Rams leave no stone unturned in ESPN’s 7-round mock
The Rams can add pieces to a lot of different positions on the roster in the 2026 NFL draft.
The Los Angeles Rams have many options in the 2026 NFL Draft. They'll need to address some positions, but the question of when to do so will be the one general manager Les Snead and head coach Sean McVay will have to answer. ESPN's Jordan Reid took a crack at all seven rounds with less than a week to go before the draft begins and went on a pretty standard route for the Rams.
He shored up perhaps the shallowest position on the roster first before adding pieces to almost every other part of the team. Here is ESPN's latest seven-round mock draft: Round 1, Pick No. 13: WR Makai Lemon, USC The Rams' roster is pretty stout, but there is a need at receiver alongside Davante Adams and Puka Nacua.
Lemon is a reliable and competitive target who would be an ideal fit in Sean McVay's scheme. He had 79 receptions for 1,156 yards and 11 touchdowns last season, but what was most impressive was his 21 forced missed tackles (14th among FBS receivers). Matthew Stafford would love Lemon's YAC ability and sure-handedness (one drop).
Round 2, Pick No. 61: LB/S Kyle Louis, Pittsburgh The Rams need more speed at linebacker, and Louis is an interchangeable defender who played both outside linebacker and strong safety in college. He shines in coverage, as he can cover in the slot.
