One would assume that if a team meets with a player, then they have some interest or intrigue in said player, but it doesn\u2019t mean they will draft them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">You can see who the Rams recently and reportedly met with below.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">When it comes to the NFL Draft, every little bit of information can be news. I am not sure there is a bigger or more talked about draft in sports.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">We made it. Friday. Get through today and the weekend awaits.

But if you are looking for any hints, clues, or bread crumbs as to who the Los Angeles Rams may be targeting in Round 1 of the 2026 NFL Draft, look no further. NFL analyst <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/_RyanFowler_\/status\/2027047017415856294\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Ryan Fowler reports the first formal meeting <\/a>between LA and a top rookie prospect.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">It seems that the Horns are meeting with LSU defensive back Mansoor Delane. Of course, Los Angeles is one of nine NFL teams meeting with Delane. Five of those teams select earlier than LA.\u201c<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cWith the offseason around the corner, the Rams can go out and bolster the cornerback room and attempt to make another Super Bowl run.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cIgbinsun has multiple connections to the Rams, winning a National Championship with assistant Michael Hunter and defensive lineman Ty Hamilton. Igbinosun also immediately addressed the hole at outside cornerback.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cProductive, high-effort safety with three years of starting experience in big games at Alabama and Ohio State,\u201d stated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/prospects\/caleb-downs\/3200444f-5766-2609-e99c-c3f1d8460a62\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Zierlein<\/a>. \u201cDowns is an alpha who brings immense juice on each snap. He\u2019s at his best when deployed near the line as a box safety or big nickel back. He\u2019ll gamble a little bit as a run defender, but he makes more than enough disruptive plays near the line of scrimmage to make up for it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cArguments are valid on both ends&#8230;. I dig the kid but he has injury written all over him. 40 mil a yr for 4 years at 160 mil guaranteed is a high price to pay imo for a wr&#8230;pert near 15% of cap for a guy who wants to retire early&#8230;throw in the injuries and somebody not named Staff tossing passes next yr&#8230;well I would entertain offers but it would have to be a damned good offer&#8230;.Hershel Walker type stuff.\u201d -BubbaKincaid<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The NFL Draft will be here before we know it, and the Los Angeles Rams need to do&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":780109,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2079],"tags":[7,1014,58,4200,2444,2611,6,424],"class_list":{"0":"post-780108","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\/116143258816742191","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/780108","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=780108"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/780108\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/780109"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=780108"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=780108"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=780108"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
