Rams' Day 3 Draft Strategy: Line Gold

0:00On April 23rd, the Los Angeles Rams head into the 2026 NFL draft with seven picks starting at number 13 overall. Fans hype up day one, but General Manager Les Snees' real genius shines on day three, where he snags overlooked offensive linemen who turn into starters. This year, he's eyeing six big bodies to beef up the trenches for the yellow and blue. Sneed's track record speaks volumes. Since hiring Sean McVey in 2017, the Rams have missed playoffs just twice, often thanks to those. Late-round steals who bring heart and hustle. While other GM's coast, Sneed dives deep into film, spotting passion that coaching can polish into pros. Rams fans know the drill. They three gems provide depth and rotation, keeping the line fresh amid injuries. These prospects fit L.A.'s mold-massive frames from six foot five up with power and versatility, even if they need tweaks in past pro or run-blocking. Standouts include Arizona State's Max Aheonakor, a six-foot six B's to Michael early-round two, Texas A&M's Demetrius crown over with his tight, and athleticism, and Miami's Markle Bell, a pocket protector with NBA size.

1:13Like Kentucky's Jalen farmer, Boise State's Cage Casey and Washington's Carver Willis offer swing potential at tackle or guard. Sneed won't fix with unbroken. Expect him to load up on these day three warriors, turning draft scraps into line gold that keeps the Rams contending. Year after year.
