In this first round, we are dealing with a scenario where the first overall pick is an edge rusher in Abdul Carter, sparking a domino effect that sees defenders and running backs get selected higher than usual due to teams' needs versus the available demand.

As a result of Carter going first, offensive tackles became less of a priority unlike the 2024 NFL Draft.

Omarion Hampton is the definition of a luxery pick but the Rams can afford to take a bit of a gamble due to their current roster situation. Hampton put up numbers on a North Carolina team that did not have a QB. He's fast, versatile and the perfect pairing with Kyren Williams.
