The Los Angeles Rams have been highly successful on Day 1 of the NFL Draft since 2015, ranking as the second-most successful team according to FTN Fantasy, with only the Detroit Lions ahead of them. Despite having limited first-round picks over the past decade, all of their selections, including Todd Gurley, Jared Goff, and Jared Verse, have proven to be valuable NFL players. These three picks have collectively played in 159 Rams games since 2015, showcasing their impact on the team.
While the Rams' percentage of games played by their Day 1 draft picks ranks 25th among NFL teams, the trio has amassed eight Pro Bowl appearances, two All-Pro selections, and one Defensive Rookie of the Year award. Despite Todd Gurley's career being cut short due to injuries, Jared Goff being traded, and Jared Verse being a second-year player, all three have established themselves as key contributors in the league. With the Rams holding the No. 26 pick in the upcoming 2025 NFL draft, there is anticipation surrounding whether they can continue their successful streak with another impactful selection.
