The Los Angeles Rams came so close to making the Super Bowl this past season. With Matthew Stafford set to return, postponing retirement for at least a year, the Rams can go all-in for the 2026 season.
After free agency and a blockbuster trade, the NFL Draft is a great chance for the Rams to further go all-in. They have some premium picks to do so as well.
Les Snead and Sean McVay are ready to make some splashes during the draft, starting with the 13th overall selection on night one. But, they have a lot of other picks on Days 2 and 3 as well.
The Sporting News tracked each of the Rams' 2026 NFL Draft selections, from the first through the seventh round.
The Rams haven't made a pick in the 2026 draft just yet, but they own seven following selections coming into the NFL Draft:
While the Rams could go a few different routes with this pick, drafting USC wide receiver Makai Lemon makes a ton of sense.
He's often been the pick in mock drafts leading up to the draft, and for good reason. He's a dynamic WR, and would be a great fit with the current WR room, and is also likely to be on the board at 13th overall.

Wide Receiver depth: Puka Nacua and Davante Adams might be the best WR duo in the NFL, but after those two, the Rams could use some help. With plenty of WR options throughout the draft, expect the Rams to address WR at some point by the end of the 2026 NFL Draft
Offensive Tackle: While not the biggest need, the Rams might be looking to upgrade over Warren McClendon Jr. in the draft, and an offensive tackle might be a worthwhile pick for the Rams. Trench help is normally never a bad idea, though this position might be best suited for after Round 1 for the Rams.
Quarterback: Matthew Stafford is back, but Jimmy Garoppolo is considering retirement, and the Rams could still use another backup to develop for a year. They've shown interest in Ty Simpson, though he's not likely to be a first-rounder for the Rams. Round 2 or later is when QB for L.A. is more likely to be the pick
Anthony Richardson would be perfect trade target for Rams to develop behind Matthew Stafford
