As the 2024 NFL Draft draws near, mock draft preparations are well underway.

According to PFF’s most recent two-round mock draft, the Rams will select a defensive player with their first two selections, starting with UCLA’s Laiatu Latu, a linebacker.
With his massive 6’5″ height and 265 pounds of weight, Latu gives the pass rush a serious advantage. With the Bruins in 2023, he turned in an outstanding campaign, totaling 49 tackles, 13 sacks, and 2 interceptions. These figures add to his outstanding 2022 season, in which he racked up 10.5 sacks and 36 total tackles.
Latu’s achievements strengthen his draft position even more. He was named Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year and won the coveted Lombardi Award, solidifying his place as the best defensive lineman in the country. Furthermore,
With an astounding Big Board ranking of No. 10 overall, ESPN draft expert Mel Kiper has established Latu as the best outside linebacker in this draft class.
Sikkema and Rogers predict that the Rams will pick Minnesota safety Tyler Nubin in the second round. The 6’2, 210-pound defensive back has played for the Gophers for the past five seasons. In 2023, he totaled 53 tackles, 1 sack, and 5 interceptions.
The University of Minnesota’s outstanding defensive back Nubins has won numerous awards for his outstanding play on the football field.
A First Team All-American as determined by The Sporting News, Nubins has solidified his status as one of the best defensive players in college football by winning Second Team honors from organizations such as the AP, FWAA, and Walter Camp Foundation.
