If only the Rams had been drafting Cooper Kupp’s for the last decade
The Los Angeles Rams - dating well back into their time in St. Louis - have had a rough go of selecting premium talent at wide receiver while on the clock during the NFL Draft.
Donny Avery. Keenan Burton. Brooks Foster. Mardy Gilyard. Austin Pettis. Greg Salas. Brian Quick. Chris Givens. Stedman Bailey. Tavon Austin. Bud Sasser. That’s the list of wideouts the Rams selected from 2008-2015. More recently, Pharoh Cooper has made a very big impact as a special team-er, but it remains to be seen whether that can translate into production in the offense. Looking back, it’s fair to say that over the course of the last decade the Rams have had more strike outs and singles than extra base hits.
