The Los Angeles Rams might be the most well-run team in the NFL from a front office perspective. General Manager Les Snead has been at the top of his game for years now, as the Rams are a juggernaut and were capable of winning a Super Bowl this year.
Not only that, but his quarterback, Matthew Stafford, might have another couple of high-end years left, given how good he was in 2025. With Stafford at the top of his game, the Rams having an elite head coach in Sean McVay, and a front office that is always properly aggressive, the Rams winning it all in the 2026 season would not be a shock.
Let's dive into a Rams mock draft after a top-tier free agency period, where the front office thrusts this roster into legitimate Super Bowl contention once again.
Updated Los Angeles Rams mock draft following insanely active free agency
13. Jordyn Tyson, WR, Arizona State
The Rams throw the ball well, perhaps better than any team in the league, but Puka Nacua is due for a massive contract extension, and Davante Adams is obviously not a long-term option. Los Angeles should indeed build on its strength and bring in some immediate and long-term stability with Jordyn Tyson. Tyson's injury history is the main concern here, but he does profile as a top-end wide receiver in the NFL, and Stafford is going to get anyone the ball who gets open.
61. Jake Golday, LB, Cincinnati
With the secondary additions of Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson, the Rams defense doesn't really have a clear need at this point. With their defensive line and secondary now both shored up, you could argue that the linebacking group could use a boost. Jake Golday is a massive and athletic prospect from Cincinnati who is simply a talented player at the Rams weakest spot on the defense.
With as good of a roster as Los Angeles has, drafting for need is smart.
93. Garrett Nussmeier, QB, LSU
I truly believe the Rams are going to select a quarterback at some point in the NFL Draft this year. Stafford is closer to 40 than 35 at this point, and even though he won the MVP in 2025, he could decline rapidly. Heck, Peyton Manning won the MVP award way back in 2013 and was totally washed-up and unplayable two years later.
This isn't a strong quarterback class at all, but Garrett Nussmeier could be a fun project for McVay and the Rams offensive coaching staff. If nothing else, LA might get a high-end backup out of this investment, which is still a crucial part of a quarterback room.
207. Jager Burton, OC, Kentucky
Starting center Coleman Shelton is a free agent following the 2026 NFL Season, but he did have a rather strong 2025 and could be in their future plans. Some insurance would not hurt, though, so the Rams bolster the offensive line and at least get some depth in the mix with Jager Burton from Kentucky.
232. Harrison Wallace III, WR, Ole Miss
Los Angeles keeps their foot on the gas offensively and snag another wide receiver in Harrison Wallace III. Wallace had 934 yards and four touchdowns in 2025. Wallace transferred from Penn State following the 2024 campaign.
251. Riley Mahlman, OT, Wisconsin
Despite being 6-8, Riley Mahlman actually has sub 33 inch arms, which is interesting. He has played well in college despite the shorter arm length, and this opens up an entirely different discussion - some tackles have overcome shorter arms in the NFL, but others have not. With Mahlman being 6-8, it's either tackle or bust, to be honest.
252. Preston Hodge, CB, Colorado
The Rams finish up this mock draft with another new cornerback addition, taking Preston Hodge from Colorado.
