St. Louis Rams Mock Draft: Updated Day 3 Predictions

The first two days of the 2015 NFL draft were loaded with action. The St. Louis Rams added multiple talented prospects, and there's still Day 3 to look forward to. 

With the No. 10 overall pick in Round 1, the Rams grabbed stud running back Todd Gurley out of Georgia. Gurley gives St. Louis an elite offensive weapon and helps St. Louis with its desire to run the ball. 

To help Gurley out, the Rams used their next two picks on offensive linemen. St. Louis grabbed Wisconsin's Rob Havenstein in Round 2 and Louisville's Jamon Brown in the third round. 

However, that was hardly the end of St. Louis' offensive spending spree. With the team's second third-round selection, it added Oregon State quarterback Sean Mannion. 

So far, the draft has been dedicated entirely to offense. That's highly unusual for a Jeff Fisher team, but a necessary change of pace for a team that ranked 28th in yards per game last season (314.7). 

Expect Fisher and general manager Les Snead to switch things up in Day 3 and grab several defensive talents. 

This article will mock St. Louis' final four picks and predict how the remainder of the draft will play out. 

Round 4, No. 119: CB Ifo Ekpre-Olomu, Oregon

The St. Louis secondary has some talent, but the level of competition needs to improve. Adding another talented cornerback will accomplish that. 

Oregon's Ifo Ekpre-Olomu is one of the most talented corner of this class, but he's free-falling into Day 3. 

According to Chantel Jennings of ESPN.com, Ekpre-Olomu suffered a season-ending knee injury towards the end of last season. Since the injury occurred less than five months before the draft, Ekpre-Olomu has been unable to work out for teams and his draft stock has been tarnished. 

Without the injury, Ekpre-Olomu could have easily been a Day 2 selection. 

He's a bit of a gambler, similar to St. Louis' Janoris Jenkins, but he has excellent hips and fast feet. He's capable of hanging with speedy receivers in coverage. 

It'll take time before Ekpre-Olomu is on the field, but he's an immensely talented player. He's worth the modest fourth-round investment.  

Round 6, No. 201: G Arie Kouandjio, Alabama

The Rams added offensive linemen Havenstein and Brown on Day 2, but that doesn't mean the offensive line additions have to end. 

Havenstein and Brown are better suited as tackles. Brown is capable of moving inside, but it'd be beneficial for the Rams to add a true guard into the mix. 

Arie Kouandjio—brother of NFL player Cyrus Kouandjio—spent two years as a starter in the SEC. His experience in Alabama's elite program has him prepared for the spotlight. 

Kouandjio is great at paving the road and creating run lanes. He lacks elite athleticism and will struggle with top-notch pass-rushers, but his technique can be developed. 

At the very least, adding another body ensures that St. Louis will have plenty of offensive line competition in 2015. 

Round 6, No. 215: LB Ramik Wilson, Georgia

The Rams have very little depth at linebacker. 

James Laurinaitis, Akeem Ayers and Alec Ogletree are penciled in as the starters, but there's very little talent behind them. 

Ramik Wilson was a very productive tackler for Georgia. He finished with 243 total tackles over the last two seasons, including 18 tackles for loss. 

Wilson has an excellent nose for the ball-carrier. He's a willing tackler and capable of meeting opponents behind the line of scrimmage. 

Wilson is not much of a playmaker. He finished his Georgia career with zero interceptions and just two forced fumbles. Also, he's a liability in coverage. 

As a backup and special teams contributor, Wilson would make a nice addition. 

Round 7, No. 227: C Reese Dismukes, Auburn

This scenario has the Rams focusing on every offensive line position except for center. Unfortunately, center is an important position and must be addressed. 

Currently, it appears as though Tim Barnes and Barrett Jones will battle for the starting job. Barnes has experience as a starter in 2013 and was hardly a liability when he was in the lineup. Jones has no experience, but he's more physically gifted than Barnes. 

Neither option is very appealing, which is why St. Louis should add another player to the mix.

Reese Dismukes is not an elite athlete. He won't overpower NFL defenders as a run-blocker and need help in pass protection. However, he's a team leader and a hard worker, so that type of dedication could pay off. 

If Dismukes masters his technique, it's possible he'll someday be a contributor. 

At the very least, Dismukes will add to the competition and force Barnes and Jones to put forth their best efforts.
