Rams' Draft Priorities: WR, OT, or Trade Back?

0:00On March 23rd, the 2026 NFL Draft is now just one month away, and the Los Angeles Rans priorities are sharpening up. Wide receiver has jumped to the top of their wish list, while cornerback and safety have slid down thanks to recent roster moves. Offensive tackle feels less pressing too, with warm McClendon Jr. stepping a big at right tackle last season. That development eases worries about Rob Havenstein's uncertain future, and opens the door for other needs. Experts are churning out mock drafts daily, and there's no full agreement on the Ram's pick at number 13, or, if they'll trade back. Most projections lean toward wide receiver or offensive tackle, with four mock spavoring receivers and three pointing to tackles. Safety got just one nod, and cornerbacks didn't show up at all. Standouts include USC's McCuy Lemon, as a future option behind Puka Nakua, R is on the state's Jordan Tyson for his route skills, and Indiana's Omar Cooper. Jr. as a versatile slot thread. On the line, Miami's Frances Mauigua, in Georgia's Monroe Freeling, highlight the tackle picks for their past protection.

1:08With free agency additions like Trent McDuffie and Jalen Watson bolstering the secondary, the Ram seems set to boost their passing game or line depth. Early, setting the stage for a competitive push.
