Dane Brugler Ranks Rams' 2026 Draft Class 30th

0:00On April 27, Dane Brugler, from the Athletic, just dropped his rankings for every NFL team's 2026 draft class, and he put the Rams at 30th out of 32. Only the Broncos and Jaguars landed lower, so yeah, not a glowing review for Los Angeles. He called safety Kamari Simpson, his favorite Rams pick overall, even though he wasn't sold on grabbing him at 13th overall. Brugler sees a real shot for Simpson to develop into a solid starter down the line, but it was a reach in his eyes. Rams fans and analysts had high hopes for that 13th pick since the team's sitting pretty as a super bowl favorite next season. They wanted someone to contribute right away to chase that ring, and while Simpson gives quarterback insurance, he might not see the field as a rookie. Brugler did highlight six-round wide receiver CJ Daniels as a potential surprise who could carve out early snaps with his skill set, even if he lacks that elite trait. He'll circle back in a few years to judge this class, but keep an eye on Simpson in

1:01training camp and preseason this summer. That's where it'll start, to take shape.
