The Los Angeles Rams addressed several needs during the 2026 NFL draft.
The Rams emphasized the offensive side of the ball, making up the majority of their draft class, using their first four picks on offense.
The Rams fell just one game short of their Super Bowl aspirations last season.
Los Angeles came up just short and lost to the Seattle Seahawks 31-27 in the NFC Championship Game, leaving part of the fan base believing they would add a player early in the draft who could contribute early in the upcoming season.
Instead, Los Angeles provided one of the biggest surprises of the draft with the selection of Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson in the first round with the 13th overall pick.
The Rams finished out their five-pick draft class with just one defensive selection, opting not to address the need at cornerback.
Here’s an early look at the Rams’ depth draft with the inclusion of the incoming rookies who were selected.
QB: Matthew Stafford, Stetson Bennett IV, Ty Simpson*,
RB: Kyren Williams, Blake Corum, Ronnie Rivers, Jarquez Hunter
WR: Puka Nacua, Jordan Whittington, Mario Williams, Tyler Scott
TE: Colby Parkinson, Tyler Higbee, Terrance Ferguson, Max Klare*
NT: Poona Ford, Ty Hamilton, Tim Keenan III*, Bill Norton
LCB: Jaylen Watson, Emmanuel Forbes Jr., Cam Lampkin
SS: Kamren Kinchens, Jaylen McCollough, Nate Valcarcel
KR: Jordan Whittington, Ronnie Rivers, Xavier Smith, Blake Corum
The Rams did not draft a cornerback throughout the seven-round NFL Draft. While the Rams are likely to look for a more experienced option to round out the roster closer to the season, the team can continue to explore the undrafted free agent market for depth.
Houston cornerback Latrell McCutchin Sr. would've been an option to consider, but he has already signed with the Tennessee Titans.
