Rams Eye Wide Receiver in Draft

0:00On April 22nd, the Los Angeles Rams kicked off their on-field offseason workouts this week, and star-wide receiver Puka Nakua was right there with the team after a stint in rehab last month. Coach Sean McVey called it great to see him back as a full participant. With their draft pick at number 13, thanks to a smart trade last year, the Rams are eyeing ways to beef up their receiving core long-term. Nakua was coming off a monster year with 129 catches for 1,715 yards and 10 touchdowns, putting him in. Line for the richest wide receiver deal in NFL history, assuming he stays on track, expect an extension soon. But uncertainty looms with Devonte Adams hitting 34 in December and in the final year of his contract. Fans and analysts see this as a pivotal moment for the Rams, who boasts the top three roster in real Super Bowl hopes. Pairing another explosive playmaker with Nakua and Adams could make their offense unstoppable for quarterback Matthew Stafford and McVey.

1:01Looking ahead to Thursday's first round, the Rams could snag Arizona State's Jordan Tyson, a big vertical threat, or USC's Mackay Lemon, a versatile. Slot guy like Amon Ross-Aimbrown, General Manager List's need, confirmed wide receivers on the table at 13, though other spots are in play too. He said the draft sees shapes, though. Ship. If things fall right in those first 12 picks, Lemon might be the perfect local fit, especially with Sneeds fanatized to USC. Either way, the Rams are primes to keep their passing game dominant heading into next season.
