If you get up in top 10 are you trading up to draft Dallas Turner?

Did you mean Trey Lance?

They dont have the edge trading draft picks like before but they can still sign free agents and make trades for other position types.

Yeah, a year or so ago wasn't there a report 'suggesting' because of their savvy trading practices the Rams are asked for more draft capital from other teams? I don't know if that's true but overpaying via draft picks is just as bad as overpaying with salary. The one way around that is shrewd drafting. And they've been pretty good at it the last 2 years. They could transform from f*** them picks to the more the merrier.

2024 NFL Mock Draft Roundup: What do Rams projections look like post-combine?

Mar 05, 2024 at 11:14 AM

Stu Jackson
Senior Staff Writer

With the annual NFL Scouting Combine a wrap, it's another chance for a timely look at experts' latest draft projections for the Rams.

Here's a look at some of those forecasts as of Tuesday, March 5. All projections are for the Rams' first-round pick (19th overall) unless noted otherwise.

The Athletic (subscription required to read)
Date: March 5

Expert: Dane Brugler, NFL Draft Analyst

The pick(s): Florida State EDGE Jared Verse (pictured above)

Notes: A name that has come up in previous mock drafts for the Rams, the 6-foot-4, 254-pound Verse posted nine sacks, 41 total tackles, 11 QB hits, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery and one blocked kick for the Seminoles in 11 games played last season.

NFL.com
Date: March 4

Expert: Lance Zierlein, Draft Analyst

The pick(s): Oklahoma OT Tyler Guyton (23rd overall, via projected trade with Texans)

Notes:In this projected trade back with the Texans, Zierlein has the Rams address their offensive line by getting 6-8, 322 Guyton, who primarily played right tackle for the Sooners but also has experience at left tackle. Guyton was an honorable mention All-Big 12 honoree for his performance in 10 games played, with nine starts at right tackle, last season.

"While the Rams have a variety of spots to fill, they also have the projected cap space to attack free agency," Zierlein writes. "The chance to upgrade the left tackle spot in the draft is too good to pass up."

Pro Football Focus
Date: March 4

Expert: Gordan Guinness, NFL Analyst

The pick(s): Oregon QB Bo Nix

Notes: In this instance, PFF predicts the Rams to plan for the future.

"I ultimately think Nix — or whoever the fourth quarterback in this class winds up being — comes off the board earlier than this, but the fit here makes so much sense to me," Guiness wrote as part of his analysis.

Nix departed the Ducks as their all-time leader in completion percentage at 74.9 (658-of-879), while also breaking Oregon's single-season records for completions (364), passing yards (4,508) and passing TDs (45) in 2023. He also set the new NCAA single-season record for completion percentage last season at 77.45 (364-of-470).

USA TODAY
Date: March 4

Expert: Nate Davis, NFL Reporter

The pick(s): UCLA DE Laiatu Latu

Notes: Latu has been a popular projection for the Rams throughout the offseason. Last year's Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year, he led the FBS with 1.8 tackles per game en route to winning the Lombardi Award and Ted Hendricks Award (nation's top collegiate defensive end).

Los Angeles Times
Date: March 4

Expert: Sam Farmer, NFL Reporter

The pick(s): Oregon C Jackson Powers-Johnson

Notes: Another common name amongst Rams projections, Powers-Johnson (6-3, 334) played four of the five offensive line positions in his three season at Oregon. In 2023, he didn't allow a sack and gave up only one pressure across 471 pass-blocking snaps in 2023, according to Pro Football Focus, en route to unanimous All-American recognition and the Rimington Trophy (nation's best center).

I'll take Brugler, Zierlein or Farmer for the win, Alex! Not in that order. Definitely would love Powers-Johnson or Guyton. Verse would help too. But they need to solidify the OL in a BIG way.

And I'll submit my #1 choice. Troy Fautanu, Washington. G or T.

The RAMs are in pretty good shape at 19,

they could trade down a few spots and pick up a possibly third rd pick.

then draft picks that should still be available,

My liking in this order:

C/G: JPJ

CB: Kool Aid.

WR: McConkey

Then sign FA:
Edge Rusher: Danielle Hunter

If JPJ is not there by the time we pick,
then the RAMs should sign C/Shelton,
and a backup center in the later rds.

But if JPJ is there at 19 or three spots down in a trade down,
I say get him.

With a starting lineup with AJ, Avila, JPJ, Dotson, RHav,
That would be a massive OL!!!
To protect Stafford and to open up holes for Williams in the run game !!!

After watching his highlights I TOTALLY agree. He’s a little light and does he block are my only concerns. Well, might be limited as a slot. But MCV doesn’t really subscribe to that with his WRs and his shifts/motions to uncover and get free releases for his guys. He would be an instant up grade at WR4 for Tutu and probably supplant DRob at #3 at some point. He’s not tall but my Lord, his open field moves and change of direction skills are insane. Great hands it looked like as well.

Draft him, trade Tutu to the Chiefs.
