NFL analyst thinks OL prospect is a great fit for Rams
The Rams could look at building a long-term plan at center in the 2026 draft.
Offensive line isn't a clear need for the Los Angeles Rams , but there are some who believe the team should invest in the position at some point in the 2026 NFL draft to shore up one of the most important positions in the game. While the Rams might not use their No. 13 overall pick on a lineman, there will be plenty of other opportunities to add depth throughout the draft.
Whether or not they do remains to be seen, but The Athletic's Scott Dochterman believes Iowa center Logan Jones would be a great fit for L. A. if they went in that direction.
Jones (6-3, 299) has the measurables that will give some teams pause, especially those who prefer mass and power at the point of attack. Plus, as a pure center, Jones has limited position flexibility. But what he does well, he does at a high level.
As a four-year starter at Iowa, Jones followed his predecessor, Tyler Linderbaum, in moving from defensive line and built a similarly sterling career as a first-team All-American. Jones, however, is faster than Linderbaum — his 4. 90-second 40-yard dash was the seventh fastest ever recorded by a center at the combine, just behind Jason Kelce.
