0:00On April 25, the Los Angeles Rams kicked off day two of the 2026 NFL draft by grabbing Titan Max Claire from Ohio State with their second round pick, number 61 overall. This move adds another weapon to their offense, especially with Matthew Stafford still slinging it downfield. Claire transferred to the Buckeyes last season after three years at Purdue, where he posted 43 catches for 448 yards and two scores across 14 games. Now he joins a crowded Titan room with vets like Colby Parkinson and Tyler Higby to mentor him early. Fans and analysts see this as a smart long-term play, giving Rams coach Sean McVeigh options to mix in multiple Titan sets right away. It could juice up the passing attack, even if Claire needs reps to break through initially. Draft grades landed around a B for solid potential. Earlier in the draft, the Rams snag quarterback Ty Simpson from Alabama at pick 13 in the first round. Trading from Atlanta, plus an offensive. Lime and Keegan trozed from Missouri in round three.

1:04They still hold four seventh round picks to round out the class. With seven total selections locked in, the Rams are building depth across the board, setting up for competitive push as Stafford's crew reloads for, another run.
