But don’t you see how you contradict yourself, you’re saying that the Rams really don’t have a need at that position, yet they took him anyway. Certainly there were other players still on the board at positions they had a bigger need at.
Again, teams will often take the Best Player Available even if it’s not a need position.
The Rams have arguably the best DL in the NFL, yet they still used their 13th overall pick on Defensive Tackle Aaron Donald.
That’s not a contradiction, that’s what teams do. They often take the best player available, even in the 1st round.
The Patriots took a QB in the 2nd round even though they already have one of the best in Tom Brady.
And that’s assuming the team and scouts follow the BPA theory. Other teams draft for need or depth. So to say it was BPA is also guessing.
