After releasing Todd Gurley earlier this offseason, the Los Angeles Rams replaced him on the roster by selecting running back Cam Akers with the No. 52 overall pick in the 2020 NFL draft.
It was the team's first pick of the draft after trading its first-round pick for cornerback Jalen Ramsey.
This urgency should tell you a lot about the Rams' mindset regarding both Akers and the rest of the running backs on the roster.
Even after moving on from Gurley, Los Angeles seemingly could've gotten by with Malcolm Brown and Darrell Henderson.
