Rams Draft Keagan Trost for Offensive Line Depth

0:00On April 25th, the Los Angeles Rams wrapped up Day 2 of the draft by grabbing Missouri offensive tackle Keegan Trost, late in round 3. With all their starting spots locked in, the team shifted focus to building depth and snagging potential upgrades along the offensive line. This marks their earliest lineman pick since taking Steve Avela in round 2 last year. They needed a reliable backup for the swing tackle spot, especially after warm a clin in junior stepped into the starting roll. Sure, they brought back veteran David Quessonberry, but more versatile bodies were key to shore up the trenches. Fans and analysts are buzzing about Trost's fit, standing 6'5 and weighing 311 pounds. He started 42 games in college, bringing power, speed, and the smarts to handle past rushers right away. His ability to slide inside or outside gives the line real flexibility. New o-line coach, Ryan Window, should be thrilled as Trost can compete at multiple spots and climb to second level blocks on runs.
