The first quarter of the 2024 season has not been kind to the Rams. A rash of injuries, decimating the offensive line and receiving corps, have lead to a 1-3 record through four games. On the plus side rookie defensive linemen Jared Verse and Braden Fiske have picked up where they left off at Florida State, pushing the pocket and creating pressure, though they have just one sack each so far.
The larger problem for the Rams has been the offensive line. LT Alaric Jackson returned from suspension, but interior linemen Jonah Jackson and Steve Avila remain on IR. With Jackson in the final year of his contract, the Rams could eye his replacement early in the draft.

Wyatt Milum is flying a bit under the radar in a strong OT class. Milum is technically sound and plays with a fierce edge that should fit well in the Rams offense. He has experience on both the left and right side so even if the Rams find the funds to keep Jackson at LT, Milum would be a worthy heir to Rob Havenstein spot on the right side.
