The Los Angeles Rams addressed two pressing needs in the NFL draft after star lineman Aaron Donald's retirement and last season's kicking issues. They focused on adding depth to the defense with four rookie defensive linemen and new safety Kamren Kinchens. Offensively, they added Michigan running back Blake Corum and Texas wide receiver Jordan Whittington. Stanford kicker Joshua Karty was chosen to improve the kicking game. The Rams aim to build a strong specialist group for the future, similar to their past success with Zuerlein, Hekker, and McQuaide.
Amidst their picks, the Rams selected players like Braden Fiske, Brennan Jackson, Tyler Davis, and Beaux Limmer to strengthen different positions on the team. They also prioritized finding players who could fill rotational roles immediately and provide depth for the offensive line. The addition of Karty to the special teams unit aims to bring stability to a position that faced challenges in the previous season.
