Three positions of need for the Los Angeles Rams heading into Day 3 of the 2024 NFL Draft

The first three rounds on the 2024 NFL Draft are officially in the books with 100 picks finding their new destinations as they prepare to transition from college to the NFL. 

The Los Angeles Rams have taken a defense-first approach this year, with three of their first four picks lining up on that side of the ball. Their lone offensive addition to this point is running back Blake Corum out of Michigan.

Here's a look at their current selections:

Round 1, No. 19: Florida State EDGE Jared Verse

Round 2, No. 39: Florida State DT Braden Fiske

Round 3, No. 83: Michigan RB Blake Corum

Round 3, No. 99: Miami S Kamren Kichens

There's still plenty of work to be done in rounds 4-7. Here's a look into three positions of need still remaining for the team:

1. QB.

The Rams have their starter in Matthew Stafford, but especially with the ups and downs they've had with Stetson Bennett to this point, backup quarterback is still something that needs to be addressed. Bennett may very well still prevail as the team's No. 2 guy, but adding competition and depth to the position is a necessity. South Carolina's Spencer Rattler and South Alabama's Carter Bradley could fit the bill here.

2. WR.

The Rams have a good group of starters at the wide receiver position between the likes of Puka Nacua, Cooper Kupp, and Demarcus Robinson. But behind them are Tutu Atwell, Ben Skowronek, and Tyler Johnson -- all players who have not proven fully reliable. Depth is an issue here, and the Rams could address it by adding a player like Arizona wide receiver Jacob Cowing.

3. LB.

The Rams' group of linebackers could use some improvement, especially where players in coverage and helping to stop the opposing ground game are concerned. Someone like UNC's Cedric Gray or another solid interior linebacker available could help to fill the void.
