The 2024 NFL Draft is coming to a close as the Los Angeles Rams have locked in all of their 14 picks.
Making up for the absence of a newly retired Aaron Donald clearly was top priority as four of the team's selections were for a defensive lineman.
Los Angeles held one first-round pick, one second-round pick, two third-round picks, one fifth-round pick, four sixth-round picks and one seventh-round pick, with four compensatory selections.

Round 7, No. 254: G KT Leveston, Kansas State
Here's a look into what to know about each of the Rams' compensatory picks:
Round 6, No. 209: K Joshua Karty, Stanford
The Rams took their first special teams player off the board with the selection of Karty in the sixth round. It now appears that Los Angeles has found its guy of the future at the position after none of the options they cycled through after the departure of Matt Gay fit the bill.
Karty should provide plenty of reason for optimism among Rams fans as he was one of the nation's best kickers over the past two seasons, good for 24 of his 27 field goal attempts from 40 yards out or more.
Over three years at Stanford, he made 51 of 60 field goal attempts and 72 of 73 extra-point attempts.
Round 6, No. 213: WR Jordan Whittington, Texas
Whittington was just the second player on the offensive side of the ball the Rams selected, adding some needed depth at the position. The Rams have a solid group of starters at the position between Puka Nacua, Cooper Kupp, and Demarcus Robinson. But behind them are Tutu Atwell, Ben Skowronek, and Tyler Johnson -- all players who have not exactly fully cemented themselves.
Whittington now enters the fold after serving as an integral part of the team's trip to the College Football Playoff in 2023, and ended out his career with the Longhorns with 141 catches, 1,757 yards, and 5 touchdowns.
Round 6, No. 217: OL Beaux Limmer, Arkansas
The Rams added some strength up front with the addition of Limmer late in the sixth round of the Draft. The former Razorbacks offensive lineman could be a major steal for Los Angeles as he was originally projected to be a mid-round pick before falling to the sixth round.
Limmer's versatility is sure to help him in the NFL as he played all three interior positions within the line while in Fayetteville. Those included right guard, center and left guard. He gives the Rams more to work with behind Jonah Jackson, Kevin Dotson and Steve Avila
Round 7, No. 254: G KT Leveston, Kansas State
Los Angeles rounded things out with their final selection by taking Leveston out of Kansas State to bolster the offensive line. Leveston brings plenty to the table with his 6-foot-4, 326-pound frame and pure power in the way he plays, but he's still a highly developmental prospect. He totals 32 career starts at left tackle.
