One such problem is the succession plan at the quarterback position. Even as veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford earned MVP honors, the team must define a succession plan for the ever-vital quarterback role.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cThis year\u2019s incoming class of quarterback prospects is not drawing much excitement aside from Fernando Mendoza, who is expected to be the first overall pick. So while the Rams likely won\u2019t be clamoring to select a quarterback in the first round, they could certainly do their homework on the signal-callers who could hear their name called in the other six rounds, which includes Cade Klubnik out of Clemson.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/rams\/onsi\/los-angeles-way-too-early-2026-power-rankings\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Rams <\/a>will bring back the core guys next season as they look to be better next season. Head coach Sean McVay and general manager Les Snead will look to put together a roster that is better than the one they had last season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">This team does have holes on its roster, and getting the right fits will go a long way toward getting back to the NFC Championship game and winning the Super Bowl in their own Stadium once again. It will all be on the Rams to make it happen.\u201c<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When it comes to succession, people are usually talking about the Roy family, or who will be the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":747238,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2079],"tags":[7,1014,58,4200,2444,2611,6,424],"class_list":{"0":"post-747237","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles-rams","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-los-angeles","10":"tag-los-angeles-rams","11":"tag-los-angeles-rams-news","12":"tag-losangeles","13":"tag-losangelesrams","14":"tag-nfl","15":"tag-rams"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116058312177964044","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/747237","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=747237"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/747237\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/747238"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=747237"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=747237"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=747237"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
