Rams Trade Up to No. 197 to Draft Miami WR CJ Daniels
The pick targets contested-catch depth at receiver behind established starters.
Overview
- Los Angeles moved up 10 spots in a deal with Philadelphia to select Daniels with the 197th pick in the sixth round.
- Daniels brings strong hands and a physical style at the catch point, with 50 catches for 557 yards and seven touchdowns last season at Miami.
