Because it at the moment stands, the Los Angeles Rams are set to have a primary spherical choose within the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft at nineteenth general. In the event that they do preserve the choose, it is going to be the primary time since Sean McVay took over as head coach that the workforce makes a range within the first spherical of the draft.
The query then turns into which route the workforce chooses to go along with their choose. After an especially promising season during which they made the playoffs, the Rams wish to construct on that basis and one prognosticator believes McVay is trying to fortify the offense with their draft choose.
In NFL.com’s Peter Schrager’s just lately launched mock draft, he mainly ensures McVay and the Rams will look in direction of the offensive facet of the ball in the event that they preserve their draft choose, taking offensive sort out Tyler Guyton on this occasion:
I’ll go on document with one thing of a assure right here: If the Rams don’t commerce again, you higher consider Sean McVay’s first-ever first-round choice shall be an offensive participant. Los Angeles shored up its inside O-line in free company. Guyton — a little bit of a mission, however somebody who can play both sort out spot — offers Matthew Stafford one other promising younger man to guard him in his sixteenth NFL season.
Whereas the Rams addressed the inside of their offensive line in free company, including one other sort out wouldn’t be the worst concept. Enhancing the safety round Matthew Stafford is rarely a nasty factor and Guyton is somebody who could possibly be a stalwart of the offensive line for years to come back. Beginning left sort out Alaric Jackson is on a one-year deal proper now so this could possibly be insurance coverage in case he leaves subsequent offseason.
However, in fact, that is all assuming that McVay and basic supervisor Les Snead select to maintain the choose. The Rams might simply select to commerce down and choose up a couple of extra draft picks alongside the best way in the event that they don’t have a man they need on the nineteenth general choice and it will be very a lot within the wheelhouse of the Rams’ braintrust to make a couple of strikes on draft day.
