The Los Angeles Rams have selected defensive end John Franklin-Myers out of Stephen F. Austin with the 135th overall pick in the fourth round of the 2018 NFL Draft.

Franklin-Myers probably isn't Aaron Donald or Ndamukong Suh, but if he contributes in situational packages right away, the Rams will consider his rookie season a success.
