Every year there are a few teams who are seemingly easy to peg when they’re on the clock in the first round. The Los Angeles Rams are one of those teams this year because Nick Foles and Case Keenum aren’t the answer at quarterback.

Taking The 6-7 Memphis product who had 3,778 yards and 28 touchdowns to only four interceptions in his final year with the Tigers give head coach Jeff Fisher a potential franchise quarterback to build around in their new city. It may be best for Lynch to sit for the first half of the season, to see what Foles/Keenum can do, but I’d just assume throw Lynch out there and let him hand it off to Todd Gurley 20-25 times a game and learn on the fly.
