Todd McShay shares intel on which WRs teams think Rams could target

Though the Los Angeles Rams haven’t outright said they’re going to target a wide receiver early in the draft, the general consensus is that they will. As great as Puka Nacua and Davante Adams are, they need a No. 3 receiver to pair with them – and a viable successor for when Adams either retires or leaves in free agency.

Makai Lemon has been linked to the Rams more than any other player in mock drafts but he’s not the only wideout Los Angeles could take in Round 1. According to Todd McShay, teams around the league also believe the Rams are eyeing Denzel Boston out of Washington.

Boston isn't a consensus first-round pick, which makes it fascinating that teams think the Rams could draft him. There’s no chance he’ll be available for them at No. 61 in the second round, but might he be a trade-back option for Los Angeles?

“The receivers are not as high, but there are some teams out there lurking that look at Tyson just like you look at Tyson, so don’t push back on this," McShay said. "You’ve told me all along that Jordyn Tyson’s the best receiver if you tell me he’s going to be healthy and play. If you’re the Chiefs, if you’re the – I don’t want to throw the Rams in there because some teams think the Rams are Lemon. Some teams think the Rams are Denzel Boston.”

Most experts have Carnell Tate, Lemon and Jordyn Tyson as the top three receivers, but after that, it’s fairly open. Boston could be WR4, as could KC Concepcion or Omar Cooper Jr. Even Chris Bell is someone who could go earlier than expected.

Whether in the first, second or third round, the Rams seem likely to take a wide receiver fairly early. It could just come down to which flavor they like.

Do they want a slot receiver who’s elusive with the ball like Lemon? Do they want more of an X-receiver in Tyson? Boston is big and physical like Puka Nacua, so maybe that’s the type of receiver they’re eyeing.

It won’t be long before we find out which playmaker will be the latest to join Matthew Stafford, Sean McVay and the Rams in L.A.
