Los Angeles Rams: 7-Round 2019 mock draft after Super Bowl 53 loss

Round 3, Pick 1: Christian Miller, EDGE, Alabama

Prior to the trade deadline, the Rams made a big splash to get Dante Fowler Jr. from the Jacksonville Jaguars. The need for them was clear as they needed more presence in the pass rush off of the edge. Fowler had his ups and downs, but now LA needs to address that need in the draft and get a viable presence.

Christian Miller is one of the most fascinating prospects in the 2019 NFL Draft. The physical tools are all there for him to be a force off the edge in the pass rush. Yet, he was largely unproductive in the vaunted Alabama defense. That’s troubling, but with a late third-round pick, the Rams can take the gamble on the upside of a player that could develop into a stud.

Round 3, Pick 2: Chris Lindstrom, OG, Boston College

The Rams, in this simulation, are given a third-round compensatory pick and they choose to address the offensive line with that selection. If all goes well, they would love to retain Rodger Saffold at guard to help maintain an offensive line that was one of the best in the NFL for much of the season. However, he’s going to be highly coveted in free agency, so they may not ultimately be able to do that.

No matter what happens, however, the Rams could use quality depth and youth at guard and Chris Lindstrom provides both. Lindstrom projects as one of the best guard prospects in the 2019 class with terrific size and functional strength on the interior. He could start Day 1 or become the next-man-up depending on what happens with Saffold.

Round 4: Andy Isabella, WR, UMass

When healthy, the Rams receiving corps has several playmakers, but losing Cooper Kupp really put their offense in a tough spot as Josh Reynolds, though solid, couldn’t provide the same production. Subsequently, they look to add another weapon to the explosive offense with their first Day 3 pick.

Andy Isabella is lightning quick in his routes and with the ball in his hands. Despite a diminutive build and frame, he has an innate ability to beat defenders one-on-one and could be a modern game-breaker out of the slot. While McVay’s offense may not have a ton of work for him as is, he’s a weapon that could be a nice gadget piece and make the Los Angeles offense even more impressive.
