As is the case with any team with quarterback issues, they can address it in the NFL Draft. The 2021 draft class is rather deep with signal callers, but the Rams won’t have the luxury of selecting one in the first round. Why’s that? Well, the Rams traded their 2020 and 2021 first-round selections to the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for cornerback Jalen Ramsey. While they’ll miss out on players like Justin Fields, Trey Lance and Zack Wilson, the Rams could end up with a stud with their second-round selection. Of course, we’re talking about Florida’s Kyle Trask.

Trask is coming off a historic season by Florida standards in his senior year. In 12 games, Trask completed 69.7-percent of his passes for 4,125 yards, 43 touchdowns and five interceptions. In fact, his passing yards and passing touchdowns are the most recorded by any quarterback in school history. As a result, Trask was named a finalist for the 2020 Heisman Trophy, where he actually has better statistics than Clemson’s Trevor Lawrence and Alabama’s Mac Jones.

As mentioned earlier, the Rams aren’t in position to select one of the top five quarterbacks in the class. Shockingly, Trask isn’t considered by many draft analysts as a first-round talent. That would work in Los Angeles’ favor, and allow McVay to have a solid contingency plan in case Goff doesn’t turn things around next year.
