Here are five prospects Los Angeles should consider trading up for.
WR Denzel Boston, Washington
The Rams passed on receivers in the first round but Boston is still a great option in the second. He's the best wideout left on the board, one of many who could get drafted before the Rams go on the clock – along with De'Zhaun Stribling, Chris Bell and Germie Bernard.
Boston is a big, physical receiver who's similar to Puka Nacua in some ways, but in a bigger frame. He'd make a good WR2 when Davante Adams eventually leaves, while also contributing right away as a solid No. 3 wideout.
CB Colton Hood, Tennessee
Hood is the type of cornerback who could excel in the Rams' system. Sean McVay said "if you're not tough, you won't play for us," and Hood certainly checks that box. He hits like a safety and runs like a corner, playing with an edge thanks to his aggressiveness and willingness to tackle.
