There’s a reason the Senior Bowl draws so much attention each year — it can single-handedly get players on a team’s radar.

The Los Angeles Rams scouts certainly made the most of their time in Mobile, Alabama. Of the eight draft picks, the Rams met six in Mobile.

The Rams kicked off their draft moving back in the second round, drafting tight end Gerald Everett. He was the first ever player out of South Alabama to get drafted.

In two seasons, he totaled over 1,200 yards and 12 touchdowns but it was the week of the Senior Bowl. He’s been brought in as a pass catch first and foremost, where he continued to impress against higher competition.

Following that week, most pundits expected a third round selection out of him. But the tight end, whose game is reminiscent of former Sean McVay tight end Jordan Reed, was too good to pass up on at No. 44 overall.

Following Everett’s selection, the Rams stuck to drafting small school prospects and grabbed Easter Washington receiver Cooper Kupp in the third round.

He was highly praised by his Senior Bowl quarterback Nate Peterman of Pittsburgh who described Kupp as having a “chip on his shoulder” to prove his worth out of a small school.

Kupp caught a lot of attention in Alabama with his speed. He may have run just a 4.62-second forty at the combine, but he was clocked at a hair under 21 mph at the Senior Bowl with wearable GPS technology.

Kupp was among the fastest players recorded in Mobile which helped earn him a private workout with the Rams.

Not only did he prove his athleticism but his overall playmaking ability. He was one of the top talents throughout the week of practice with PFF giving him a 4.5-point grade, the highest among offensive players.

Similarly, the Rams scouted fourth-round selection, receiver Josh Reynolds of Texas A&M but on the opposite sideline, partnering with Everett on the South team.

Reynolds has impressed scouts, hauling in 30 touchdowns in three seasons as a top red-zone target for the Aggies.

At the Senior Bowl, he had five receptions on five targets for 85 yards with a touchdown — leaving scouts impressed with his playmaking ability, scoring a 2.1 pass catching grade from PFF, among the highest marks.

Of course, Reynolds wasn’t the only player from a Power Five the Rams took. The previous round saw the team select John Johnson, a safety out of Boston College who had one of the biggest stock boosts following the Senior Bowl.

He was put through not only work as a safety but was also tested in cornerback drills, showing off much-valued versatility. Johnson showed continued growth through his week at the Senior Bowl.

He finished the 2016 season with five passes defended and two interceptions in the final five weeks of the season and proved that wasn’t a just a one-off hot streak.

The Rams became familiar with another defensive prospect, Tulane defensive tackle Tanzel Smart that same week. Smart is bound to be a rotational player for run-first situations.

Lastly, the Rams found one of the most unique players in the draft in Virginia Tech fullback Sam Rogers — one of the only at his position in the whole draft.

Fullbacks are a rare breed in the league today and the Rams are without one. He looks to be the player McVay had in Darrell Young in Washington.

At the Senior Bowl, Rogers left with the second-highest grade from Pro Football Focus among offensive players. The highest grade went to second-round receiver Zayn Jones. It may have been the game that helped Rogers be the first fullback off the boards.

If one thing can be taken from the Rams draft strategy, it was to target experienced talent no matter the school’s pedigree.

The Rams also took two outside linebackers that were not invited to the Senior Bowl but were indeed seniors: Eastern Washington’s Samson Ebukam (fourth round) and Pittsburgh’s Ejuan Price (seventh round).
