Rams miss out on Aaron Donald, land Mike Evans in 2014 NFL redraft

In a 2014 redraft scenario, the St. Louis Rams would have made a bold choice by selecting Mike Evans and a Pro Bowl left tackle instead of Aaron Donald. While Donald has established himself as a defensive powerhouse and a likely Hall of Famer, the Rams' hypothetical strategy suggests a prioritization of offensive weapons and protection for their quarterback.

Evans would bring exceptional receiving ability, exemplifying a strong red zone presence and deep threat capabilities, complementing the Rams' offensive playbook effectively. Additionally, the inclusion of a top-tier left tackle would enhance the team's offensive line significantly, offering the protection necessary for quarterback success. This redraft analysis highlights the complexities of drafting decisions and their long-term impacts on team dynamics and performance.

How might the Rams' drafting strategy evolve in the upcoming draft?What lessons can teams learn from the Rams' 2014 draft decisions?
