At the end of the 2019 season, the LA Rams‘ hopes lay upon the good fortunes of free agency, and the ability to restructure crippling player contracts to enable the team to sign talented veterans. Just three months later, the Rams oft-besieged front office has realigned the team’s roster to the deep talent pool of the 2020 NFL Draft.
With the release of running back Todd Gurley, the trade of wide receiver Brandin Cooks, the retirement of safety Eric Weddle, and waiving the contract option of Nickell Roby-Coleman, the LA Rams virtually overnight placed the roster in need of the positions that are plentiful in the 2020 NFL Draft – running back, wide receiver, and defensive back.
