EARTH CITY, Mo. -- The NFL draft is set to begin April 30 and the St. Louis Rams hold six picks in this year's selection process. For the next week and a half, we'll take a look at a different position every day with what the Rams have in place at a position, what they need, when they might address it and some possible fits.

We continue the countdown with a look at this year's crop of cornerbacks.

In place: Janoris Jenkins, Trumaine Johnson, E.J. Gaines, Lamarcus Joyner, Brandon McGee, Marcus Roberson.

What's needed: Much like the defensive line, a simple glance at what the Rams have in place here might tell you they're all set at the position. And one could argue that for 2015, they are. It's what happens beyond this season that makes this a position of intrigue for the Rams in this year's draft. Jenkins and Johnson are scheduled to become unrestricted free agents after the season, which means if the Rams didn't bring back one or both, they could have a pressing need for an outside corner. Gaines will compete for a starting job on the outside, likely with Johnson, and Joyner should get every opportunity to win the nickel job. Jenkins is all but certain to start on the other side. McGee remains something of a mystery but Roberson flashed potential in 2014 and could be a sleeper to develop into a long-term option as well. With so many pending free agents in 2016, it seems the Rams might not have space to keep both Jenkins and Johnson with Jenkins the better bet to stick around depending on the price. There's also the theory that you can never have too many corners but if the Rams add one, it needs to be one who is better suited to the outside.

Possible fits: This appears to be a pretty solid class at cornerback though there doesn't appear to be one surefire top 10 player. Michigan State's Trae Waynes has received interest from the Rams and possesses good length, straight line speed and a physical approach. His change of direction isn't the greatest, though, and that could keep him from going in the top 10. Washington's Marcus Peters might be the best pure cornerback in the draft but he comes with a lot of red flags off the field. From there, players like Florida State's Ronald Darby and P.J. Williams, Wake Forest's Kevin Johnson, LSU's Jalen Collins, Connecticut's Byron Jones and Utah's Eric Rowe all will garner plenty of interest from around the league.

Verdict: In terms of the top corners, the only real known interest has been in Waynes. That doesn't mean the Rams don't have their eyes on other corners but it stands to reason that if they're going to address the position, they'd want to do it with someone who is the best corner in the draft. Still, the 10th pick might be a little too rich for Waynes though it can't entirely be ruled out that the Rams would go in that direction. If they traded down a bit first, perhaps Waynes would be more of a consideration or maybe they slightly surprise and do it at 10. Either way, the guess here is that the Rams will pass on corners with their premium picks, look to re-sign Jenkins and potentially add a body late in the draft or sign a few undrafted rookies.
