Overview
- Pro Football Focus’ Trevor Sikkema now projects LSU cornerback Mansoor Delane to Los Angeles at No. 13 and Indiana wideout Omar Cooper at No. 29 after the combine.
- An alternate PFF simulator run pairs Delane at No. 13 with Alabama tackle Kadyn Proctor at No. 29, highlighting Proctor’s rare explosiveness and potential to play tackle or guard.
- The Rams hold picks No. 13 and No. 29 after a previous trade with the Falcons, giving the McVay–Snead regime its first draft with two first-round selections.
- Delane is viewed as a strong schematic fit for Los Angeles, with reports of a formal meeting expected; he skipped combine drills and is slated to work at his pro day after posting eight career interceptions and 27 passes defended.
- Quarterback remains a consideration in some projections, with CBS floating Alabama’s Ty Simpson at No. 29 and a PFF simulation sending Vanderbilt’s Diego Pavia in Round 2 as uncertainty lingers behind Matthew Stafford and Jimmy Garoppolo is linked to Arizona.
