In the past three years, the Los Angeles Rams have used six draft picks on defensive backs, including four cornerbacks, but the position continues to be the greatest need on the defense going into Chris Shula’s first year as defensive coordinator in 2024. Part of the reason for that is simple: The Rams have drafted four cornerbacks and two safeties but none of those picks were made before day three.
Robert Rochell, a fourth round pick and the highest-selected of the bunch, is already off the team. Cobie Durant and Derion Kendrick, the fourth and sixth rounders from 2022, have yet to prove worthy of starting roles next season.
