A final prediction of the first round for the Los Angeles Rams, which includes a significant move in the first round.

The Los Angeles Rams could go multiple ways in the draft, especially considering how the Dexter Lawrence II trade has now led to the New York Giants picking up the No. 10 overall. 

There are multiple teams that are likely to attempt to move up in the top 15 picks, one of which is the Minnesota Vikings. Considering the Vikings need offensive line help and could be worried about not landing one of the top prospects, they offer the Rams their third-round pick to leap up to No. 13 overall.

No. 18 - Jordyn Tyson, WR, Arizona State

Trading back is likely for the Rams due to how general manager Les Snead operates, and with the chance that USC's Makai Lemon could be gone by No. 13 overall. Should he go to the Giants at No. 10 overall, Snead makes the call to move down.

The Vikings look to secure Georgia's Monroe Freeling, surrendering their No. 82 overall to do so. The Rams secure a second third-round pick and have four in the top 100. 

They choose to ignore the injury history and take Arizona State's Jordyn Tyson. Tyson held a private workout to prove that he is plenty healthy, and most of the executives who attended were plenty impressed.

Tyson can learn under Davante Adams and Puka Nacua, while also learning under a top-rate offense under Sean McVay and Nathan Scheelhaase.

Considering how Adams and Nacua played the part of the deepfield threats, Tyson would fit well as a slot receiver who can attack the middle of the field with plenty of yards after the catch opportunities. 

Tyson's speed and acceleration make him a nightmare matchup alongside Adams and Nacua, including the stalwart tight end group that the Rams possess.

With Adams presumably in the twilight years of his playing career, Tyson would be the perfect complement. He could also grow into a bigger role while lining up with two of the best in the NFL. 

The Rams may not need Tyson to become a superstar immediately, which could also give them pause with his injury history. Regardless, the Rams get one of the best prospects out of college, and stack more draft capital to address their other roster needs.

Los Angeles remains in a win-now type of structure, and they need to take a pass catcher. They do just that by bringing in Tyson without having to give up anything to land him.
