The Rams traded up three times on Day 3.<\/p>\n
They began by jumping up 10 picks in the fourth round to select Auburn running back Jarquez Hunter<\/a> 117th overall. Los Angeles then traded into the fifth round to select Ohio State defensive lineman Ty Hamilton<\/a>, and followed that with another fifth-round trade-up for inside linebacker Chris “Pooh” Paul Jr.<\/a>. Finally, they capped the draft by picking wide receiver Konata Mumpfield<\/a> in round seven.<\/p>\n All four of the Rams’ draft picks on Saturday will bring distinct skill sets at different positions to the Rams’ roster, as evidenced by their college production.<\/p>\n Here are five interesting stats from the Rams’ Day 3 draft picks:<\/p>\n \n Hunter was ranked top 10 in the FBS in rushes of both 10 and 15-plus yards in 2024, according to Pro Football Focus<\/p>\n Hunter’s explosiveness will be a welcome addition to a Rams backfield that had the fourth-fewest carries of 10-plus yards last season (37). Meanwhile, Hunter had 42 such rushes (ranking eighth in the FBS) to go along with 27 carries of 15-plus yards (ninth). His career-long explosive run rate (10-plus yards) was the second-best in this year’s draft class.<\/p>\n That speed showed up at the combine as well, where Hunter ran a 4.44 40-yard dash.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Rams traded up three times on Day 3.
