  1. Los Angeles Rams

Laquon Treadwell – WR – Ole Miss

The Rams, now officially the Los Angels Rams, need to find a quarterback as Nick Foles wasn’t what they thought he would be. They also could use some defensive line help as well and it wouldn’t hurt for them to add a cornerback as well. Instead they will go with wide-receiver where they simply don’t have a pure receiver on the roster.

Tavon Austin is versatile but has not become the threat they had hope for. The rest of the receivers are Kenny Britt, Brian Quick, and Nick Toon. They were so porous at receiver last year that they signed Wes Welker towards the end of the season.

Treadwell is a very good receiver and if he does in fact fall this far the Rams would be hard pressed not to take him. He would at least give the Rams another offensive weapon for whomever is the starting quarterback.
