11. St. Louis Rams (5-8)- Laquon Treadwell, WR, Ole Miss
It has been great to watch Ole Miss’s Laquon Treadwell work his way back from last year’s horrific leg injury. He quickly re-established himself as an elite NFL prospect and top wide receiver in the draft. His combination of size, quickness and toughness will make him a sought after player.
Treadwell fits one of the major needs for the St. Louis Rams. This is an offense that lacks a go-to receiver capable of winning one-on-one matchups. They are a run-heavy team that uses unique play designs to get the ball in the hands of Tavon Austin.
Adding Treadwell to the mix would give them a bigger target capable of winning in contested situations. He came make plays on jump balls and especially in the red zone.
The Rams also have consider addressing the quarterback situation early in this draft. They are prime candidates to target California’s Jared Goff, Memphis’ Paxton Lynch or possibly Michigan State’s Connor Cook.
This is a franchise that also shouldn’t rule out making a trade to move up in the draft to get their No. 1 target. The quarterback situation in St. Louis has been a major issue for several years and the main reason they have been unable to make the playoffs.
