The Rams begin planning for the future at quarterback with this updated first-round projection for the 2024 NFL Draft.
The Los Angeles Rams currently have Matthew Stafford as their franchise quarterback, but is it too early to begin planning for the future at the game’s most important position?
CBS Sports’ 2024 NFL mock draft suggests that the Rams will use their first-round pick to replace Stafford.
Michigan’s J.J. McCarthy is projected to be the Rams’ No. 19 pick, providing them with a talented player. As Stafford nears the end of his impressive career, an understudy could learn from him.
Stafford has been outstanding since joining the Rams in a trade with the Detroit Lions, but he turned 36 this month and has been plagued by injuries. McCarthy is only 21 years old, and while he is not yet a proven passer, he clearly has the potential to develop into a quality starter in the future.
