UCLA Bruins cornerback Fabian Moreau suffered a pectoral injury during the bench press during his pro day today. Could he go to the Rams?

Earlier today, we wrote about why Los Angeles should seriously try to land fellow Pac-12 defensive back Sidney Jones — even after his ACL surgery. It’s incredibly unfortunate to learn that Moreau also had an injury during his Pro Day.

Moreau has reportedly previously spoken with the Rams and would stay in Los Angeles if selected by the team.

The nature of the injury is still a bit unclear. However, UCLA head coach Jim More did not believe it was serious.

He was projected as a high pick before today’s news. Luke Easterling from Draft Wire thought projected that Moreau would be a late pick in the second round in his most recent mock.

Matt Miller from Bleacher Report, meanwhile, thought he would be available in the third round. He had also called Moreau the “biggest riser” among all cornerbacks after the combine.

Optimum Scouting ranked Moreau in his Top 100 and thought he would be best utilized for a cover three defense.

The former running back and five-year senior was a team captain for UCLA, which means he fits the mold of the type of player that Sean McVay and the Rams have looked to add during the offseason.

He has excellent size and is built like an NFL safety. Moreau is also quick and can be a strong press cornerback. The scouting report from Optimum compared him to Robert Alford, who returned an 82-yard interception vs. Tom Brady for a touchdown in the Super Bowl.

During the combine, his 136″ broad jump was elite for his position. Given his size and athleticism, he also compares well to star cornerback Aqib Talib from the Denver Broncos — who has thrived under new Rams defensive coordinator Wade Phillips.
