PERFECT PICKS 2024: LOS ANGELES RAMS (thetouchdown.com)

“The Rams exceeded expectations in 2023 reaching the playoffs with a 10-7 record before falling to the Detroit Lions in the wildcard round. Even more impressive was the way this young roster went 7-1 down the stretch and this bodes well for the future. Puka Nacua was obviously the breakout star for the Rams, however, Guard Steve Avila (R2) and round 3 defensive picks Kobie Turner and Byron Young were also significant contributors to the Rams’ great season.

With Sean McVay at the helm, the Rams are always in with a shout and here’s how I think they should go in the 2024 draft, where they will have their first-round pick since 2016 (at the time of writing!)”

The Rams saw multiple surprise performances boost their odds on the way to the NFC’s Wild Card Round. So many of them came from out of left field, like Dotson.

Having been dealt right before the season for a swap of Day 3 picks, Dotson was viewed as a fringe starter who could add consistency to Los Angeles’ offensive line. Instead, he became the unit’s best player.”
