Rams Build Depth in NFL Draft

On April 25th, the Los Angeles Rams didn't go all in like some fans hoped in the 2026 NFL draft, but they're building smart depth.

They grabbed quarterback Ty Simpson in the first round, then added Titan Max Claire in offensive tackle Keegan Trust on day two.

These moves shore up their 12 personnel packages from last year and beef up the offensive line.

Claire keeps their Titan rotation fresh, while Trust brings that crucial backup tackle experience.

Now the Rams sit tight into the sixth round, with their first pick at the 207 spot overall, followed by three in the seventh.

They might trade up to bundle those late picks and snag better value.

Fans are mixed, some wanted bigger splashes, but this fits the Rams low cost high impact style.

They missed out on mind backers like Anthony Hill earlier because of trade costs, yet their archetypes stays consistent for special team's contributors, who grow into roles.

Looking at a solid day three mock, they take Michigan linebacker Jimmy Roller at 2-7 for immediate special team's juice.

Then Iowa wide receiver, Kaden Wedgin at 232 as a punt return beast with four touchdown returns last year.

Texas Safety Michael Taya via 251 at hard hitting coverage and Auburn interior lineman Dylan Wade right after at 200.

52 for Versa Tau depth with 49 starts.

This draft shapes up as steady roster insurance, keeping the Rams competitive without breaking the bank guys on those final rounds for the full.
