Los Angeles Rams: Way too early 2018 NFL mock draft
By Jason Reed
The Los Angeles Rams are coming off of a very promising season that consisted of their first playoff berth since 2004. Now, the NFL Draft is the next concern.
It is safe to say that the Los Angeles Rams surprised everyone in the 2017-2018 NFL season. Following a 4-12 season and a head coaching change, the Rams ceiling seemed to be somewhere around .500. Before the year, we predicted that the Rams would go 7-9; that was generous at the time.
So many question marks surrounded the Rams before the season. New coach Sean McVay was the youngest in NFL history. He was working with a second-year quarterback that was deemed a slump, a star running back coming off of a huge sophomore slump and an All-Pro defensive tackle that couldn’t even sign an extension with the team that drafted him.
However, McVay and the rest of his coaching staff turned the culture of the Rams around and produced an 11-5 team in the process. Los Angeles’ offense was the most entertaining in the league to watch and Jared Goff proved that he may be a part of the future elite quarterbacks club.
However, their inexperience was ultimately their Achilles’ Heel and the Rams fell to the Falcons, 26-13, in the Wild Card round.
Now, with certain players set to hit free agency and some needs on the team existing from last season, the NFL Draft is the next step for the Rams. Los Angeles needs to draft well to cushion the potential losses of the offseason. Thus, here is full 2018 NFL mock draft for the Los Angeles Rams.
