Brennan Jackson isn’t the only 2024 draft pick the Los Angeles Rams are moving on from this week. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Rams are trading KT Leveston to the Cleveland Browns for a 2028 seventh-rounder.
The Rams selected Leveston in the seventh round last year, so they’re essentially recouping the selection they used on him a year ago.
Leveston was competing for a roster spot at left tackle this summer, playing relatively well in the preseason. He has guard-tackle flexibility, which adds value, and it’s clear the Browns like his potential enough to give up a draft pick for him – even if it’s only a seventh-rounder three years down the line.
The Rams were flush with depth at offensive tackle this summer, making Leveston expendable. Behind Alaric Jackson and Rob Havenstein, they have D.J. Humphries, David Quessenberry and Warren McClendon Jr., who are all likely to make the 53-man roster.
Los Angeles was likely to cut Leveston so getting anything in return for him should be viewed as a win.
Leveston missed his entire rookie season last year with an ankle injury, landing on injured reserve before the season began. The Rams opted not to activate him, so he remained on IR for the entire campaign.
