Mocks Diverge on Rams’ No. 13 Pick as Monroe Freeling Leads Several Projections

Analysts weigh short-term help for Matthew Stafford against early succession planning.

Overview

  • Late March mock drafts point the Rams at No. 13 toward Georgia tackle Monroe Freeling in several projections.
  • ESPN’s Field Yates pairs Freeling at No. 13 with Louisville receiver Chris Bell at No. 61, noting Bell’s November ACL tear could slow his early impact.
  • A PFF simulator run reported by ClutchPoints also lands Freeling at No. 13 and sprinkles in late developmental picks, including Kansas quarterback Jalon Daniels.
  • A newer post–free agency mock from The Draft Network, highlighted by Yahoo Sports, sends USC’s Makai Lemon at No. 13 and LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier at No. 93.
  • The Rams, who hold No. 13 and have few glaring needs after defensive additions, are balancing protection for their MVP quarterback with receiver depth or a future passer ahead of the April 23–25 draft in Pittsburgh.
