Rams' riskiest moves in 2024 NFL offseason
The Los Angeles Rams have been hard at work retooling their defense this offseason. Aaron Donald retired from the NFL after 10 incredible seasons in the league. Donald was consistently a high-end pass rusher who always seemed to collapse a pocket for a big play if left in a one-on-one situation. Los Angeles also invested some resources in repairing their secondary, which lacks the star power that it once had with Jalen Ramsey.

Expert Commentary
This is a very safe, solid pick for the Rams at this point in the draft. Verse is a high-floor player for the Rams that fits in well with the players they have up front. The Rams were looking at an offensive player earlier in the process, but they ended up with a stud pass rusher who immediately makes them better.

Expert Commentary
The Rams definitely had a need for a disruptive defensive presence, but Fiske has a bit of an odd profile. He’s a freakish athlete, but also an older prospect — which, admittedly, the Rams had success with a year ago. Fiske needs to add some strength to be an every-down player in the NFL, but there is some upside here considering his athleticism. A 2025 second round pick is a high price to pay here.

Expert Commentary
Corum is a good player, no doubt, but this feels like a weird fit with what Kyren Williams brought to the team last season. Still, a 1-2 punch with Williams and Corum behind a revamped offensive line might rake for the Rams.

Expert Commentary
Kinchens is a good playmaker and should be a productive member of the Rams’ secondary. His 4.65 40-yard dash and general poor performance at the NFL combine hurt him, but he’s still a good ball player.
