2023 Fantasy Outlook
The second-round pick out of TCU was a beast for the Horned Frogs, with size (6-foot-4, 332 pounds), athleticism, and quickness that allows for him to play multiple roles on the offensive line. Avila will likely slot in at left guard for his rookie campaign, and should help reinforce a Rams' offensive line that suffered from a host of injuries in 2022. Read Past Outlooks
Headed to Los Angeles
The Rams selected Avila in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 36th overall.
ANALYSIS
Avila (6-foot-4, 332 pounds) can line up anywhere in a pinch, but at the NFL level his ideal fit is likely at guard or center. Avila projects as a potentially dominant force at either position, boasting major density at no cost to his athleticism, as his 5.21-second 40-yard dash and 29.5-inch vertical are strong figures even for a player much lighter than himself. Avila was arguably the main reason why in 2022 TCU was able to neutralize former Michigan standout defensive tackle Mazi Smith, who Dallas selected in the first round of the 2023 draft.

Nearly 18 months removed from winning Super Bowl LVI, the Rams now find themselves in no-man's land. Still, with cornerstones in place like WR Cooper Kupp and DT Aaron Donald, they could be plucky at times.
