Los Angeles Rams: Best-case prospects that could fall to pick 52
By Jason Reed
The Los Angeles Rams do not have a selection in the 2020 NFL Draft until pick 52 and better hope that some solid prospects fall farther than expected.
The Los Angeles Rams do not have a first-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft after trading it, a 2021 first and a 2020 fourth-round pick during the season to the Jacksonville Jaguars for Jalen Ramsey. As a result, 51 selections will be off the board before the Rams get a chance to select their first player.
Of course, the team could look to either move up or move down in the draft and it would not be surprising to see the team do so. It is more likely that the Rams move down, as they could secure more draft capital by doing so, especially if there are not any great fits worth spending the 52nd pick on.
There is not a lot of capital to move up in the draft, unless the team packaged the 52nd pick with more future picks to move up. They are already licking their wounds after trading away picks, so I doubt they do that.
The Rams can still find a solid prospect with the 52nd overall pick but the team is probably going to need someone to fall in the order to truly get a great fit. Luckily for the Rams, there are players every single year that fall lower than expected.
Here are the three best-case scenario prospects that could realistically fall to the 52nd overall pick.
