I thought the first two picks were great. They both should be immediate starters. Don't know enough about the next two. I have feeling we won't see a lot of them in their rookie year. But we have them for 4 years so they could turn out to be starters at some point.

I don't know but I expect Corum to play a lot as Williams primary back-up, and the work-horse back should Williams miss some games. Also think Kinchens could start next to Kamren Curl ... The Kamrens!

The Rams draft was sent up by the off-season/free-agent signings. They took care of the offensive line and most of the defensive backfield. They also added an up-and-coming TE to help fill in for the injured Higbee

They start the draft by filling the DL/Edge. They add the much-need alternate RB which all NFL teams need. Then continue filling out the defensive backfield. All high-quality high-character draft picks.

They are executing their plan to a T.

Overall, I love it.

Only complaints are that we gave up too much to move up in second and that the PFF guys said Kinchens is a terrible tackler. A big problem for a safety.

I was hoping for Malik Mustapha. He’s a wrecking ball. He’s built like a small tank. He’s got good instincts. He was at Richmond with Turner then got Turner to follow him to Wake. Good kid.

Rams are eating their veggies. Each player they picked will be a solid contributor at a position of need at worst. And at best they're going to be electric.

I’m loving this draft so far. Seems the theme of this is players that play with that Alpha mentality. Just aggressive football players. I love it.
 
Honestly, like the draft a lot as a whole. Was I bummed that Latu or Murphy didn't make it to us, yes. That said, it would have cost far too much to move up and we likely would have lost Fiske and potentially Kitchens had we moved up, or next years 1st, which I don't want to do.

I would have liked Newton in the 2nd also, but, they had a vision and Fiske is super talented, so I like it.

Kitchens has potential to be a real ball hawk in the back end, something we have lacked for ever. Turnovers = wins.

Corum is the perfect Williams back up, no change in playstyle when he's in there and its hard to argue about drafting a guy that had 27 TD's last year.

Now, let's nab us a solid WR, OLine depth, K, LB, and DL depth and call it a day.

Idk if I would say he’s “terrible”. He looks to lay the lumber quite a bit, but he does tend to drop the shoulder and not wrap up. He certainly does not shy away from contact. It’s correctable IMO.

Rams Offseason additions have produced
Starting Guard Jackson
Starting Edge Verse
Starting DL Fiske
Starting S Curl
Starting CB White*
Starting CB Williams *

Likely Starting in some packages
S Kinchens
TE Parkinson

Situational Impact
CB's * not sure how this shakes out
RB Corum

Depth
QB Garoppolo

Pretty quality turnover of players with some added nastiness on Defense
I probably missed something, but I thought laying out the additions and their roles would be nice.

Loved the first two picks. Huge for the defense.
Next two, I liked the positional spot they went with - I’ll assume the team/scouts feel they got the right guys.
 
Idk but I’m giving the 2025 draft an F for trading that 2nd rd pick
