Rams Draft Love for Offensive Boost

On March 24th, the Los Angeles Rams are pushing all in again this offseason for the 2026 season

with quarterback Matthew Stafford, nearing the end of his career.

After two straight years losing to Super Bowl champs, the front office traded their 29th overall

draft pick for quarterback Trent McDuffie and spent big and free agency. Now heading into the draft,

they have no major roster holes, giving them real flexibility to grab the best talent available.

That sets up an interesting spot at their 13th overall pick and what looks like a thin draft class

up top. Only a handful of elite prospects stand out, including linebacker sunny styles,

safety Caleb Downs, and running back Jeremiah Love all projected as, top 10 selections,

positional priorities might let one slide, especially Love, since teams like the giants and

commanders rarely take running backs that high. Rams fans and analysts see the appeal in Love,

despite a solid backfield duo of Kyron Williams and Blake Corm, who rushed for nearly 2000.

Yards and 16 touchdowns last season at almost five yards per carry. Their offensive line was the

NFL's best at run blocking, but the team lacks that true home run threat they had with Todd

Gurley back in 20. 18. Love brings explosive speed, top-end burst and receiving skills out of the

backfield, much like Gurley who dominated as the league's offensive player of the year. He could

turn those 10-yard gains into 40 Yarders and fit right into Sean McBae's scheme, even as a

luxury addition that might cut into Corms. Roll or lead to a trade. With Stafford's timeline short,

drafting a playmaker like Love could supercharge the offense now, blending immediate impact with long

term pieces for another title run.
