Draft buzz: The first 12 picks

The 2026 NFL Draft is in less than 48 hours and the picture of what could happen before the L.A. Rams are on the clock at pick 13 is becoming a little bit more clear. Although nothing is more than a rumor at this point, the consensus on what is expected to happen in the […]

How Rams stand to benefit from draft’s eventual run on tackles

The 2026 NFL Draft class is one of the more unique groups we’ve seen. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and some will see this in a positive light and others would flat out say this is not a great year in terms of the overall talent. The class has blue chip talent. […]

Will the Rams be on the receiving end of the 2026 draft?

Entering the 2026 season, there are three questions concerning the Los Angeles Rams wide receiver room. One, Is the drama surrounding Puka Nacua something to worry about?

Former Rams quarterback traded to a St. Louis team

New NFL draft time limit benefits fans, not GMs

The Los Angeles Rams will have less time on the clock during the 2026 NFL draft thanks to the new time limit. This new change only benefits fans and puts the league’s 32 general managers under more pressure to make the correct pick. Beginning with this year’s draft in Pittsburgh, teams will have only eight […]

Kadyn Proctor’s stock rising into Rams range

Alabama tackle Kadyn Proctor has been a tricky draft evaluation for some, at times rising because of his unique blend of size, length, and hands, but the former 5-star recruit is also not as dominant you might expect of an offensive lineman over 6’6 and 350 lbs. However, in a weak draft class that some […]

L.A. Rams News: 49ers secure Trent Williams before NFL Draft

The San Francisco 49ers are officially expected to have Trent Williams at least for the the next season, if not longer.

Tackling the Rams defensive interior in the draft

With the Los Angeles Rams defensive interior coming off a stellar year and the whole group returning intact, identifying early round defensive tackles could be on the L.A. braintrust’s back burner.

Whether it’s trading up for a targeted […]

Jimmy Garoppolo considering retirement over Rams

Jimmy Garoppolo could choose to retire this year rather than return for a third season as the Rams backup quarterback, according to Ian Rapoport.

Puka Nacua out of rehab, back in Rams program

Puka Nacua checked into rehab earlier this year and his lawyer said at the time that he had no plans to leave until he was ready to go and Monday’s report that the star receiver is present at the Rams facility implies that he’s ready. Gary Klein of The LA Times reported on Monday that […]

How far can Rams trade down and draft Ty Simpson?

If the Los Angeles Rams want to leave day one of the draft with a quarterback to develop behind Matthew Stafford, rarely do we ever have such a clear consensus of the single option on the board: Alabama’s Ty Simpson. After Fernando Mendoza goes first, the Simpson watch begins at 2 and possibly lasts all […]

Predicting the next 5 seasons for the Rams and the NFL

There’s something uniquely fun about trying to see the future of the NFL before it happens.

The Los Angeles Rams will have the 13th overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft, their highest selection since the 2016 draft.

The Rams’ worst draft moments since 2000

The Los Angeles Rams (formerly the St. Louis Rams for much of this period) have experienced their share of draft-day highs but since 2000, several picks have lingered as cautionary tales. Whether due to injuries, poor fit, or unmet expectations, these selections still stand out as some of the most painful misfires in franchise history. […]

The worrisome implication of the Dexter Lawrence trade

The Los Angeles Rams didn’t make an offer for Dexter Lawrence that we know of, but even if they had dangled the 13th overall pick to the New York Giants for him the answer still would have been “No”. Not even the 13th overall pick in 2026 draft for Lawrence. That says more about the […]

To a man, the Los Angeles Rams safety unit are all on board for 2026. New money was doled to primary starters Quentin Lake and Kamren Curl, locking them through 2028.

Going into the week of the 2026 NFL Draft, a lot of good teams have a bad need at guard, which is why so many of them could be drafting offensive line help on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. However, one of several problems with drafting a guard to start in 2026 is that many of […]
