The Los Angeles Rams 2024 NFL Draft

[shopson67]

One trade down in the 3rd, more focus on offense early:

19. Troy Fautanu, OT Washington
52. Michael Penix Jr., QB Washington
93. Austin Booker, EDGE Kansas

99. Maason Smith, DT LSU
130. Brenden Rice, WR USC

154. Tyrone Tracy Jr., RB Purdue
155. Elijah Jones, CB Boston College
196. Thomas Harper, S Notre Dame
209. Edefuan Ulofoshio, LB Washington
213. Jay Stanley, S Southern Miss
254. Fabien Lovett, DT Florida State

That mock is just as good as two mocks ago for you Shopson. Like your first couple of selections and also getting Rice and maybe taking Murphy over Penix.

 

[ANGELAKERAMS]

If the Rams brass are wanting to take a WR in the 1st, I hope they don’t trade up for Odunze.

I hope they wait and take Brian Thomas instead.

But, of course, we are all hoping the Rams avoid offensive skill players early.

Murphy was off the board at that point in that particular mock.

Odunze is the much better player IMO, but it would take a lot to move up for him. There's value later with guys like Burton and Rice.

Neither of those guys have Thomas’ size and speed.

Dude is 6’4” and runs a 4.33 40.

Rice is 6’2” and ran like a 4.6 40.

Burton is 6’ and ran a 4.45 40

Neither of those guys will cost you a first rounder either (and likely not a second). Bigger needs than a 3rd WR.

Burton would be rated higher if not for some personality red flags.

I agree there are bigger needs.

I was just stating that if they were set on taking a WR in the first, I’d rather they waited and took Thomas than to trade up for Odunze

I hope the Rams take this guy in the First and take Murphy in the Second Round. But, we have seen this before. Creed Humphreys and Quinn Meinerz are two recent examples.

[Retroram52]

Wow, UVA. That mock is another damn good one!!

 

[ANGELAKERAMS]

Don’t kill me, but I pulled a McVay. I made up for it with the rest of the picks though.

 

[Retroram52]

LOL! Not you dude. Pullin' a McVay??!! lol!

 

[Retroram52]

This Myles Cole dude is a beast. I hope we pick him in the mid rounds.

Murphy thinks he will be on par with AD. If we don't take Verse or an OT at 19, then Murphy may be on the Rams roster opening day but he will find out the difference between college and the Pros.

I have a tough time evaluating Murphy since he got to play next to Sweat. Will he be as good without Sweat taking on double teams?

Dude needs to be drug tested right now.

Better than AD? Dude, there is a reason there has never been an AD, and never will be again.

This trade is def gaining traction, especially with the trade of WR Diggs to Houston. If we do trade down with Buffalo, we will pick-up another Second Rounder and two Fourth Rounders. We will go from 19 to 28 and in doing so, we may miss out on Verse or Newton. But if we can get Murphy or even Fantanau at 28, this trade would really give us boost and we could fill some of our needs with some fabulous players.

Stefon Diggs trade ripple effects could pay off big for the LA Rams

The LA Rams suddenly find themselves in prime position to profit from the mistakes of others. The balance of power in the AFC has just suffered an earthquake t
