Best memes and tweets from fans reacting to Rams drafting Jared Verse

The Los Angeles Rams spent their first Round 1 pick in nearly a decade on Florida State EDGE Jared Verse. This helps give their defense some juice after Aaron Donald retired in the offseason and the Seminole had 9.0 sacks and 12.5 tackles for loss during the 2023 season.

With the pick in the books, how is social media reacting to the Rams' first pick in the first round in eight years?

The Rams are picking FSU OLB Jared Verse - a rare combination of massive need and one of their favorite players in the class. They were prepared to potentially trade out but the board fell uniquely - luck helps. Their first first-round pick since 2016, and a defensive player.

With a record-breaking 14 offensive players taken to start the draft, the board fell spectacularly for the Rams. Verse typically probably isn't sitting there for the taking at 19 but a heavy run on offensive players helped make this a reality for LA.

Cue the flame emojis!

FSU saw Jared Verse at Albany because it was scouting upcoming opponent Syracuse and saw this Albany DE flashing big time

Verse blew up in weight room in 2020 during shutdown after redshirting in 2019

Seriously, top-20 NFL pick redshirted at Albany

Awesome story
