Rams' Day Two Draft Picks: Offense or Defense?

0:00On April 24, Rams fans got hit with a curveball on day 1 of the 2026 NFL Draft when the team snagged quarterback Ty Simpson at the reasonable 13th overall pick. It left some scratching their heads, especially after missing out on cornerbacks like McCoy Lemmon or Edge Rushers, such as Ruben Bane Jr. in that first round. Now heading into day 2, the Rams' whole picks at number 61 in 93, with holes to plug a Y receiver, inside linebacker, and offensive tackle depth. General manager Les Sneed loves zigging when others zag, so expect the unexpected as they eye second and third round talent. The roster lacks a solid number 3 receiver to stretch the field, inside linebackers need better coverage and runstuffers beyond Nate Landman and the offensive line craves tackle backups, who can hold up in pass pro. Fans are buzzing online, debating if Sneed will double down on offense or finally beef up the defense after that quarterback reach. Impact could be huge, adding speed a receiver might unlock more big plays for Matthew

Keep an eye on Tennessee Whiteout Chris Brazil the second, with his 6 foot 4 frame and 4.37 speed, or Mississippi's Dizzan, struggling for similar size and elite athleticism in round 3. At linebacker, Cincinnati's Jake Golday brings 105 tackles in top run defense grades, and Pittsburgh's Kyle Lewis offers hybrid sack, artistry with 10 over 2 years, perfect trade targets around those picks. Day 2 kicks off soon, and with Sneed scheming trades, these moves could redefine the Rams roster before the weekend wraps. Stay locked in for how it all shakes out.
