3 prospects on Day 2 who can help the Rams win now
Heading into Day 2, these three prospects can help the Rams right away.
The Los Angeles Rams chose to prepare for the future, selecting quarterback Ty Simpson in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft. However, they still have pressing needs on their roster. Here are three Day 2 prospects who could answer those needs if selected.
Denzel Boston, WR, Washington A key contributor in former Rams assistant Jedd Fisch's offense, Boston is everything and then some. Boston has 1,000-yard receiver written all over him and could clearly play second fiddle to Puka Nacua, while being able to replace the red zone production of Davante Adams thanks to his height and strong hands. He already understands the scheme, and his biggest question is whether he can separate from defenders.
In a McVay offense, that's not even a question. Colton Hood, CB, Tennessee Hood is a first-round talent who plays a position that several teams did not need to invest first-round capital in. Hood is wickedly fast.
It's actually a bit disturbing how fast he flies to the ball. A handsy corner, which typically isn't a good trait, Hood does well to avoid penalties, as long as he cleans up his operation once he gets NFL coaching. To be honest, he's playing the wrong position.
