Its been nearly two months since my first mock, and a lot has happened since my initial projections. The Rams retained Leonard Floyd and Darious Williams, but lost several FAs. Thought there is still some uncertainty at the center position, I feel like its time for an update.

Round 2(57): Assante Samuel, Jr., DB, Florida State
(Previous selection: Creed Humphrey, C, Oklahoma)
I think Creed Humphrey (and my second choice at center, Josh Myers) will be gone by this point. While I do think that Quinn Meinerz, C/OG, Wisconsin-Whitewater is a possibility here (particularly if Blythe is not retained), with the departure of Troy Hill and John Johnson, I think the first priority is to bolster the defensive backfield. If Samuel is still there, I think he has the skill set for the nickel/slot role that the Rams will need to fill. He also gives the Rams needed depth in the future if Darious Williams becomes too expensive to lock down long term:
Player I might prefer, but think will be gone: Aaron Robinson, CB, UCF
Alternate choice: Elijah Molden, CB, Washington

Round 3(88): Victor Dimujeke, EDGE, Duke
(Previous selection: same)
Retaining Leonard Floyd arguably makes EDGE less of a priority, but I still think the Rams will want to add another pass rusher after losing Samson Ebukam and Morgan Fox in free agency (and given Terrell Lewis’ questionable durability).
Dimujeke had 16 sacks over the past two seasons, and has the size (270 lbs) to line up at DE or OLB.
Alternate choice: Chaunsey Golston, DE, Iowa

Round 3(COMP): Walker Little, OT, Stanford
(Previous selection: Dyami Brown, WR, North Carolina)
I think the Rams address the offensive line here, and take a player who might be a future replacement for Andrew Whitworth. There is an obvious connection here, as the Rams’ new OL coach, Kevin Carberry coached Little at Stanford. Little opted out of the 2020 season, so I don’t expect him to start right away, but he could be a long-term value pick.
Alternate choice: Liam Eichenberg, OT, Notre Dame

Round 4(COMP): Demetric Felton, WR/RB/KR, UCLA
(Previous selection: Rodarius Williams, CB, Oklahoma State)
In a recent interview, Les Snead responded to a question about speed WR as a need by indicating that the Rams want to add guys, regardless of the position. That could have been a description of Felton, who lined up at RB, WR and returned kicks for the Bruins.
Alternate choice: Anthony Schwartz, WR, Auburn

Round 6(183): Reed Blankenship, S, Middle Tennessee
(Previous choice: same)
Showed some promise, and some durability issues in college. If he can stay healthy, could be a value choice here. With John Johnson gone, depth at this spot is need.

Round 7(215): Spencer Brown, RB, UAB
(Previous choice: same)
Big back (235) who can catch the ball and does well in pass protection. A replacement for Malcolm Brown.

You should try those mock draft simulators. See how you do. As you know, they change up from draft to draft.

I went on to one, and this one only let's you do trade downs. This is what I got, from this site, https://www.profootballnetwork.com/mockdraft/

Make sure to click on 7, LA Rams logo, and then start draft by the way.

Love your top 4 picks - especially Felton. DJax is a stopgap placeholder. This kid is a swiss army knife football player. McSnead love those kinda guys.

What is sad, Walker Little never got to 57. Same with Creed Humphrey, the ILBs. I liked the trade downs

Here's one I did today. Took two trade downs, both in the 2nd round.

64. Josh Myers OC Ohio State
88. Patrick Jones EDGE Pittsburgh
95.Davis Mills QB Stanford
103. Chazz Surratt LB North Carolina
209. Simi Fehoko WR Stanford
211. Ben Mason RB Michigan
252. Syrus Tuitele OT Fresno State

That freaking thing is a lot of fun. I set it one fast and take my time making the picks. Why Mills in the 3rd? Because after a preseason, he'll gain the Rams a 2nd or even 1st round pick in a trade after 2021.
