Why did LA Rams draft TE Brycen Hopkins with the 136th pick of the 2020 NFL Draft?

Despite perceived needs at other positions, the LA Rams drafted Purdue tight end, Brycen Hopkins, with the 136th pick of the 2020 NFL Draft. Of course, talent is always a welcome addition to the LA Rams roster. After all, Hopkins stands 6-foot-4 and weighs in at 245 pounds. That’s a great size and weight for an NFL tight end.

Beyond the great tight-end physique for the NFL, Hopkins certainly possesses a great deal of talent.
