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? […]
News broke this week that the Los Angeles Rams were “further along” on a trade for Philadelphia Eagles WR AJ Brown than was previous indicated. We also know based on reporting that the Rams entertained trading away veteran Davante Adams if they would have landed Brown. The Rams probably aren’t done adding wide receivers. Arguably […]
I understand the excitement surrounding the Los Angeles Rams having the 13th pick in this month’s NFL Draft. It’s LA’s highest selection since they took Jared Goff first overall in 2016. The team has been fortunate to win a lot of games in recent years and thanks to the Atlanta Falcons they have returned to […]
The first round of the NFL Draft is a little more than two weeks away but the Los Angeles Rams have already made the first move by trading a pick for Trent McDuffie. Good thing for Les Snead that the Rams still have the 13rh overall pick remaining. Over the in the Turf Show Times […]
The Los Angeles Rams may not need a tackle at 13th overall, but it wouldn’t be surprising to see them take one at some point during the draft. This is an offensive line that has the starting five solidified, but it lacks depth. The Rams need a swing tackle that can either play both sides […]
According to Adam Schefter, the Los Angeles Rams were “further along at one point than people realized” regarding a trade of A.J Brown with the Philadelphia Eagles, but no trade came to fruition. I’ve been taking the approach that the Rams and Eagles had talks about a trade for Brown, but I never knew or […]
The Rams would be better served to draft Omar Cooper Jr. over Jordyn Tyson, according to NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah. Although Tyson is rated higher almost anywhere you look, if not considered the best receiver in the draft in some places, Jeremiah questions his toughness and durability on The Mina Kimes podcast, a YouTube show. […]
The Los Angeles Rams are in a bit of a difficult spot when it comes to the offensive line heading into the 2026 NFL Draft. While they have all five starters solidified, four of the five starters are on the final years of their contracts. In the case of Warren McClendon, the Rams will almost […]
According to the news I am sharing, the Los Angeles Rams have an “interest” in Ty Simpson, but there is a but (plus even the “interest” part in Simpson may be false). The but being that the Rams likely do not want to spend their 13th pick (or higher) on Simpson when they can likely […]
One of the most common picks for the Los Angeles Rams in mock drafts is USC wide receiver Makai Lemon, including Peter Schrager’s mock that made waves around the NFL on Tuesday. According to Underdog Sports’ mock draft analysis tool that we previewed last week, Lemon is a common target for both the Miami Dolphins […]
The story of Peter Schrager’s mock draft isn’t just that the Rams took Makai Lemon, it’s the player who ESPN’s analyst didn’t have L.A. connected to at all. Actually, Schrager doesn’t have any team taking Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson in the first round, a sign that his ESPN colleague Dan Orlovsky’s ploy to drum interest […]
When it comes to the NFL Draft, Los Angeles Rams general manager Les Snead will be active. Whether it’s trading up, trading back, or trading a pick directly for a player, Snead is always looking to make moves. Earlier this week, ESPN’s Bill Barnwell did his ‘all trades’ mock draft in which every pick gets […]
As usual, the Los Angeles Rams draft picks are leaning towards the latter rounds with four of their seven picks, including one in Round 6 and three in Round 7. In L.A.’s case, late round picks are more than just a dart throw. Of the Rams 64 players currently under contract, 44 percent came from […]
Following a run to the NFC Championship, Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay has overtaken Andy Reid in the NFL head coach rankings. That’s according to NBC Sports’ Patrick Daugherty in his April 7 column, who added that McVay is “destined to be remembered as one of the sport’s timeless geniuses.” “The Sean McVay era in Los […]
The Los Angeles Rams don’t just ask their wide receivers to block, but to block a lot. It’s part of their role. It makes me wonder if any rookies would rather not go to L.A. as they’d rather just focus on catching, and not so much blocking. Food for thought. The fact that the Rams […]
For much of the past decade, the Los Angeles Rams have had a near-toxic relationship when it comes to undersized wide receivers. From Tavon Austin to Tutu Atwell, the Rams simply haven’t been able to make the undersized, fast wide receiver work in the offense. With Atwell now out of the picture after leaving in […]
Peter Schrager of ESPN sent his first mock of the draft season out into the world. He used context from his time at the NFL annual meetings to gather information from sources and inform his project first-round picks. Schrager is basing his selections off what he heard from teams and not necessarily personal evaluations or […]
The Los Angeles Rams won’t sign Puka Nacua to an extension until they believe that the All-Pro receiver has matured enough to stop the off-field issues that have marred his character over the past year, according to a report by The Athletic. Which begs to ask the question of the Rams front office and coaching […]
The New York Giants have received a trade request from former All-Pro defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Lawrence wants a better contract and the Giants have not been able to appease that desire for more money, so the defensive tackle wants to go to a team that’s happy to foot the […]
The Los Angeles Rams didn’t sign a backup quarterback in free agency, which means that they could look for one in the 2026 NFL Draft. This may not be a great quarterback class, but that also might mean that the Rams could find good value at 13 or even later in the draft. Throughout the […]
The Los Angeles Rams are going to have many options when they are on the clock during the 2026 NFL Draft. Given the shape that the roster is in, it would be hard to be too upset with whatever the Rams do. That’s a good spot to be in, but also a pressure spot as […]
Few general managers in the modern NFL have built a reputation for uncovering hidden draft value quite like Les Snead. While the Los Angeles Rams have become synonymous with splashy trades and star acquisitions, Snead’s true genius often shows up later in the draft—on Day 2 and Day 3—where roster depth and long-term success are […]
Will the Rams leave the draft with not one, but maybe two receivers out of Texas Tech? Les Snead has shown some interest. The first is Reggie Virgil, a transfer from Miami of Ohio to Texas Tech in 2025 who had 705 yards as a senior with the Red Raiders as they reached the College […]
For the Los Angeles Rams, the NFL Draft is often about calculated gambles. Few teams are more willing to bet on traits, upside, and development than Los Angeles. That mindset could come into play in a major way if Florida Gator defensive lineman Caleb Banks begins to slide into Round 2 due to health concerns […]
The Los Angeles Rams enter the upcoming NFL Draft with a clear objective: strengthen their wide receiver corps. On the surface, adding a single receiver might seem sufficient given the presence of elite talents like Davante Adams and Puka Nacua. However, a deeper look at the roster, offensive philosophy, and long-term outlook suggests that one […]
