How would Spencer Fano change Rams’ future?

The new consensus mock draft pick for the Los Angeles Rams at pick 13 is Utah tackle Spencer Fano. If All-American Fano is still on the board, L.A. might not hesitate to turn in the card for him. How would that change the immediate and long-term future of the Rams? 2026 offensive line Given Fano’s […]

Round-by-round QB draft grades: Who fits the Rams?

Fans of the Los Angeles Rams have their interest piqued by possible moves that the team will make find a backup to QB#1 Matthew Stafford. History hints that it won’t come via the draft. L.A.

L.A. Rams News: Team leaning offensive line?

The Los Angeles Rams may not be able to trade back this NFL Draft, so will the Rams have to take the best player available? If so, could it be an offensive lineman? You check out the link below, Jim Everett has some real takes. Also, I was watching Locked On Rams and they proposed […]

Rams 3-round mock draft

Despite making the blockbuster trade of the NFL offseason—for all-pro corner Trent McDuffie—the Los Angeles Rams still find themselves with a full slate of picks in each of the draft’s first three rounds. LA also has a combined four picks in the final two rounds. We know you pretty much only care about the first […]

Matthew Stafford closing in on pair of all-time Rams records

What does Matthew Stafford have in store for an encore following an MVP campaign? The veteran quarterback could become the Los Angeles Rams’ all-time passing leader, for starters. Through 74 games with the team, Stafford has thrown for 19,407 yards, having passed Jared Goff and Norm Van Brocklin during the 2025 season. He is 4,351 […]

Rams can’t count on being able to trade down in draft

If the Los Angeles Rams hope to fill their void of picks at the start of day three by trading down on day one, they will have to get lucky. Most general managers are smart enough to know that trades are not readily available just because “I want one!” and the math of making a […]

Like father, like Sonny?

Lorenzo Styles was a role player on the 1999 St. Louis Rams and now the franchise has a chance, albeit not an easy one, to draft his superstar son. The Rams might need to trade up for Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles, and he was one of the players who Blaine Grisak highlighted recently as […]

L.A. Rams News: Jared Verse wants to win down under

Jared Verse (see the quotes below) wants to win against the San Francisco 49ers in Australia this season for all the usual reasons, but also because he has some former college teammates on the 49ers, and he wants to beat them across the ocean when L.A. and SF face off later this year down under. […]

Penn State tanked Drew Allar’s draft stock

Drew Allar was once billed as a one of a kind quarterback prospect and the top ranked college recruit in the 2022 class. Penn State did little to develop him and surround him with sufficient talent. Now as we sit less than two weeks out from the 2026 NFL Draft, Allar is still mostly a […]

Stay or Go: 13 Rams that could be playing their last year in LA

The Los Angeles Rams are entering a pivotal stretch as they try to balance competitiveness with long-term roster building. With a mix of veterans, emerging stars, and role players approaching key contract decisions or uncertain futures, the 2026 season could mark the end of the line in L.A. for several names. Here’s a breakdown of […]

There is smoke around Rams and Ty Simpson. Is there fire too?

You shouldn’t believe everything you hear this time of year regarding the NFL Draft and teams’ reported intentions. However, when three separate league insiders join The Rich Eisen Show and connect the Los Angeles Rams to Ty Simpson, you can’t help but notice the smoke. The real question is whether there is fire beneath. Albert […]

Is Puka Nacua destined to receive franchise tag next year from Rams?

The Los Angeles Rams are rapidly approaching one of the most important financial decisions in their current roster build: what to do with superstar wide receiver Puka Nacua. After a historic start to his career, Nacua has outperformed his rookie contract to a degree rarely seen by a fifth rounder in the modern NFL. But […]

Wondering what’s next for Puka Nacua and the Rams?

What’s next for Puka Nacua and the Rams is anyone’s guess, and what a strange journey this young man has had over just the last few months. Before the start of the 2026 calendar year, Puka Nacua had already been through some controversy, and as we roll through 2026, Nacua has added to the drama […]

L.A. Rams News: Fans at the Draft House?

Perhaps the article I am referencing below is mistaken, but apparently the Los Angeles Rams are allowing fans at the Draft House. I don’t think that means fans will get to sit with the coaches and staff to make decisions, but you never know… It’s a neat idea, anyway to sell an experience to the […]

Thank you, Blaine

Give a warm send off to Blaine Grisak, as he’s parting ways with Turf Show Times for another opportunity in sports writing to take the reins for the Rams On SI blog at Sports Illustrated. Blaine’s success in this industry is the easiest sports prediction I could ever make. Shout him out here and/or read […]

Wide receiver a necessity for Rams in NFL draft

The Los Angeles Rams entered the offseason with one of the best one-two punches at wide receiver in the NFL. However, given offseason drama and trade rumors engulfing Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, wide receiver has become a necessity in the upcoming NFL draft. It shouldn’t have come down to this, but it has. Outside […]

Ranking the top 5 positions that “Pick 13” could make immediate impact

As the Los Angeles Rams approach the 2026 NFL Draft holding the No. 13 overall pick, their roster is in a competitive state. While several starting spots are solidified, there are few opportunities where a rookie could step in and make an immediate impact. Based on current roster construction and draft trends, here’s a descending […]

Rams meet with day 2 prospect who could move to WR

Could the Rams draft second round tight ends in back-to-back years and are they going to move him to receiver to fit a need? That was in the rumor mill on Tuesday by Ian Rapoport in regards to Vanderbilt tight end Eli Stowers and a pre-draft visit with the Rams. “While (Stowers) is officially a […]

Who should Rams target in round three of draft?

Do you feel like we’ve talked the Los Angeles Rams’ first round pick to death? The Rams are picking much earlier than usual at 13th overall, so it’s fair that fans are excited about the top pick. With exactly two weeks until the NFL Draft, it’s time to turn our attention past the first round […]

Can Blake Corum capitalize on breakthrough sophomore season?

Second-year Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum had a breakthrough season in 2025 following a lackluster rookie campaign. After being given more opportunities on offense in Year 2, can Corum capitalize on it ahead of this season? His lack of opportunities in his first year in the league is well-documented. He played in all […]

How much of an impact would first-round wide receiver have for Rams?

When it comes to the Los Angeles Rams drafting at the 13th overall pick, the consensus seems to be that they need to draft an impact player at that spot. In terms of position, that player tends to be a wide receiver such as Makai Lemon or Jordyn Tyson. A wide receiver for the Rams […]

L.A. Rams news: If they can’t get Jimmy G, then the draft?

I think that the Los Angeles Rams could wind up with Jimmy Garoppolo by the time the season starts, but if they enter the NFL Draft without Jimmy G, then should they draft one? L.A. doesn’t have to draft a high-end QB, but they could take a later round flyer to challenge Stetson Bennett, and […]

What if the draft leaves Rams no great options?

Mock drafts are getting more dialed in. In many ways the level of difficulty for the Los Angeles Rams to fill their current needs is rising as their apparent targets are climbing in the order. What if we were to build a worst-case scenario through the first 12 picks in order to gauge LA’s options? […]
