1. Garrett Bradbury

The Rams are heading into next season with Joe Noteboom, Austin Blythe and Brian Allen as their starters at guard and center. Clearly, that group could use a little more talent. Adding Bradbury to the mix would give the Rams protection at multiple positions on the inside.

Bradbury is one of the most difficult players in this draft to peg in terms of draft positioning. He’s got a lot of fans in the NFL and he could certainly go earlier than this. It only takes one team to fall in love with him as an instant starter.

On the other hand, he’s not a dominant player on the inside. Bradbury is an excellent technician, but he’s not a guy who will create at on of push. He’s more of a cerebral center who can quarterback your offensive line rather than a mauler who will drive the run game forward.

Next. McVay already believes Goff is 'the man'. dark

That sort of technician fits perfectly into what Los Angeles needs on the interior. If Bradbury is still on the board at No. 31 they should jump at the chance to take him. He’d be a great boost right in front of Goff.
