Every player drafted 69th overall in the last 20 years

After the Los Angeles Rams pick at No. 36 overall in the second round, their next selection will be at No. 69 in the third round. Stars have been drafted 36th overall in the past, including Budda Baker and Deebo Samuel, and the 69th pick has yielded some big-name players, too – including a future Hall of Fame tight end.

There have been five Pro Bowlers selected with the 69th pick and four of them have also been voted All-Pros. That group includes the Rams’ own Cooper Kupp, a first-team All-Pro in 2021 and the Offensive Player of the Year.

Here’s a look at every player drafted 69th overall in the last 20 years dating back to 2003
