NFL Trade Rumors
Cardinals HC Jonathan Gannon said that the team had CB Will Johnson “graded very high” going into the second round and that the team had no issue selecting him.
“So when he was sitting there, I’m like, ‘Dude, am I missing something? Like, this is the best corner in the draft. Like, what are we talking about?’ And there was a group of players we liked, right when we were picking, and that was kind of a no-brainer, too,” Gannon said. “We’re like: ‘We think this guy’s a starting corner, and just the person is phenomenal.’ The intangibles. He’s very intelligent. And it really is a scheme fit for us, too, so it was like; ‘Dude, let’s take that guy.’ So when we picked him it was like; ‘Holy cow, man.’ I did not think he was going to be there.”
The Rams moved up in the draft to select DT Ty Hamilton, brother of Jaguars DT DaVon Hamilton. Both played at Ohio State and are now in the NFL together, with Ty Hamilton commenting on his experience of being drafted by Los Angeles.
“It was great,” Hamilton said, via RamsWire.com. “They said they love my tape and they’re excited to have me on the team. I’m just excited to be a Ram. It’s very exciting. For a team to be able to take a chance on you at all, it’s not guaranteed that anybody gets drafted here. For the Rams to be able to take the opportunity and draft me, I was just super excited and super blessed to be able to have the opportunity to be a Ram.”
