The Los Angeles Rams selected ten college prospects in the 2024 NFL draft.
with a first-round pick and came out with one of the best edge rushers, Jared Verse, their first first-round pick in eight years. Overall, the Rams made ten picks in the draft and will look to mostly all for a productive rookie year in 2024. The Rams entered the draft with 11 picks, tied for the most this season, and left with ten picks they felt confident about.
It was clear that defense was the Rams' focal point, especially after losing Aaron Donald to retirement in mid-March. The first two picks set the tone as they went with two players from Florida State, Verse, and defensive tackle Braden Fiske. Overall, the Rams selected five defensive players, including Kinchens from Miami at safety, Jackson at the edge from Washington State, and Davis, a defensive tackle from Clemson. The Donald hole is huge, and LA did its best to fill it as much as possible.
While the Rams' running game was as good as it's been in a while, they added Michigan's Blake Corum, among the best running backs in the class. Corum will be the backup RB to Kyren Williams, as the two have the potential to do damage side by side. Possibly the biggest addition for the Rams, which will go under the radar, is selecting Joshua Karty, a kicker from Stanford. The Rams missed an NFL-high 16 kicks in 2023, including six kicks between 40-49 yards and five extra points. The Brett Maher and Lucas Havrisik combination was the worst in the NFL. LA will now look to Karty for some stability.
