WATCH: Rams Coaches Celebrate Logan Bruss Pick At NFL Draft House
On Friday night, the Los Angeles Rams finally made their first pick of the 2022 NFL Drat, selecting offensive guard Logan Bruss out of Wisconsin with the No. 104 overall pick in the third round.
And for the Rams, it seemed especially exciting, with one of the members of the coaching staff, scout Brian Hill, going above and beyond in his celebration of the pick.
Bruss, who played four seasons at Wisconsin, was the highest-rated player on the Rams board at No. 104, prompting Hill to make good on his promise to jump in the pool if he was available.
Hill was also the lead scout on reigning Super Bowl MVP Cooper Kupp for the Rams.
Bruss played in 32 games with 25 starts for the Badgers, including 16 starts at right tackle and 6 at right guard.
He likely projects as a guard for the Rams.
Summary:
An intelligent and versatile lineman, Logan Bruss’s impressive movement skills and improving technique make him a promising prospect for zone-scheme offenses. That said, he exhibits a severely underwhelming power profile that will undoubtedly see NFL defenders work through him. If he can learn to properly compensate with technique and effort, Bruss may be viable in a gap scheme as well. He projects as an immediate backup with starting upside.
