Cornerback remains a position the Los Angeles Rams could target in the draft this weekend, even after adding Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson. Sean McVay hinted at the Rams adding more cornerback depth in the draft when he said they're "always looking to add" to the secondary, and D'Angelo Ponds could be a Day 2 target for Los Angeles.
In an interview with SI's Justin Melo, Ponds confirmed the Rams flew out to Bloomington, Indiana, to meet with him before the draft. The Rams don't host prospects on top-30 visits like other teams, but they do sometimes travel to meet with players – and Ponds was one of those players.

"I believe I met with all 32 NFL teams in some capacity. I met with the Houston Texans, , , , , , and virtually, to name a few. My final Zoom was with the New Orleans Saints."
