Los Angeles Rams NFL Mock Draft Roundup 4.0

All-Pro receiver Puka Nacua isn't going anywhere, but Davante Adams is 33 years old. Tyson, a first-team All-Big 12 selection, can be groomed as a long-term WR2 for the Rams.

The Rams don't have many glaring needs, so there's an argument for them to draft a player who can boost their Super Bowl odds immediately. However, Freeling is too good of a prospect to pass up if the board fell this way. He has the most upside of any offensive lineman in this draft, with excellent size (6-7, 315 pounds) and athleticism (4.93-second 40-yard dash).

With only 18 starts under his belt, Freeling would need time to develop into a left tackle at the next level. In Los Angeles, he would have the chance to be a sixth offensive lineman for a season, as Alaric Jackson is the current starting left tackle.

Bell has the skill to be gone long before this pick, but he's still recovering from an ACL tear this past November. The Rams have an enviable starting receiver duo in Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, which would ease the early burden on Bell. The 6-2 222-pounder is extremely explosive in the open field and could provide depth behind both stars.

They add to their receiver room, giving them a little more juice. We know that Davante Adams isn't a kid anymore, so why not get a young receiver to develop for the future?

It was mighty tempting to go with Love for a Rams team obsessed with finding upgrades. But that would likely mean trading one of Kyren Williams or Blake Corum, and that's harder to work out in a mock draft. So the Rams fill their biggest actual need at wide receiver in Makai Lemon, who is fresh off a season with 1,156 yards and 11 touchdowns. Lemon appears ready to assume a strong Year 1 role as a receiver and a blocker before elevating to replace Davante Adams as the Robin to Puka Nacua's Batman in Year 2. — Nate Atkins

With longtime right tackle Rob Havenstein retiring, the Rams have a big hole on the right side of their offensive line. Luckily, they can find the perfect replacement here. Lomu hasn't gotten as much adoration as his teammate Spencer Fano, but Lomu might be a cleaner fit here considering he was already playing right tackle at Utah. Lomu's nasty streak, explosiveness and overall athleticism give him the chance to develop into a lockdown right tackle.

Obviously zero need now to reach for a corner here with Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson inbound from K.C. LA had the league's No. 1 passing game in 2025 — in large part due to Puka Nacua's heroics. But Davante Adams, 33, was the only other productive wideout and battled injuries late in the season and is only under contract for one more year. Boston (6-4, 212) is the kind of supersized red-zone target (20 TD catches since 2024) and boundary receiver who could provide an easy transition from Adams while perfectly complementing Nacua.

According to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport, the Rams were in on trade discussions for Eagles star A.J. Brown, which points to their desire to add at receiver. Lemon has the characteristics they covet in wideouts, with toughness, strong hands and the ability to pick up yards after the catch.

The dominoes of the Jaylen Waddle trade impacted the Rams' pick. I had Jordyn Tyson here as their new WR3 behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, but there's no way Miami would let the top-tier receiver slip past No. 11. Instead, I'm pivoting the Rams' selection to the right tackle position. Mauigoa started 42 games in college, over which time he put together some really good tape. He uses his strength to dominate pass rushers, and he can clear out running lanes. Warren McClendon Jr. is under contract for only one more season, and run blocking is so important in the Rams' offense.

Man, the Rams have been aggressive. Their pass defense has quickly improved, so that's settled. How about their passing game, though? Davante Adams is getting a bit older, turning 34. Matthew Stafford's not going to play forever, but he still has some juice. I love the thought of the Rams picking up Sadiq, who can help replace Adams as a red-zone threat down the line. You talk with the coaching staff at Oregon, and they also rave about his blocking ability.
