The LA Rams have plenty of needs heading into the 2020 NFL Draft. While some preach the team to focus on needs, that strategy can prove to be disastrous on draft day for several reasons. Limiting the positions considered in any NFL draft forces a team to reach for the players who may not truly deserve selection when the Rams’ pick arrives. Secondly, other teams can easily outflank the Rams by trading for the pick just ahead of the Rams selection to ensure that they, and not the Rams, land their coveted prospect.
That is not to say that the Rams should avoid trying to land prospects where the team needs depth.
