Los Angeles Rams 2026 NFL Draft: Picks by round, biggest needs, best fits
The 2026 NFL Draft kicks off live from Pittsburgh on Thursday, April 23 and the latest crop of rookies will be hearing their names called all weekend long. For the Los Angeles Rams, the biggest need is an obvious one: Tackle.
Right tackle Rob Havenstein retired in February after 11 seasons. Warren McClendon Jr. appears poised to replace Havenstein at RT, but the Rams need more depth at both tackle spots. That being said, on paper, the Rams might be the most complete team in football entering the draft.

Here's everything you need to know about the Los Angeles Rams for this year's draft, including a round-by-round look at picks and a potential trade candidate already on the roster.
Los Angeles Rams NFL Draft best prospect fit: RB Jeremiyah Love, Notre DamePer USA TODAY's Ayrton Ostly:
This is one of the least likely pairings, but if it came true, this would be perfect for a team going all-in to win the Super Bowl in 2026. Los Angeles has one of the best wide receiver tandems in the NFL, an MVP quarterback and one of the best play-callers in the league. Adding in a dynamic threat at running back could make them a truly unstoppable force.

Los Angeles Rams NFL Draft trade candidate: WR Davante AdamsPer USA TODAY's Jack McKessy:
Adams will turn 34 during the season. He'll also be a free agent after 2026. The Rams need to clear the deck for a monster extension that is surely on its way for wide receiver Puka Nacua, so Adams' tenure in Los Angeles is likely done after this season, regardless. Head coach Sean McVay even confirmed at the annual league meetings that the Rams considered trading Adams. Why not get back some draft value for a veteran receiver that clearly still has gas left in the tank rather than letting him walk? More picks for general manager Les Snead to draft players with and send away in trades? Sign him up.
