Even though the Los Angeles Rams are facing some tough questions before the 2024 NFL Draft, it wouldn’t be out of character for them to draft an outside pass rusher in the 2024 NFL Draft. No matter how you classify the position, whether edge, outside linebacker or defensive end, General Manager Les Snead has not hesitated in drafting that role. What round he’s been willing to pull the trigger is another story. Since taking over in 2012, Snead has drafted a dozen edge players and just one of those came before the Snead/Sean McVay union in 2017. But only Terrell Lewis, in 2020, was selected within the Top 100 picks. Of the rest, eight came in Rounds 6&7, three in Round 5, and one in Round 4. Fast forward to today and the odds appear short that the Rams will take an edge player on Day 1. Here are a few favorites and where they could fall in the draft.
Penn State
Washington
Kansas
Colorado State
Houston Baptist
