The Rams are still in the race to win the NFC West, and with Matthew Stafford as quarterback, they will feel good about their chances of earning a wild-card spot in 2024.
Heading into 2025, Los Angeles has needs on both sides of the ball. Here, we’ll take a look at what we would do if we were drafting for them today.
Round 1 (17): OT Aireontae Ersery, Minnesota
Ersery has been one of the better tackles in college football over the past two seasons, with a PFF grade above 75.0 in both 2023 and so far in 2024. As a pass protector, he has earned an 80.9 PFF pass-blocking grade, allowing 12 pressures from 389 pass-blocking snaps.
Round 3 (81): LB Jeffery Bassa, Oregon
Depth at the linebacker position for the Rams would make sense later on Day 2, and Bassa would be a solid fit. He has earned a PFF grade above 70.0 in both coverage and as a run defender through the first 12 weeks of the season.
Round 3 (80): CB Tacario Davis, Arizona
It’s rarely a bad idea to add depth in the defensive backfield, and while Davis hasn’t hit the heights he did in 2023, he has still earned a solid 68.0 PFF coverage grade in 2024. Last season, he posted an outstanding 85.9 PFF coverage grade, allowing just 42.6% of the throws into his coverage to be caught.
