Each team has its own big board for the draft, and all 32 of them are most certainly complete by now. The Los Angeles Rams will grade players on a different scale than other teams, based on A) how they view a prospect overall and B) their fit within the organization.
Heading into the first round tonight, we've put together our own big board of the top 25 players for the Rams. They won't get a shot to draft all of these prospects, and at least half of them could be gone by the time they go on the clock. But in the grand scheme of things, this is how we would view the 25 best players for the Rams in Round 1.
If they were to come away with anyone in the top 10, they should feel good about how the first round went. If they get wiped out at No. 13, they could decide to trade back and target someone lower on the big board.
In the event that Les Snead wants to get aggressive, he could trade up for someone near the top of this list.
LB/EDGE Arvell Reese, Ohio State: Dynamic defender who can do everything up front.
WR Carnell Tate, Ohio State: Top receiver in the class, bringing a well-rounded skill set.
LB Sonny Styles, Ohio State: Incredibly explosive linebacker who would upgrade the defense immediately.
RB Jeremiyah Love, Notre Dame: Home-run hitting running back with high-end rushing and receiving skills.
S Caleb Downs, Ohio State: Intelligent safety who can play deep, in the slot or in the box.
WR Jordyn Tyson, Arizona State: Injury-plagued receiver with legitimate No. 1 potential in any offense.
OT Francis Mauigoa, Miami (FL): An immediate upgrade at swing tackle and a future starter on either side.
CB Mansoor Delane, LSU: Top cornerback in the class, Delane is sticky in man coverage and reads plays perfectly in zone.
EDGE David Bailey, Texas Tech: Well-rounded edge rusher who has double-digit-sack potential right away.
EDGE Rueben Bain Jr., Miami (FL): Powerful outside linebacker with short arms but a strong first punch.
TE Kenyon Sadiq, Oregon: Rare athlete who can make plays as a tight end or receiver.
OT Spencer Fano, Utah: Quality offensive tackle who can play either side and add valuable depth.
WR Makai Lemon, USC: Electric slot receiver who makes plays after the catch and breaks tackles.
OG Olaivavega Ioane, Penn State: Unanimous top guard in the class with perennial Pro Bowl potential.
WR KC Concepcion, Texas A&M: Speedy wideout with exciting ball-carrier skills in the open field.
WR Omar Cooper Jr., Indiana: Tough, physical receiver who blocks and makes plays above the rim.
