Los Angeles Rams: Players worth trading up for in the 2019 NFL Draft
By Jason Reed
1. Jonah Williams, OL
All signs are pointing to the Los Angeles Rams going with defense in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft. The team has glaring holes at both outside and inside linebacker and potentially will have to replace Ndamukong Suh at defensive tackle as well as Lamarcus Joyner at safety.
If the Los Angeles Rams were to shock anyone and go with offense then the only position that would be justified is the offensive line, with the only first-round-worthy offensive lineman coming in the early portions of the first-round.
Jonah Williams is a tank out of Alabama and is probably going to go anywhere from 10th to 15th in the draft, depending on who is selected ahead of him. Depending on how highly NFL teams are scouting him, Williams easily could go somewhere like New York at the sixth overall pick.
Williams has the size and can be a productive offensive tackle in the league but might get the best production if he makes the transition to guard. Either way, he is a big-bodied offensive lineman and is going to prove to be one of the best coming out of this year’s draft.
This would be a big addition for a Los Angeles Rams line that is already taking hits and is old in age.
