The Los Angeles Rams hold a top 15 draft pick for the first time since 2016, sparking discussions about their strategy. Key considerations include the long-term value of first-round picks, the potential selection of a quarterback, and the need to improve special teams.

A lot of those in the Rams community are saying that the 13th pick should follow suit in LAâs offseason plan to go âall inâ. That whoever the team takes in the first round must be able to contribute in year one and help Los Angeles Rams the Super Bowl. But draft picks are five-year investments. Itâs simply not wise to distill a playerâs capabilities down to how ready they are to produce in their first season. This is the Ramsâ earliest pick since 2016. They are in position to come away with a franchise building block for the foreseeable future, even if they already have plenty of promising, young talent on the roster. What if the top two or three receivers are on the board, meaning the team wonât be able to fill one of the biggest remaining needs? What if the best option is someone like Spencer Fano who probably projects as a backup in 2026 with potential to be a high level starting guard or tackle thereafter? Simply put, most fans would be disappointing if the Rams do indeed select Fano. That doesnât make sense. LA is in a position to come away with a good player. Asking them to boom or bust as a rookie is ill-advised. We need to move off this thought process.
The Rams' top 15 draft pick is their earliest since selecting Jared Goff first overall in 2016, indicating a crucial opportunity for building the team's future.
There is speculation that the Rams may draft a quarterback, especially with Kliff Kingsbury's hiring, which suggests a focus on developing a young player like Ty Simpson or Drew Allar.
The Rams aim to enhance their special teams after a poor performance in 2025, requiring investment in talent to address weaknesses in areas like kick returns.
The Rams should view their first-round pick as a five-year investment rather than expecting immediate contributions, allowing for the selection of a player who can develop into a franchise cornerstone.

I still wonder about the Ramsâ intention behind hiring former head coach Kliff Kingsbury as an offensive assistant. Kingsbury has a track record of working with quarterbacks such as Patrick Mahomes, Kyler Murray, and Jayden Daniels. Can we read the tea leaves and conclude that LA brought in Kingsburyâprobably on a short-term basis until he gets his next coordinator or head coaching roleâto groom a young quarterback like Ty Simpson or Drew Allar? Backup quarterbacks do not receive much attention or repetitions during the season. While McVay and the offensive staff are focused on Matthew Stafford and the starting offense, Kingsbury could split off and give most of his attention to the usually neglected. This could prime the young player to take over as soon as 2027.
The Rams say the want to get better on special teams after the third phase acting as their Achilles heel in 2025. The team must backup these words with action and invest in talent to improve the overall ecosystem on special teams. This weekend I posted a list of potential candidates who could contribute right away. We know that LA could reasonably improve at returner over Xavier Smith and Ronnie Rivers. Teams across the NFL are creative in how they are approaching kick returns, and the Rams are leaving a lot of meat on the bone if they continue to neglect returns under the modern rules.
