Rams Draft 2 WRs for Offensive Depth

0:00On April 5th, the Los Angeles Rams are heading into the NFL draft with a mission to beef up their wide receivers, and it's not just about grabbing one. More guy. Even with stars like Devonte Adams and Puka Nakawa lighting it up, the team needs at least two new wideouts to really level up. Coach Sean McVeigh runs that 11 personnel offense, one back, one tied in, three receivers, as his bread and butter, and right now, defenses can just. Key on the top two, and dare the third option to beat them. Stafford's numbers to those third receivers last season were rough. 52 of 87 for 758 yards, two touchdowns, and three picks. Adding death means real competition in camp, better matchups, and keeping the offense humming no matter what. Looking ahead, Adams showed some age in the 2025 season, and might not stick around past 2026, while Nakawa's future contract. Could get pricey amid his off-field noise. The debt behind them, guys like Xavier Smith, with just 303 yards and no scores, ain't proven yet.

1:04This 2026 draft class is stacked at receiver, perfect for snagging young talent on the cheap. Injuries hit hard last year too. Nakawa out a game and a half, Adams over three, and without solid backups, the whole attack gets one-dimensional. Drafting two gives insurance, less than rotate to save wear on the stars, and bills for contention now and later. Bottom line, the Rams can use Adams and Nakawa to mentor these rookies right away, turning potential turnover into smooth transitions by 20. 27. Smart move to strike now, while the group's hot.
