Rams Add Cornerback Help in Latest NFL Mock Draft
The NFL season has officially ended, as the Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl. Now that the season is over, it’s time to really start looking ahead to the NFL Draft. In the first mock draft after the big game, Bleacher Report has the Los Angeles Rams taking Alabama cornerback Kool-Aid McKinstry.
“McKinstry is a long cornerback who has the versatility to play in both man and zone coverage,” Bleacher Report scout Cory Giddings said. “He uses his long arms well when in the press and working down the field.” “He has good speed to carry receivers downfield and does a very good job of sinking his hips while getting out of breaks. Consistently at or near the very top of the cornerback rankings throughout this cycle, the Rams should jump at an opportunity to draft the talented McKinstry.”
The young cornerback reminds a lot of scouts of Jalen Ramsey, as he is the same build as the former Ram. He is 6-1 and weighs 195 pounds, as he is a sizable corner who can be physical as well as keep up with fast receivers.
Whether the team decides to draft someone with their 19th overall pick, or sign someone in free agency, the secondary needs to be addressed before the beginning of next season. If the Rams were to make their first-round pick, McKinstry could be a very intriguing option.
