Who Did the Rams Draft in 2024?
Jared Verse, EDGE, Round 1, Pick 19
Following the retirement of Aaron Donald, the Rams were in desperate need of some pass rushing help. Florida State edge defender Jared Verse surprisingly fell to Los Angeles and the Rams smartly pounced on him.
Verse will join defensive tackle Kobie Turner to form a potentially dominant defensive duo for Los Angeles in the trenches. Pro Football Network’s Ian Cummings discussed Verse’s skillset in his scouting report.

“Verse has the combined burst, motor, strength, force capacity, and violence in his game to be a high-level two-phase disruptor, and he’s easily worthy of Round 1 capital,” Cummings said.
“Not only has Verse shown that he can employ his traits in tandem to generate awesome amounts of power, but he can also work off of power exertions, multitask while prying around blocks, and manipulate blockers one-on-one with his hyperactive twitch, control, and patience.”
Braden Fiske, DT, Round 2, Pick 39
At around 6’3″, 297 pounds, with visibly below-average arm length, poor overall flexibility, and advanced age as a 24-year-old rookie, Fiske has a few cosmetic factors working against him. But one trait of his will win over evaluators across the board: His motor.
He’s old by rookie standards (24 years old), but the urgency in which he plays with allows him to project favorably.

Blake Corum, RB, Round 3, Pick 83
Corum totaled over 1,000 yards and scored at least 12 times in each of his final three seasons at Ann Arbor, as he enters the league with proof that he can lead a backfield (19.7 touches per game over the past two seasons).
Corum profiles as a contact seeking back that can get the most out of interior runs, a role that certainly has value in the NFL. That said, questions have crept in about his explosive potential, making him a candidate to split work, but unlikely to hold the same role early in his NFL career that he did at Michigan, especially with a highly productive Kyren Williams working ahead of him.
Kamren Kinchens, S, Round 3, Pick 99
As long as he continues to iron out minor inconsistencies in his game, Kamren Kinchens has the passable functional athleticism, coverage versatility, and support upside to be a quality NFL starter, with particular appeal as a playmaker at field safety, working in two-high and single-high.
In a division with no shortage of receiver talent, Kinchens will get the opportunity to learn on the fly against quality opponents on a consistent basis.
Brennan Jackson, EDGE, Round 5, Pick 154
Brennan Jackson is one of the better EDGE prospects in the Day 3 range, from a value perspective. With sub-33″ arms, his power profile is noticeably lacking, and that middling length can limit his counter arsenal, but at 6’4″, 264 pounds, he’s a fairly explosive, agile, and active rusher who logged 14.5 sacks and 24.5 TFLs through 2022 and 2023.
Tyler Davis, DT, Round 6, Pick 196
Davis is an old-school interior defensive lineman who is among the draft’s best run defenders. He’s experienced, racking up nearly 2,000 snaps in five years at Clemson, making him a prospect with a high floor and the ability to produce early in his professional career.
Joshua Karty, K, Round 6, Pick 209
Karty missed only one PAT during his three collegiate seasons and buried 85% of his field goals over that stretch. His range extends well beyond 50 yards, a trait that figures to translate enough to earn him an opportunity at this level.
Jordan Whittington, WR, Round 6, Pick 213
Jordan Whittington has the intangibles — toughness, physical, willing blocker, high motor prospect — that could be useful in the right spot. The Rams have a tandem of special receivers currently rostered, but you can never have too much depth at the position, especially with the recent health issues of Cooper Kupp.
Beaux Limmer, OC, Round 6, Pick 217
There’s a starting-caliber offensive lineman in the Arkansas prospect, but Beaux Limmer has to land in an ideal situation. He’s a zone-blocking, center-only prospect that can thrive as a situational option for now.
KT Leveston, G, Round 7, Pick 254
KT Leveston closed out his collegiate career with 27 straight starts at left tackle, but he projects as a depth piece with T/G versatility at the NFL level.
At 6’4″, 326 pounds, with 34 3/8″ arms, he’s well-sized, and naturally plays square to opponents with his lateral mobility. His feet can be plodding at times, and he’s an older prospect, but he can be quality OL insurance and you can never have too much of that!
