No draft is perfect, but the Los Angeles Rams did get pretty close.
At least in my opinion.
Since then, NFL executives have weighed in on the Rams' 10 selections, and most have a mixed reaction when looking at the talent Los Angeles walked away with following the 2024 NFL Draft.
Though, for the most part, the Rams' selections garnered support. Where there was some drawback was regarding the Rams' decision to package a 2025 second-round choice with a 2024 fifth in jumping from the 52nd to 39th to select Braden Fiske.
“We liked Fiske, but what they gave up, I mean, can you find another trade in the second round that gave up as much as they gave up, over the last 10 years?” an exec said to The Athletic. “I don’t even know if they are weighing the trade calculations.”
Several executives in The Athletic's article chalked the Rams move up to losing Aaron Donald earlier in the offseason. It makes sense. Finding a replacement for a future Hall of Fame player isn't easy. But time will tell if the Rams gave up far too much to find a Donald replacement.
