So he’s not bloodshot or glassy-eyed, and he’s paying attention? Wow.

This was an interesting podcast. This guy isn’t as crazy about some of the QBs as the media is.

They are dooming the Lions and Goff if May ends up in Minnesota.

Hey all,

Just doing a (4 round) mock here from an online simulator.

I channeled my inner Snead and moved back multiple times to get multiple picks.

Come at me Bros!

Here's a list of all our drafts. Might be a good thing to look at to see how much last year was an outlier.

1 starter and a bunch of good role players would be a good draft. 2 starters and any change would be fantastic.

Also, Rams did quite well when you factor in the lack of 1sts the last few years.

They didn’t show their hand or did they?

A must watch for Ram fans

I've been way busier at work than expected, but wanted to get one out this year. Don't really love trades in a mock, but saw some ideal opportunities with some of the latest draft rumors. Also, the talent really drops off in the later rounds, so knew I wanted to move a few to acquire a higher pick.



-----TRADE: 1.19 (875) TO BUF for 1.28 (660)/2.60 (300) we win the trade, but they need a WR
1.28 – Chop Robinson, Edge PSU
Had Robinson played for Bama and had 600 snaps, I think he is in the running for the first defender taken in this draft. With an elite 20.9% Pass rush win rate, he steps in an starts opposite Young and harasses QB’s from day 1. Not only is Chop an elite pass rusher, but one of the better edge prospects defending the run and pass. He will be known as a steal in a few years.


-----TRADE: 2.52 (380) 3.99 (104) 5.155(29.4) to TENANTS for 2.37 (530)
2.37 – Jer’Zhan Newton, DT Illinois
All around impactful DT. Will join Turner on the line and do his best to help fill the void that AD left. Had a superior season in 2022, however, played most of last year with a Jones fracture in his foot. I’d expect him to be fully recovered in time for training camp


3.60 – Malik Washington, WR Virginia
Washington is just amazing. He played slot in college and maybe that is where he translates best in the NFL, but he just has some dog in him. 1st in the nation is missed tackles forced and slot yard (2nd in catches). I think he is an A+ returner as well. I think he outplays the 3rd round pick we used on him. Very underrated


3.83 – Kris Abrams-Draine, CB Missouri
Much like Washington, he’s just a ball player. Plenty of playmaking skills, 4.4 speed. Despite his size, he still can lay the wood. Experienced and good in zone and man coverage. Think he via’s for a starting role this season.


5.154 – Tyrone Tracy Jr, RB Purdue
He’s an older prospect but very skilled and with little tread on the tires. Tracy played WR for a time and thus is an experienced receiver as well as a skilled runner. Extremely productive on only 114 rushing attempts this season (714 yard, 8 TD, 19 rec). I think he is a perfect back up for Kyren at this point in the draft.


------TRADE: 6.196 (13)/6.209 (7.8) to PHI 5.161 (27) – talent drying up, we package some later picks
5.161 – Christian Jones, OT – Texas
Best OT left on the board and projects to either LT or RT and will be a swing for us this year and perhaps develops into a starter at some point.


6.213 6.2 – Will Reichard, K Alabama
Tired of the crap we put on the field last year. Reichard is reliable and strong legged.


6.217 4.6 – Marist Liufau, LB Notre Dame
Solid back up LB who excels in coverage. A guy that can be added to our terrible special teams.


7.254 1 – Jack Westover, TE Washington
Nice special teams guy and was a very reliable receiver for Penix. Pretty well rounded and athletic.


I think this vastly improves our defense for this season, adding 2 top end pass rushers. We also get 2 playmakers that I think McVay would love to implement into our offense.

The 2024 NFL Draft begins this week, on Thursday, April 25, with the Chicago Bears set to make the first overall selection for the first time since 1947. The Bears had the first overall pick last year but traded it away to Carolina, with the Panthers selecting QB Bryce Young. Chicago got Carolina’s 2024 first round pick as part of that trade and will now select first overall this year after the Panthers finished with the worst record in the league last season.

Seven of the last nine first overall picks have been quarterbacks, and the Bears are expected to take QB Caleb Williams out of USC with the first pick this year. The Bears traded QB Justin Fields to the Steelers in March, signaling the start of a new era in Chicago. Williams highlights a draft class which includes QBs Drake Maye (UNC) and Jayden Daniels (LSU), as well as WRs Marvin Harrison Jr. (Ohio State), Malik Nabers (LSU) and Rome Odunze (Washington).

This year’s draft is being held around Campus Martius Park and Hart Plaza in Detroit, Michigan. The first round will take place on Thursday, April 25, followed by the second and third rounds on Friday, April 26. The final four rounds will wrap up on Saturday, April 27. Below is the complete draft order for all 257 picks in all seven rounds of the 2024 NFL Draft, including compensatory picks (denoted with an asterisk *).

As with my previous draft I will be using PFN mock draft simulator for the randomness (not being able to draft 100% of the prospects I'd want at a given position like IRL) and making up to a max of 3 draft trades which is the average for Les Snead since he's been GM for our Rams. Also classic draft trade value chart will be used as PFN likes to give you a lot more or a lot less in trades to make it realistic.


Some might say I don't know how to do these mocks right way,
others might say I don't know how to stop the Rams sliding
and get us to another Super Bowl..


For those people I'd like to say this is going to be

SO





NFL DRAFT:

Trade w/ Lions 19 and pick 254 for 29, 73, 201
Trade w/ Titans 29 for 38, 106, 146, 242
MF'r the Simulator surprised me!! F IT!!!

Trade w/ Jags 106, 154, 242, 2025 5th,6th for 114, 116
Yes the computer straight fleeced me! lol

Second Round Pick#38 DT Illinois Johnny Newton:

Login to view embedded media View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgCl1YdrLKE


Yes Yes I know it's not realistic and I expect him going in the first round as well. And if he does by chance last the first day, I'd have to say for sure somebody is calling and making deals to pick him up the beginning of the second day. Anyways, Newton or in other scenarios a tackle like Newton will be handling our vacate spot from our HOF'r.


Second Round Pick#52 ED PSU Adisa Isaac:
Login to view embedded media View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JbbMyCp-ms

This is a definite must since we didn't go the Edge right before the draft and Adisa might not be the best Edge in the draft or league but he will for sure be reliable on pass and run downs and consistent.

Third Round Pick#52 DT FSU Brandon Fiske:
Login to view embedded media View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gMZAEtfo_M

To add to our trio of available D-Line spots the workout wonder fills out the roster and The 3 Amigos cast!

Third Round Pick#83 OT Washington Blake Fisher:
Login to view embedded media View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXPOD3Doi2A

I'm not a fan of drafting a RT and trying to convert him into a LT but he was to good to pass up. Maybe he's versatile like how Alaric Jackson was. he has some good movement but will need to increase his strength and bull rushing counter.

Third Round Pick#99 WR Alabama Jermaine Burton:
Login to view embedded media View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XA668-mmpQg

McVay has proven he needs and wants a skilled technician who is a speed demon to take the top off the defense that is actually a threat. Burton is the version of Tutu we wished he was.

Fourth Round Pick#114 RB Tennessee Jaylen Wright:
Login to view embedded media View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TZkSZUPgNQ

Home run ability, three down back, outside and inside runner, ability to line up and catch, we aren't being handicapped by a potential Williams injury this year.

Fourth Round Pick#116 CB ND Cam Hart:
Login to view embedded media View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWamopPYKY0

Captain, leader of the ND defense, ball skills and perfect cover skills that like to tackle? Yes please.

Fifth Round Pick#146 TE TCU Jared Wiley:
Login to view embedded media View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmEXLeW8aJQ

Home run ability, 3rd down converting beast and reliable hands. He's decent at blocking but need to add emphasis on this part of his game.

Fifth Round Pick#155 DT Gabe Hall:
Login to view embedded media View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYMzIrHretA

One of my surprise players this draft, I really think we need him to complete the front 5 make over.

Sixth Round Pick#196 LB Washington Edefuan Ulofoshio:
Login to view embedded media View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yog2vgFX6AM&t=24s

Absolutely love Edefuan to match with Jones as our weakside LB. He's fast, good in coverage, a sure tackler, and intelligent.

Sixth Round Pick#201 K Stanford Joshua Karty
Login to view embedded media View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zr7_7ENCsfU

Login to view embedded media View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKo62K3dFLU

Karty gets my vote to win our close games, especially for our playoff run this year!

Sixth Round Pick#209 S TCU Mark Perry:
Login to view embedded media View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYtGq2DXAsU

Rams have met with Perry and seems to be a favorite to pair with Kamren Curl and watch his tape. Dude is impressive

Sixth Round Pick#213 ED UConn Eric Watts:
Login to view embedded media View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkDDGjvqre8

Project situation Edge rusher, probably need to get him revved up towards the end of the year of situational pass rushing

Sixth Round Pick#217 S Washington Dominique Hampton:
Login to view embedded media View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrTWZXKziW8

Login to view embedded media View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRdgXA9SvPk

Going BPA and and yes another safety. Love this guy like I do Mark Perry.

Ok this is me no messing around with what ifs. Too many people think I want a WR in the 1st

Round 1 pick 19
Jared Verse Edge Florida St.

Steps in day 1 starts opposite Young and upgrades the pass rush and run defense over the previous occupant opposite Young.

Round 2 pick 52
Kris Abrams-Draine CB Missouri

Will battle to start and could win the slot role. At worst he's our dime back IMO.

Round 3 pick 83
Ruke Orhorhoro DT Clemson

Another guy that at worst is rotational on the front but I think he can come in play the 5-Tech with Turner moving into the 3-Tech. Very good run defender and can win in pass rush as well.

Round 3 pick 99
Johnny Wilson WR Florida St

Not your normal X WR at 6'7" but the guy wins outside and has a great catch radius.

Round 5 pick 153
Jaylan Ford ILB Texas

Had him in earlier talks and like him next to Jones. Can cover can rush and can tackle.

Round 5 pick 154
Walter Rouse OT Oklahoma

The LT that kept Guyton on the right side at Oklahoma. 5th round developmental tackle. Has good size and length really just needs to work on technique with Wendell.

Round 6 pick 196
Isaiah Davis RB South Dakota St

I was really wanting a change of pace with some breakaway speed but opted for Davis instead. Guy just runs the ball well. He doesn't fumble and is a patient runner between the tackles and with our upgraded iOL that will be a big hit. Capable pass catcher and a willing blocker just need work on refining it. I'm also giving him a shot at returns.

Round 6 pick 208
Charles Turner III C LSU

Athletic center that has experience at guard and left tackle. Can come in and be a gameday active backup at center and guard.

Round 6 pick 212
Tykee Smith S Georgia

Played both nickle and a cover/center field safety at Georgia. Also a very good tackler. At worst he comes in and helps special teams at best he pushes Tayler for the 4th safety spot.

Round 6 pick 217
Jordan Jefferson DT LSU

Big strong NT for depth. Transferred to LSU ended up with 7 TFL and 2.5 sacks as a NT last year. Good depth behind BB3.

Round 7 pick 254
Isaiah Williams WR Illinois

Another WR to compete for the return job.

Saw others post a final mock draft so I figured I throw something together real quick.

Rams trade their 1st & 2nd Round Selection to the Denver Broncos for their 1st and 4th Round Selection.

This mindset is what future stars have. As sad as it is to not see 99 on Sundays, the future is still bright with some of these young guys.
https://www.instagram.com/p/C6FCDBhS6ux/?igsh=MWZremUyY3RjdXJybA==

I have more than a few draft prospects I posted about the last day of the draft in years past that no one else mentioned on ROD about ( see Robert Rochelle, David Long Jr. etc.) however, it’s a crap shoot because the low value, multitude of trades, and guys that fall that complicates late day pick prediction.

Last draft day picks are a lot funner for me to review and go after than the top guys that are no brainers in making an NFL team. Also, GM’s reputation and jobs are on line drafting with these late round picks that generally make or break them and/or a team.

This year is a special year with all the Super Seniors, Normal underclassman and seniors, as well as hold overs for the the first Portal talent, yeah this draft is loaded with talent. So much so the 5, 6, and 7th round have guys who would normally in the 3-5 range.

The general media doesn’t pump them up or talk about them much so those who fancy themselves a draft guru don’t generally talk much about late round picks since you can’t be a half wit to listening to media for these type of picks.

Just curious, those of you that follow deeper in the draft prospects, you have any favorites you like in this unique draft?

(Obviously projected round is subjective, how many times can you get 32 different people to all agree 100% of the time? It only takes one to take a guy early and not risk it)

p.s. most are captains as well.

Here are a few of mine:

is my final mock. The Rams have given few clues, so I'm just going with my gut:

Round 1 (19): Olumuyiwa Fashanu, LT, Penn State
Yep... I'm bucking conventional wisdom and starting on the offensive side of the ball. The Rams have made a concerted effort to build a top-notch OL this offseason, re-signing Kevin Dotson, signing Jonah Jackson, and moving Steve Avila to center. At the same time, they offered starting LT Alaric Jackson only a one-year RFA tender. That signals to me an intent to take a LT if the right one falls. I think Fashanu is the right one, and I think he may fall to No. 19. If he does, he would give the Rams a LT with prototypical size, a great work ethic, and tremendous upside to protect the blind side for the next 5-10 years.

Round 2 (52): Marshawn Kneeland, EDGE, Western Michigan
Last year, the Rams went with Byron Young, an EDGE with WR speed, and that worked out pretty well. This year, I think they will look to bookend Young with a guy with a different profile. Kneeland is a power rusher, who will immediately be an asset as an edge-setter/run defender. He's the guy that the Rams have been trying to turn Michael Hoecht into, but he's more built for the role.

Round 3 (83): Ruke Orhohoro, DT, Clemson
The Rams will "replace" Aaron Donald with a committee. Kobie Turner and Bobby Brown are a good start, and Orhohoro will be a great addition. He's versatile, athletic, and has a ton of upside. You'll hear the cliche "his best football is ahead of him" uttered about many prospects. For Orhohoro, I really believe it is true.

Round 3 (99): Javon Baker, WR, UCF
I like Baker's size (6'1, 202), run after the catch ability, and positive showing at Senior Bowl practices. He seems like a Sean McVay type of WR to me. There are others, but they'll all be gone by this point in the draft.

Round 5 (153) Jaylan Ford, LB, Texas
He'll pair nicely with Ernest Jones on the inside. A pure tackling machine.

Round 5 (154) Dylan Laube, RB, New Hampshire
I have Laube here for two reasons. First, I think Audric Estime, who would be a very good fit, will be gone. Second, I really like Laube's receiving and return skills.

Round 6 (195) Tanor Bortolini, C, Wisconsin
Need depth on the interior OL. Bortolini can play OG and even RT in a pinch.

Round 6 (209) Joshua Karty, PK, Stanford
No more PK drama, please!!!

6 (213) Jordan Jefferson, DT, LSU
Another big body for the DL rotation.

6 (217) Nathan Thomas, OT, Louisiana
Could be a swing guard option for the future (i.e. post-Noteboom).

7 (254) Daequan Hardy, CB/PR, Penn State
The Tre'Davious White signing changed my outlook at CB entirely. I think the Rams are comfortable rolling with White, Darious Williams, Cobie Durant and Derion Kendrick. I also wouldn't rule out a Ahkello Witherspoon reunion. Hardy is a slot-CB option, and could bring value-added returning punts.

There is a lot of talent partly due to the impact of Covid. There is very little if any consensus once you move past the top picks and even then little drop off in talent beyond around pick 20

We could take any posted evaluation, for example, this one and bet good money some of the players listed in the top 50 will be drafted day 3

Past 50 it’s even more difficult. I hate to say it but PFF is about the best I have seen. That said, their stats are hardly projecting potential growth especially in younger players

Perhaps, we can post top 50/100 lists that we see as best or even dare post our own?

First off, I am not a big fan of Jimmy G, and I am not even sure that this is possible, but you never know. I think it would be really funny if Jimmy G. learned from Stafford/McVey for a couple of years, and really developed, then led us to a Superbowl victory or 2 after Stafford retires. All while the 49ers stay in their SB Slump.

It would be really fun to watch the 49er's fans lose their minds while we win Superbowls with their old QB, and they don't with their little wonder boy.

Well, I went to the Battlehawks game. It was awesome, and if you heard a loud voice at the start of each defensive play, that was me.

And the good guys won, 32-17, despite the refs really screwing us.

Condolences to the Gabriel family & our Ramily. He was one of the main reasons I became a Rams fan back in the 60's!

This is not a thread for what you would do, but what you think the Rams will do with their 1st pick.

Trade up. Rams move from the 19th pick to 14th in a trade with the Saints.

The PICK. Latu

Instant production off the edge week 1.
