Football has returned to Los Angeles, and their first pick needs to be a difference maker.  Quarterback is a big question for the Rams, but let’s be honest, is Carson Wentz really day one material?

More buccaneers: Bucs get Ayers

If the answer is no, or maybe even, then the Rams have to go elsewhere for their top pick.  Tavon Austin is a dynamic threat, but he has no space to operate because defenses surround him with defenders.

Laquon Treadwell demands coverage, and is big enough to handle it, while being fast enough to keep defenses from collapsing on every route he runs.

Most importantly, Treadwell can start opposite of Austin from day one, and give the Rams’ quarterback two viable targets to work with.
