Wide receiver<\/p>\n
The current NFL consensus tells us the Rams are intent on finding a pass catcher with their first round pick. The board may not necessarily fall that way if both of Carnell Tate and Makai Lemon are selected in the top 12. There also figures to be ample talent available in the second round. Are the Rams willing to be patient in order to find more of a bargain one round later?<\/p>\n

The talent pool at receiver is like picking your favorite flavor of ice cream. There\u2019s something out there for everyone. In the names listed above, you have the option of the 6-51 198 lbs. Brazzell or Branch at 5-10, 177 lbs. Each obviously would bring a much different skillset to Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
The name that shines the brightest to me is Chris Bell. Bell suffered an ACL injury in November and may not be available at the start of the 2026 season. He\u2019s somewhat of a slant merchant. He\u2019s most effective in the underneath passing game and then does his best work running after the catch. Bell is one of the most impressive players in the draft class in this regard and is built like a running back similar to Deebo Samuel. Can Bell develop into more of a vertical receiving threat?<\/p>\n
EDGE<\/p>\n
The Rams found a gem in Josaiah Stewart in the third round last year. Could they go back to the well a year later and select his Michigan teammate in Derrick Moore? LA will soon need to pay Byron Young or make a decision for him to possibly play elsewhere. You can never have too many EDGE rushers nor futureproof in excess.<\/p>\n

Gabe Jacas is a personal favorite of mine. I doubt he will make it to the Rams at #61 but we can dream. Would another power rusher overlap too much with Jared Verse?<\/p>\n

Gennings Dunker has the best hair of the entire draft class. Los Angeles has one year left on RT Warren McClendon\u2019s deal. Would they want to draft his replacement a year early instead of paying two tackles on long-term deals? We haven\u2019t seen the Rams draft a tackle in the second round since Joe Noteboom.<\/p>\n
Secondary<\/p>\n
We know the Rams have rebuilt their cornerback room; however, there is simply more work to be done from a pure numbers perspective. The only current players on the roster at this position are Trent McDuffie, Jaylen Watson, Emmanuel Forbes, Cam Lampkin, Alex Johnson, and Josh Wallace. It\u2019s a matter of when not if the Rams decide to draft a corner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I understand the excitement surrounding the Los Angeles Rams having the 13th pick in this month\u2019s NFL Draft.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":861898,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2079],"tags":[254,228,55516,1214,42130,51690,65436,1705,38604,49569,25172,7190,7,23926,34761,26718,4728,723,4725,1029,3417,4814,9616,1451,31421,1014,58,2444,2611,216,6,15,424,526,3416,4223,33452],"class_list":{"0":"post-861897","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles-rams","8":"tag-atlanta-falcons","9":"tag-bengals","10":"tag-bloomington","11":"tag-byron-young","12":"tag-cam-lampkin","13":"tag-chris-bell","14":"tag-chris-brazzell","15":"tag-deebo-samuel","16":"tag-derrick-moore","17":"tag-domonique-orange","18":"tag-eli-stowers","19":"tag-emmanuel-forbes","20":"tag-football","21":"tag-gabe-jacas","22":"tag-gennings-dunker","23":"tag-germie-bernard","24":"tag-illinois-fighting-illini","25":"tag-in","26":"tag-indiana-hoosiers","27":"tag-jared-goff","28":"tag-jared-verse","29":"tag-jaylen-watson","30":"tag-joe-noteboom","31":"tag-josaiah-stewart","32":"tag-josh-wallace","33":"tag-los-angeles","34":"tag-los-angeles-rams","35":"tag-losangeles","36":"tag-losangelesrams","37":"tag-miami","38":"tag-nfl","39":"tag-nfl-draft","40":"tag-rams","41":"tag-tennessee","42":"tag-the-rams","43":"tag-trent-mcduffie","44":"tag-zachariah-branch"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/861897","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=861897"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/861897\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/861898"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=861897"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=861897"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=861897"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
