The Rams could have their pick of WR at No. 13 in the 2026 NFL draft.

The overwhelming speculation surrounding the No. 13 overall pick is that the Los Angeles Rams will take a receiver. Which one, though, remains to be seen, as experts differ on fit and hierarchy for the position in the 2026 draft class.

The Rams might get lucky, though, and have their pick of the litter at No. 13. And FOX Sports' Eric Williams thinks they'll select Indiana receiver Omar Cooper Jr.

with their first-round selection. Cooper isnโ€™t the most polished route runner, but heโ€™s physical at the catch point and can consistently make the first defender miss after the catch. Cooper is also a willing blocker and those are attributes Sean McVay values at the receiver position.

The Rams have one of the best receiver coaches in the business in Eric Yarber, and he can improve Cooper as a route runner. With the off-field issues with Puka Nacua, Cooper provides the Rams with a receiver who has a similar skill set as insurance. Cooperโ€™s 20 receiving touchdowns over the last two seasons also stand out.
