In 2019, the Los Angeles Rams were coming off of a Super Bowl ls to the New England Patriots and holding the 31st pick in the first round of the draft. The Rams had not made a first round pick since 2016, which is now a shorter period of time than the time between 2019 and 2024; L.A. hasn’t held a first round pick going into a draft in five years and they haven’t used a first round pick in eight years.
Mock drafts typically have the Rams staying at pick 19 and selecting a defensive player like Byron Murphy, Jared Verse, Chop Robinson, Johnny Newton, or Laiatu Latu.
