Patrick helped lead Auburn to an 11-0 record as a sophomore that season. Snead could go from watching one Nix make a mark on a team he was associated with early in his career to another Nix trying to make a mark on his team years later."

The Rams, who haven't picked in the first round since 2016, are calling to get into the top 10, per sources.

Count ESPN’s Mel Kiper as the latest to put a log on the flame, writing in his final mock draft and rumor mill article that the Rams do have interest in picking Nix in the first round.

“ I’m not sure anyone really knows what GM Les Snead will do; the Rams haven’t picked in Round 1 since 2016. But I do know they at least have some interest in Nix, and it wouldn’t be totally shocking if they picked him at No. 19 — or moved down a few spots to take him. I also see defensive tackle, cornerback and offensive line as possibilities, so it’s not like the Rams are loaded with depth in other positions.”

Albert Breer casually mentioned that Nix to the Rams could happen on a recent podcast appearance, while Adam Schefter recently noted that Les Snead has a connection with Bo’s dad that goes back 30 years to Auburn.
