The Los Angeles Rams made multiple attempts to trade up during the 2024 NFL Draft, targeting tight end Brock Bowers. The Rams initially offered the New York Jets their No. 19 and No. 52 picks to move up to No. 10. Despite persistent efforts, including a subsequent offer of their 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 6th round picks to move up to No. 11, the Jets declined. The Rams also contacted the Minnesota Vikings, who were competing for the Jets' No. 10 pick to select JJ McCarthy. The Rams tried to move up for Murphy after Bowers went off the board. They made an offer to the Colts to get ahead of Seattle. Ultimately, the Rams were unable to secure a higher draft position.

The Rams look desperate, but this makes the Jets look much worse. They could have had 19 (choice of Fautanu, Morgan, Guyton), 52, 99, 129, 157 for 10, 185, and 203. https://t.co/BVXI3l5Mu6
.@DMRussini reported before the start of the first round that Rams T10 trade attempts were believed to be to get Bowers. Like I wrote in “Finding Rams” - the Rams had just three R1 players who came up on their surveys as consensus “make him a Ram”. Verse also one, FWIW. https://t.co/jRpTuBtfSQ
More to this: After the #Jets traded down one spot with the #Vikings, the #Rams got back on the phone with the Jets and offered their 1st, 2nd, and 3rd round picks to move up to No. 11, along with a 6th rounder.

The Rams called the Jets and Vikings about moving up — ostensibly to hop the Raiders for Bowers — but KOC told McVay the Vikes were holding for their guy. Turns out Minny was the Rams’ competition for NYJ’s 1.10 pick. Minnesota’s target? JJ McCarthy. https://t.co/XdGwN9azqa
