The Los Angeles Rams have a lot riding on the NFL Draft as they look to contend for another Super Bowl title. With the No. 19 pick, the Rams could potentially address their need for a pass rusher, with players such as Byron Murphy of Texas and Jer’Zahn Newton of Illinois being potential targets. However, the Rams could also opt to bolster their offense, with receiver being a position of concern. The wide receiver class in this year’s draft is considered to be deep, so the Rams could find a playmaker there. General manager Les Snead and coach Sean McVay will have to weigh the options carefully as they try to build a team that can compete for a championship.

The Los Angeles Rams haven’t made a first-round draft selection since 2016, when they selected quarterback Jared Goff with the No. 1 overall pick. This year, they hold the No. 19 pick and are exploring all options, including trading up, trading down, or staying put. According to General Manager Les Snead, the Rams have conducted thorough evaluations and are prepared to make a decision based on the players available at the time of their pick.

In the NFL, connections are as prevalent as Kevin Bacon in film. ESPN’s Adam Schefter revealed an intriguing link between Bo Nix and the Rams: Rams GM Les Snead and Nix’s father, Patrick, overlapped at Auburn in 1983. Nix, a talented quarterback, is predicted to be drafted by the Rams or the Broncos. While Stafford remains the Rams’ quarterback through 2026, the team seeks a defensive difference-maker after Aaron Donald’s retirement.
