[AvengerRam]

For this mock, I’m going to break my “no trades” rule because I feel like a trade back is highly likely this year.

So… the Rams trade their first round pick (#26) and one of their third round picks (#90) to the Browns for their second round pick (#33) and third round pick (#67).

Round 2 (33): Shavon Revel, CB, East Carolina (Sr., 6’2, 194)
Revel is a first round talent who will likely drop because he is recovering from a torn ACL suffered in September. With the trade back, the Rams can afford to gamble a bit on his recovery (he should be fine by training camp) and take a player who can become the CB1 they currently lack.

Round 3 (67): Ozzy Trapilo, OT, Boston College (Sr., 6’8, 316)
This may not be a “sexy” choice but I believe it would be a smart one. In the short run, we need a third OT who, in the event of an injury, can come in and succeed in pass protection. That is where Trapilo is deemed “camera ready.” In the long run, he could succeed Rob Havenstein as a long-term starting RT.

Round 3 (101): Demetrius Knight, ILB, South Carolina (Sr., 6’2, 235)
The Rams need someone who can come in and immediately compete for a starting role at ILB. I think Knight is that guy. He reminds me of Kobe Turner… older guy, climbed ladder from smaller school to major conference, passionate, good leader. He’s also no slouch as an athlete, having run a 4.58 at the Combine.

Round 4 (126): Tory Horton, WR, Colorado State (Sr., 6’2, 196)
The Rams are looking pretty good for 2025 at WR, but they’ll need to look to the future. Davante Adams is, of course, an older player, and Tutu Atwell is only signed for a season. Horton has nice size and seems to be over the knee issues that plagued him last year (ran a 4.41 and had a 37.5” vertical at the Combine).

Round 6 (190): Cam Jackson, DT, Florida (Sr., 6’6, 328)
He’s a big, run-stopping NT who can give Poona Ford a breather and also help on 3rd/4th and short. Nice utility piece with some upside.

Round 6 (195): Donvan Edwards, RB, Michigan (Sr., 5’11, 205)
With Ronnie Rivers re-signed, I’m not sure that the Rams will feel the need to take a RB, but if they do, I still like the idea of reuniting Edwards with Blake Corum. If nothing else, he can be an insurance policy to provide depth in the event that the Rams ultimately decide not to re-sign Kyren Williams.

Round 6 (201): Hunter Wohler, S, Wisconsin (Sr., 6’2, 213)
Nice depth piece for the DB, and a potential special teams star. Nice speed (4.57) at his size. Think of a Nick Scott type role and trajectory.

Round 6 (202): Joshua Simon, TE, South Carolina (Sr., 6’4, 239)
I know that many Rams fans are hoping to see a TE much earlier, but I’m just not seeing the match (guy I really want gone by #26 or, if we wait, gone by third round). Simon is a guy with some good skills and upside. Worth a 6th round flyer.
