While the Los Angeles Rams would prefer to exchange from the first round and ensure more draft selections, two are needed for tango. And it is possible that there is no player that the teams covet enough to exchange where the Rams feel. Then, the GM Les Snead and the chief coach Sean McVay could have to stick and choose at number 26.
Last season, the Rams grabbed several key players who contributed as rookies, including Jared Fresh edge, the Braden Fiske defensive Tackle, the Kam Kinchens security, the offensive liner Beaux Limmer and the kicker Joshua Karty. Adding another solid draft route could help McVay & Co. in his persecution to return to the Super Bowl.
Together with that, the Rams must think of adding a development of the development field behind Matthew Stafford, who is 37 years old and enters his 17th NFL season.
Let’s take a look at the simulated draft seven rounds of the Rams.
Ronda 1, No. 26 In general: Mason Taylor, te, Lsu
While selecting a receiver like Emeka Egbuka, Matthew Golden or Luther Burden III is an option here to replace the deceased KUPP KUPP, grabbing a closed wing of three descendants underwent the position for the future also makes sense. Son of the defensive wing of the Hall of Fame Jason Taylor and nephew of the supporter of the Hall of Fame Zach Thomas, Taylor has a pedigree of the NFL and understands what is needed to succeed at this level. They are sacrificed by solid hands, good speed (4.64 seconds of 40 yards) and is a blocker arranged. And with Tyler Higbee, 32, in the last year of his agreement, Taylor would create a succession plan in the closed wing.

The non -deceived rookie agent, Omar Speights, emerged as a productive player in the middle of the defense of the last season. And the Rams brought back veteran Troy Reeder, a reliable supporter who knows his defensive system well. But Los Angeles lost Christian Roeboom and Jake Hummel in free agency. Stutsman would bring explosiveness, instincts and production to the second level behind one of the best emerging defensive lines of the league.
A former receiver who made the transition to the defense, the 6 -feet goalkeeper 3 and 200 pounds is a range of rank that can find the ball on the defenses of the area. The Rams played the coverage of the area 74% of the time last season, according to the next generation statistics, 13th more in the League. They need a young corner to develop behind the head veterans Dearious Williams and Ahkello Witherspoon, both in their 30 years. With five blocked kicks at the university, Porter would also contribute to special equipment.
The Rams take their perspective as a development field with an early selection of day 3 here. McCord was very productive in Syracuse, leading the nation of passing. It is necessary, launches in advance and prosper in the McVay scheme due to its ability to make an expert offensive. However, his lack of movement skills at the next level could be a concern.
With the 32 -year -old right backle Rob Havenstein entering the last year of his agreement and the left Tackle Alaric Jackson fighting with injuries last season, the Rams could use in the offensive Tackle. With 6 feet 6 and 334 pounds, Williams has a good size to develop as a future holder on guard or Tackle.
The RAMS receiver coach Eric Yarber played in Idaho and has done a good job when finding raw diamonds of the happy schools on the west coast, including Kupp and Puka Nacua. Like those two players, Nash did not have a burning time in the 40 -yard race with a time of 4.57 seconds. However, with 6 feet 3 and 203 pounds, Nash play physical as a blocker and would be a good adjustment as a resistant blocking receiver.
A three -year starter for Hilltoppers, Naughty sacrifices versatility with his ability to play the tragamoneas defender and perimeter. He finished his university career with six interceptions and 21 pass ruptures. The Rams allowed 29 TouchDowns to pass in 2024, tied in fifth place in the league.
Son of the former Bowling player of the NFL Chris Hinton, Myles played in an offensive based on the race in Michigan and has experience in the right and left Tackle, so there is a schematic versatility in his game. Hinton only had a penalty in two seasons for the Wolverines.
