Rams Trade Up, Draft Omar Cooper Jr. for Stafford's Passing Game

0:00On April 4th, the Los Angeles Rams love shaking things up on Draftay. After trading out of the first round last year, they hold the 13th overall pick in the 2026 draft. In a fresh 5-round mock from NFL.com's Chad Reuter, General Manager Les Sneed swaps back four spots with the Detroit Lions to land at number 17. In return, the Rams snag a 2026 fifth-rounder and a 2027 third-round pick. With that new spot, they grab Indiana-wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. Setting him up alongside Devante Adams and Pouca Nacua to form a killer trio. From Matthew Stafford, fans are buzzing about the potential here, especially with Adams possibly hitting free agency after next season. This move bolsters the passing game without going all in right away, fitting the Rams' patient-revealed vibe. Later rounds bring more depth. Second round offensive guard Jennings Dunker from Iowa in the 61st spot. Third round edge rusher Nadam Tucker.

1:02From Western Kentucky at 93 and that extra fifth round quarterback Drew Allor from Penn State at 157. It's no splashy hall, but these picks blend immediate backups with future starters, keeping the Rams steady for contention now and down the road.
