The LA Rams draft class of 2017, the first draft for head coach Sean McVay, was a rather curious one. NFL Draft analysts mocked the Rams all over the place, and after the fact, the draft grades came in all over the place. That was another fine example that the LA Rams could indeed draft impact players despite no first-round draft pick. They’ve had to exercise that ability each year since.
The clear path of that draft class was ensuring that the Rams offense had weapons. By the end of round four, the Rams had three shiny new offensive weapons, including wide receiver Cooper Kupp, tight end Gerald Everett, and wide receiver Josh Reynolds.
