The NFL offseason is starting to gain steam.

Free agency is just a week away, and teams are starting to make decisions on their rosters — as evidenced by the Arizona Cardinals moving on from Kyler Murray and Trey Hendrickson bidding farewell to Cincinnati on social media after it was announced the Bengals would not be franchise tagging the 31-year-old edge rusher.

The NFL scouting combine finished up over the weekend. We saw players such as Oregon tight end Kenyon Sadiq and Arkansas QB Taylen Green boost their draft stock with record-breaking performances, and we saw others — such as Miami edge rusher Rueben Bain Jr.’s arm length measurements — come up a bit short.

And with all that also comes a fresh batch of mock drafts from across the football media landscape. The Los Angeles Rams are in prime position to swing big with multiple first round picks for the first time since they were in St. Louis, but will they?

2026 Rams mock draft roundupUSA TODAY Sports: WR Denzel Boston, WashingtonESPN: TE Kenyon Sadiq, OregonNFL.com: WR Makai Lemon, USCBleacher Report: CB Jermod McCoy, TennesseeCBS Sports: CB Colton Hood, Tennessee

USA TODAY Sports: “LA had the league’s No. 1 passing game in 2025 – in large part due to Puka Nacua’s heroics. But Davante Adams, 33, was the only other productive wideout and battled injuries late in the season and is only under contract for one more year. Boston (6-4, 212) is the kind of supersized red-zone target (20 TD catches since 2024) and boundary receiver who could provide an easy transition from Adams while perfectly complementing Nacua.” — Nate Davis

CBS Sports: “The Rams need to bolster their secondary, and Hood is a physical, ultra-competitive press-man specialist with elite perimeter run-support skills.” — Ryan Wilson

USA TODAY Sports: “An organization that hasn’t had multiple first-round picks since 2014 is in the enviable position of bolstering the roster around QB Matthew Stafford in a bid to make up just a bit of ground on the Super Bowl champion Seahawks … or maybe use some of that capital on a successor for Stafford. Simpson might be that guy even though injuries and inconsistency – including an atypically weaker Crimson Tide roster – caused him to tail off after a strong start in 2025.

“With only 15 college starts, landing in a spot where he could sit and watch for a year or two – or three – while absorbing first-class tutelage would be hugely beneficial.” — Nate Davis

ESPN: “If we’re going strictly by talent, McCoy is a top-10 prospect in this class. But he hasn’t played a game since 2024, missing all of last season after suffering an ACL tear in January 2025. We’re still not sure where he’s at in his recovery, as he did not participate in testing or drills at the combine.

“This gives the Rams — who haven’t drafted a corner in the first round since 2006 or before Day 3 since 2019 — the potential to get a steal here. McCoy is an easy mover who has squeaky-clean technique. All eyes will be on Tennessee’s pro day on March 31, when McCoy is expected to participate in a full workout.” — Jordan Reid
