How will the Los Angeles Rams plan for the future?
In ESPN’s latest 2024 NFL Draft projections, former NFL general manager, Mike Tannenbaum has the Los Angeles Rams looking ahead past 2024 as he has the club selecting Washington quarterback and 2023 Heisman Trophy finalist, Michael Penix Jr. with the 19th overall pick in next month’s draft.
“This makes six quarterbacks in the first 19 picks but consider the bigger picture for the Rams. Matthew Stafford is 36 years old and Jimmy Garoppolo isn’t a long-term option. L.A. has a good base to its roster, and Penix’s game is well-suited for Sean McVay’s offense, thanks to his arm strength and accuracy from the pocket. He didn’t miss a game over two years at Washington, though Penix had knee and shoulder injuries at Indiana that need to be vetted. He’ll also be 24 when he enters the league.
But I just love the production and deep-ball placement; he threw 67 TD passes and only 19 picks over the past two seasons, and his 4,903 passing yards led the country in 2023. Aaron Donald’s recent retirement means defensive tackle could be an option, but I see great value in finding a long-term solution for when Stafford is no longer the guy.”
Los Angeles Rams Adjust to Life After Aaron Donald in 2024
Following a shockingly successful 2023, the Los Angeles Rams will be looking for a major retooling heading into 2024. Future first-ballot Hall of Famer, Aaron Donald announced his retirement, which puts Rams fans on notice with aging stars such as Matthew Stafford, Cooper Kupp, and co., as their retirement statements could come any year now.
