We’ll probably never know what the Los Angeles Rams’ draft board looks like but there has to be one player at the top that they’d absolutely love to land. Could it be Sonny Styles? Carnell Tate? Jeremiyah Love?
USA TODAY’s Ayrton Ostly picked the perfect prospect for each team in the NFL and for the Rams, he believes that player is Love. That might not seem to make much sense considering they already have a perennial 1,000-yard rusher in Kyren Williams, who they just extended last summer, as well as Blake Corum, but Love is on another level as a running back.
He’s a Todd Gurley-type, someone who contributes not only as a runner, but also as a dynamic receiver out of the backfield. He can break off long touchdown runs, turn screens into 20-yard gains and gain the hard-earned yards between the tackles. You name it, he can do it.
Adding him to an offense that already features Puka Nacua, Davante Adams and Matthew Stafford would give off “Greatest Show on Turf” vibes, turning what was already the No. 1 offense into a complete juggernaut.
Ostly admits it’s not likely to happen, given Love’s ever-rising draft stock. But in the event that he falls outside the top five and closer to No. 10, the Rams would have to consider moving up. Running back is by no means a need but Love is an all-around playmaker, not just a running back.
Last season at Notre Dame, he rushed for 1,372 yards on 199 carries (6.9 YPC), caught 27 passes for 280 yards and scored 21 total touchdowns. He finished third in the Heisman race and was an All-American, improving his already impressive resume.
The Rams are as aggressive as anyone and after going all-in for Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson this offseason, a move of this nature shouldn’t be ruled out.
