Resetting the Board: How Many Draft Picks Will Rams Have in 2024?
In this story:
The Los Angeles Rams have been relatively quiet at the draft the last few years, but that changed in 2023. After several trades during the draft, L.A. made a league-high 14 picks across all seven rounds.
Now that the 2023 NFL Draft is in the books, where do the Rams stand in regard to next year's draft? Here's an early look at all the picks they currently own for the 2024 NFL Draft.
Round 1: The Rams currently hold their own first-round pick in 2024. Assuming they keep the pick, this would mark the first time the Rams have made a first-round pick since they took Jared Goff at No. 1 overall in 2016.
Round 2: The Rams currently hold their own second-round pick in 2024. They selected offensive guard Steve Avila in the second round in 2023.
Round 3: The Rams currently hold their own third-round pick in 2024. They made two third-round picks in 2023, selecting linebacker Byron Young at No. 77 and defensive lineman Kobie Turner at No. 89.
Round 4: The Rams currently hold their own fourth-round pick in 2024. They selected quarterback Stetson Bennett in the fourth round in 2023.
Round 5: The Rams currently hold their own fifth-round pick in 2024. They made four fifth-round picks in 2023, selecting linebacker Nick Hampton at No. 161, offensive lineman Warren McLendon at No. 174, tight end Davis Allen at No. 175, and receiver Puka Nacua at No. 177.
Round 6: The Rams don't have their own sixth-round pick in 2024, as they traded it to the Buffalo Bills to move up in the 2023 draft. However, they do have the Denver Broncos' sixth-round pick thanks to a trade involving linebacker Kenny Young in October 2021. Additionally, L.A. is projected to receive two compensatory picks in the sixth round due to losing Matt Gay and Baker Mayfield in free agency.
Round 7: The Rams also don't have their own seventh-round pick due to the aforementioned trade with the Broncos. Compensatory selections come in again, though, as L.A. is projected to receive two more in the seventh round due to losing Nick Scott and A'Shawn Robinson this offseason.
