Tyson to Rams in Mock Draft

0:00On March 23rd, NFL draft analyst Todd McShay just dropped his third mock draft for the offseason. In it, he has the Los Angeles Rams grabbing Arizona State wide receiver Jordan Tyson at the 13th overall pick. A popular choice lately for the Rams has been USC's McCuy Lemmon, but concerns Linger that his style mirrors their star Puka Nakua too closely. In this mock, Lemmon goes two spots earlier to the Miami Dolphins. Rams fans and experts see this as a smart move to pair Tyson with Nakua and new addition Devonte Adams. It gives quarterback Matthew Stafford another reliable target to stretch the field. Tyson stands out with his height, smooth route running and big gains and contested catches last season. While durability is a question, he's viewed as a top outside threat, much like a tolerance to fond digs, perfect for red zone work and resting Adams late in games. This pick had set up a long-term plan too, grooming Tyson as Adams's potential successor after next year.
