The Los Angeles Rams are a Super Bowl contender for the upcoming 2026 NFL season. However, that doesn't mean their roster is perfect.
Outside of Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson, there might be some cornerback concerns. But the biggest issue isn't on defense, but rather on offense.
ESPN's Aaron Schatz identified each team's biggest roster hole following the NFL Draft, and for the Rams, their biggest roster hole is their wide receiver depth chart.
"There are a number of players behind Davante Adams and Puka Nacua, but none of them particularly stand out," Schatz writes.
This issue is fully the fault of the Rams, as instead of taking Ty Simpson with the No. 13 pick, the Rams have their pick of almost every WR in the NFL Draft class.
