Does a guard make sense with the 13th overall pick?

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 […]

L.A. Rams News: An ‘interest’ in Ty Simpson sure, but a desire?

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 […]

Is Makai Lemon worthy of the 13th overall selection?

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 […]

Clue that Rams aren’t interested in Ty Simpson

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 […]

Would you make this draft day trade?

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 […]

These Day 3 sleepers should entice Rams in draft

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 […]

Sean McVay overtakes top spot in NFL head coach rankings

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 […]

L.A. Rams News: No surprise, McVay’s WRs block a lot

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 […]

Rams can’t make Tutu Atwell mistake with Zachariah Branch

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 […]

Rams pick receiver in mock draft by Schrager

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 […]

Rams would be smarter to trade Puka Nacua than hang in limbo

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 […]

Should Rams make trade offer for Dexter Lawrence?

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 […]

Rams Big Board: Who are the best fits at quarterback?

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 […]

Which Rams Mock Draft is your favorite?

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 […]

Could Landon Robinson be Les Snead’s latest day 2-3 draft hit?

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 […]

Rams meet with 2 Texas Tech receivers

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 […]

Rams may face “risk vs. reward” scenario on Day 2 of NFL Draft

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 […]

Rams draft hot take: Adding one wide receiver is not enough

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 […]

3-round mock draft: Rams focus on defensive line

Drafting Makai Lemon has been a common selection for the Rams in most first round mock drafts, but what could L.A. do on day two? Despite already having one of the most talented young defensive fronts in the league already, perhaps Les Snead will continue to bolster a unit with Jared Verse and Byron Young. […]

L.A. Rams News: The roster is getting ready to change

With the NFL Draft fast approaching, the Los Angeles Rams are preparing to add new players and potentially say goodbye to older ones. It should be an interesting training camp with a tough wide receiver room and cornerback room to go with it. Which players will rise to the top of the depth chart and […]

Waking up to some late round sleepers

As usual, the Los Angeles Rams draft picks are leaning towards the latter rounds. In 2026, it’s four of seven picks, one in Round 6 and three in Round 7 (two of those in the final 10 selections). In L.A.’s case, late round picks are more than just a dart throw. Of the Rams 64 […]

Rams seven-round mock draft from CBS Sports with surprise in the first

CBS Sports and Josh Edwards released a full seven-round NFL mock draft for each team this week. Projected selections for the Los Angeles Rams include some surprises. Who did Edwards give to the Rams? Let’s take a look and I’ll give a few of my own thoughts. Round 1, pick 13 Spencer Fano, OT, Utah […]

The time for Rams to make a QB2 decision is now

The Los Angeles Rams missed out on a backup quarterback option earlier this week when Kirk Cousins signed with the Raiders. With options dwindling, the time for the Rams to make a QB2 decision is now, before it’s too late. All offseason, the team has made it clear that they wanted an experienced passer behind […]

Which team should be Rams second game of the season?

Neither the Los Angeles Rams nor the San Francisco 49ers are happy about the fact that they have to play a game in Australia next season, with Kyle Shanahan even saying that the Rams made sure to drag them through the mud with them after the International schedule was announced. Check out the Rams own […]

L.A. Rams News: Does Jimmy G have leverage on the team?

With Kirk Cousins signing with the Las Vegas Raiders, does Jimmy Garoppolo have any leverage over the Los Angeles Rams? L.A. had been open this week that they were open to adding either Cousins or Jimmy G. at their backup position, and one of those players is no longer an option (outside of a trade). […]
