Once they picked tight end Brycen Hopkins in the fourth round, the Los Angeles Rams didn’t have much of a shot at drafting Boise State defensive end Curtis Weaver. He was selected by the Miami Dolphins in the fifth round, 164th overall, after a three-year college career in which he set the single season sack record for the Mountain West Conference.
The Rams also attempted to claim new Browns DE Curtis Weaver off of waivers yesterday, per source.
Cleveland had higher priority, as both teams saw the opportunity to add a talented developmental prospect for their pass rush to develop in 2021 and beyond.
