Rams Draft Depth, Skip Splash Players

0:00On April 25th, the Los Angeles Rams are going all in on depth in this 20-26 NFL mock draft, picking backups across the first three rounds on a roster built to win now. They snag quarterback Ty Simpson first overall, Titan Max Clare in Round 2, and Missouri Tackle Keegan Trust in Round 3 none expected to. Start next year. With four-day three selections starting at Pick 207, they're skipping big splash plays in their Super Bowl push. Earlier, Pick showed their wide receiver obsession, and now, in Round 6 at 2-7, they add Texas Tech's Reggie Virgil. He's a deep threat, with strong hands for contested catches, and special teams chops, rounding out the receiver room nicely. Meanwhile, the Rams keep their nine-year streak of drafting running backs alive in Round 7 at 232 with Alabama's Jam Miller. This physical back excels in past pro and special teams, positioning him as a depth piece behind Jarkas Hunter, maybe even challenging for more.

1:00Snaps. They double down on defense late, grabbing UCLA defensive Tackle Gary Smith III at 251. He's an old-school run-stuffer with a strong anchor, perfect for short-yarded situations, fitting their love for battle-tested vets. Then at 252, local kids Sire Wright, from Nebraska, joins as a cornerback. Fluid and versatile insider out, he adds much-needed depth to a thin secondary. This draft screams long-term stability over instant stars, setting the Rams up for sustained contention.
