The first two days of the 2024 NFL draft have already flown by in the blink of an eye, leaving just four more rounds to take place on Saturday. The Rams are equipped with six picks on Day 3 so they have plenty of chances to add impactful players again after already selecting Jared Verse, Braden Fiske, Blake Corum and Kamren Kinchens.
Using our initial top 100 big board, here are 33 of the best players still available. Some of the players are at positions the Rams already addressed, so they’re unlikely to be drafted by LA on Saturday, but there are still prospects at positions of need.
Unfortunately, the Rams will have to wait until Pick 154 in Round 5 to make their first selection unless they trade up.
Franklin should go early on Day 3, which will likely take him out of the Rams’ range unless they trade up from No. 154.
The Rams added a safety, but they could still use cornerback help and Tampa is widely viewed as the best available.
It’s hard to imagine the Rams taking another safety after already drafting Kamren Kinchens, but Hicks is a fantastic player.
Could the Rams double-up at edge rusher and take a developmental prospect like Booker?
Dorlus is a versatile defensive lineman who can play 3-technique or defensive end, or even stand up as an edge rusher.
It’s surprising that Sanders is still on the board after some initially thought he could be the second tight end to be drafted.
The Rams are intent on building their roster to win now, but Rattler would be a good quarterback to develop behind Matthew Stafford.
Wright was one of the top running backs on our initial big board but the Rams aren’t going to take a second tailback … right?
Another talented cornerback with inside-outside versatility, James is a player to watch for the Rams on Day 3.
The Rams could still use a wide receiver after passing on the position in the first three rounds and Baker is a well-rounded player who can win at every level of the field.
