LOS ANGELES RAMS
Round 1 (No. 19 overall) — Jared Verse, DE, Florida State: Replacing retired legend Aaron Donald isn’t going to be a one-for-one proposition. But Verse is a nice start given his effectiveness against the run and pass.
Round 2 (39, from Giants through Panthers) — Braden Fiske, DT, Florida State: An interior disruptor, Fiske should help Verse plug a sizable void on LA’s line. Fiske was a combine star, running a 4.78 40 at 6-4, 292 pounds.
Round 3 (83) — Blake Corum, TB, Michigan: A two-time All-American with a school-record 58 rushing TDs (27 in 2023). He is not big (5-8, 205) or especially fast (4.53 40 time) for his position but has good vision.
Round 3 (99, special compensatory selection) — Kamren Kinchens, S, Miami (Fla.): A two-time All-ACC selection, he swiped 11 passes over the past two years, turning two into pick-sixes.
Round 5 (154) — Brennan Jackson, DE, Washington State: Jackson’s relentless motor mirrors that of the Rams’ top pick this year, Jared Verse. That effort helped him get 20 career sacks over 44 games with the Cougars.
Round 6 (196) — Tyler Davis, DT, Clemson: Davis projects as a high-floor nose tackle with outstanding strength. He may struggle against longer interior blockers on the inside but he at least has the anchor to hold up against the run and bull rush versus the pass.
Round 6 (209, compensatory selection) — Joshua Karty, K, Stanford: He’s got NFL-level kicking power. He struggled in 2021 but improved to drill 41 of 45 field goals over his final two seasons.
Round 6 (213, compensatory selection) — Jordan Whittington, WR, Texas: Whittington projects as a big slot receiver with excellent toughness from his time in Austin.
Round 6 (217, compensatory selection) — Beaux Limmer, C, Arkansas: Limmer offers plenty of versatility with starts at guard and center in college. Has a high football IQ and can impact run blocking and pass protection.
Round 7 (254, compensatory selection) — KT Leveston, G, Kansas State: Coaches remarked on his growth and maturity as he became a leader over his final two seasons.
