The NFL drafts first two days are done, and the Rams grab some depth pieces without any instant stars. But day three is where a general manager less needs shines, like when he snagged wide receiver Puka Nakua in the fifth round and safety Quentin Lakin. The sixth. Eyes are on sleepers at cornerback, wide receiver, and linebacker who could fit right in. Rams fans know the team loves versatile defensive backs and efficient tacklers. As like cornerbacks, Jermad McCoy from Tennessee and Chandler Rivers from Duke, Master Mold, while linebacker Aiden Fisher from Indiana brings, that run-stopping grit they crave. They've got a track record of turning late picks into contributors. That said, knee issues have burned them before, like cutting Todd Gurley over arthritis and passing on Ernest Jones. It might keep McCoy off the board despite his talent. Meanwhile, versatile corners like Jadon Canadian stand out for their flexibility across the secondary. Some real surprises could still be there, like Miami's Kianta Scott, a top-run defender

who slid due to slot-only limits or Arizona State's Keith, Abney with his inside-out skills. At wide receiver, C.J. Daniels and Reggie Virgil might not last long if the Rams hunt for speed. Keep watching for dark throws, like Indiana's Elijah Sarat, a clutch receiver, or Texas safety. Michael Teyaffee and Michigan's Jimmy Roller for Special, Teams Upside, Day 3 could reshape the roster just like before. That's the story for today.
