Rams' Secretive Draft Strategy: Low-Key Pro Days & Private Workouts

0:00On March 27, the Los Angeles Rams play their pre-draft process close to the vest. Unlike most NFL teams, they skip official top 30 visits and rarely send general manager less need or coach Sean McVeigh to the scouting combine for, FaceTime with prospects. They focus on low-key pro days and private workouts instead, which helps them stay secretive and avoid signaling their targets. This approach keeps fans guessing about their draft plans, but it fits their history of smart under-the-radar picks that build contenders. So far, confirmed meetings include a private workout with LSU quarterback Garrett Newsmeyer, a combine sit-down with Notre Dame running back Jeremiah, Love, and chats with wider receivers like Mississippi State's Brennan Thompson and USC's Mackay Lemon. On defense, they've connected with Miami-Ed Russia Ruben Bain and LSU cornerback Mansour Delayne at the combine, plus several linemen and linebackers at pro days, setting the stage for their moves as draft day nears.
