Is Cam Akers what the Rams needed after the Gurley era?

After the LA Rams didn’t take part in the first day of the NFL draft (spent 2020 and 2021 first rounds in bringing cornerback Jalen Ramsey last season) they started their travesty in a bold manner.

The Rams had four picks on the second day (two in the 2nd round and two in the 3rd) and spent the first one on former Florida State Seminole running back Cam Akers.

Akers entered the collegiate level as a top-10 recruit, after being named Mr. Mississipi Football and U.S. Army National Player of the Year. Of course, he had the production to back up such lofty accolades.
