Over the weekend, I had the privilege of representing the Rams in draft expert Bill Carroll’s (@elevenbravo138) 10th annual Mock-a-palooza. The Mock-a-palooza employs draft experts acting as general managers for each NFL franchise. The mock was a three-day event simulating the NFL Draft, employing trades, picks and analysis with a real-time clock.
There was a major trade that shook up the first round. The Los Angeles Chargers traded the No. 5 pick to Minnesota for Picks 11, 23 and two more Day 2 picks. Minnesota would select J.J. McCarthy and the Chargers would take Dallas Turner with pick 11.
With that being said, here’s the Rams 2024 draft via the Mock-a-palooza. The first number is the round, the second number is the pick.
1.19: Byron Murphy II, DT, Texas
2.52: Tyler Nubin, S, Minnesota
3.83: Andru Phillips, CB, Kentucky
3.99: Cedric Gray, LB, North Carolina
5.154: Dallin Holker, TE, Colorado State
5.155: Sione Vaki, S, Utah
6.196: Dwight McGlothern, CB, Arkansas
6.210: Carson Steele, RB, UCLA
6.214: Jordan Travis, QB, Florida State
6.218: Hayden Hatten, WR, Idaho
7.254: Brevyn Spann-Ford, TE, Minnesota
With a first-round pick for the first time since 2016 and the Rams’ history of success when it comes to Day 2 and 3 picks, this could be gearing up to be the Rams’ best draft ever.
