Only one 3rd round pick. We gave the Broncos, are 2nd & 3rd round picks in this draft, for Von Miller. We don’t start picking, until our 3rd round comp pick, which is near the end of the 3rd round.

We will rally around our comp picks,

and we will Play good football.

from https://theramswire.usatoday.com/2022/03/15/rams-nfl-draft-compensatory-picks-2022-list/?taid=6231991e91bc6a00016f5a05&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter

The Rams’ third-rounder was thanks to Brad Holmes being hired as the Lions’ GM last year, which was part of the NFL’s minority hiring initiative that awards teams a third-round compensatory pick in consecutive years for another team hiring an executive or coach as its head coach or GM.

That third-rounder will be their first pick in the draft, coming at No. 104 overall. If not for that selection, their first pick would’ve been at No. 142 overall.

The other comp picks were from the losses of Samson Ebukam, Gerald Everett, Morgan Fox, Troy Hill and John Johnson.

In total, the Rams have one third-rounder, one fourth-rounder, one fifth-rounder, three sixth-rounders and two picks in the seventh round.

======= 3, 4, 5, 6(2), 7(2) — 7 total picks. This will be the Rams weakest draft in many years, I assume. Barring some miraculous drafting. The Price for all the successful wheeling and dealing really kicks in this year, I guess. w v

Yeah, last time they had a draft that looked like that, this was all they could muster up out of it.

They already have duplicated it. Looking at 2019-2020, they are one of the best drafting teams in the league. This is cemented by 3 picks in a row in 2019–rounds 5 through 7. If nothing else they are drafting in the lower rounds better than they ever have in their entire history (that’s not hyperbole).

Key:
red for solid to very good starter
blue for developing contributor who has come through
italics for players who have shown something but it is too soon to say, or has good buzz and good promise

2020 2 Cam Akers
2020 2 Van Jefferson
2020 3 Terrell Lewis
2020 3 Terrell Burgess
2020 4 Brycen Hopkins
2020 6 Jordan Fuller
2020 7 Clay Johnston
2020 7 Sam Sloman
2020 7 Tremayne Anchrum

2019 2 Taylor Rapp
2019 3 Darrell Henderson
2019 3 David Long
2019 3 Bobby Evans
2019 4 Greg Gaines
2019 5 David Edwards
2019 7 Nick Scott
2019 7 Dakota Allen

Counting just blue and red picks as hits, that’s x hits out of 17 picks. A hit rate of 47%, which is absolutely golden. All this without a 1st rounder.  If you count only starters, so red picks, it’s 6 of 17, which is 35%. That’s above the average for lower round picks.
