HERMOSA BEACH — The Rams added some depth to their secondary to close out the second day of the NFL draft, selecting Miami safety Kamren Kinchens with the penultimate pick of the third round.
Kinchens, the 99th overall pick in the draft, had 59 total tackles and five passes defended in each of his final two seasons with the Hurricanes. He totaled 11 interceptions as a sophomore and junior. He was a first-team Associated Press All-American in 2022.
He joins a safety room that lost both starters from last season. Captain Jordan Fuller signed with the Carolina Panthers, while John Johnson III remains a free agent. The Rams signed Kamren Curl to a one-year deal to add to the room, which also returns Russ Yeast and the versatile Quentin Lake.
