Rams' Early Draft Pick Buzz

0:00On April 23rd, the Los Angeles Rams are rolling into the 2026 NFL Draft with a roster that's already Super Bowl ready. They kept most of their squad from last season's NFC title game run and Snag studs like Trent McDuffie and Jalen Watson. Tonight they hold the 13th overall pick in the first round, their highest spot since jumping to number 1 back in 2016. That 13th pick came from a trade with Atlanta, putting the Rams on the clock earlier than they've been in years. The draft kicks off at 8 p.m. Eastern time on Thursday night and with the league now giving just 8 minutes per first round selection instead. Of 10, things will move fast. Fans are buzzing because this spot lines up right after teams like Las Vegas, the Jets, Arizona, Tennessee and the Giants. Last year, the dolphins didn't pick at 13 until 9.34 p.m. But shorter clocks mean the Rams should hear their name called around. 9.10 p.m. Eastern time. This early selection gives Las Angeles a shot at top talent to plug any gaps and push harder for that ring.

1:04Their full draft order includes later picks, but Kansas City jumps them at 29 from a previous deal, keeping the entry high. Expect fireworks as the Rams build on their momentum tune in tonight and see who they grab to elevate this powerhouse even further.
