One stat to know about each Rams draft pick in 2026
Get to know the Rams' 2026 draft class with one key stat for each of their five players.
The Los Angeles Rams finished the 2026 NFL Draft with only five selections after trading three picks to the Kansas City Chiefs in March and moving up 10 spots in the sixth round on Saturday. They feel they got five quality players, four of them looking like they could be future starters on offense, with a 327-pound nose tackle being their only pick on defense. It'll take a few years to make a definitive decision about the success of this class but the Rams are encouraged by their haul – as is every other team in the league.
From Ty Simpson to Tim Keenan III, here's one stat to know about each Rams draft pick. Round 1, No. 13 overall: QB Ty Simpson, Alabama He tied for the most big-time throws (30) in college football last season Between Matthew Stafford and Simpson, the Rams will have the NFL leader and college football leader in big-time throws on their roster.
Stafford had by far the most big-time throws last season with 58, 21 more than any other quarterback. Simpson made 30 such throws, which were tied for the most in college football in 2025. That shows Simpson's willingness to fit passes into tight windows and take shots downfield.
Round 2, No. 61 overall: TE Max Klare, Ohio State He’s in the 99. 6th percentile for on-field athleticism score Klare didn't test at the combine or his pro day, but on-field athleticism scores from PFF can give us an idea of just how special he is.
