Rams trade back in Round 1, still get top WR in 7-round mock draft

Round 3, No. 93 overall: Tacario Davis, CB, Washington

Cornerback isn't a need for L.A. anymore, but a team can never have too many cornerbacks — as Chris Shula found out in 2025. Emmanuel Forbes Jr. might not stick around past 2026 if the Rams don't pick up his fifth-year option, either, so adding a big outside cornerback (Davis is 6-foot-3 and 194 pounds) would be a fantastic addition to this room regardless of what the team does with Forbes Jr.

Round 5, No. 157 overall: (from Lions trade) Behren Morton, QB, Texas Tech

With no clear succession plan at quarterback yet, the Rams can afford to use a Day 3 pick on a player who could develop into a serviceable passer. Morton is experienced with solid size and didn't turn the ball over much at Texas Tech. He completed 66% of his passes for 2,780 yards, 22 touchdowns and six interceptions this past season.

Round 6, No. 207 overall: Harrison Wallace III, WR, Ole Miss

Wallace III finished his collegiate career at Ole Miss after four years at Penn State and was relatively productive with 64 receptions for 934 yards and four touchdowns. He's primarily an outside receiver at nearly six feet and 192 pounds and would give the Rams some depth on the outside next to Davante Adams.

Round 7, No. 232 overall: David Gusta, DT, Kentucky

Gusta had just 2.5 sacks in college but would be another big-bodied developmental prospect in the middle of the defense for L.A.

Round 7, No. 251 overall: Keyshawn James-Newby, EDGE, New Mexico

There is almost no downside to seeing what a seventh-round edge rusher can do, and James-Newby is one to bet on. The 6-foot-2, 238-pounder led the Mountain West with nine sacks in 2025. He also had 10.5 for Idaho in 2024.

Round 7, No. 252 overall: Wesley Bissainthe, LB, Miami

Never doubt the Rams' ability to scout linebackers, which is why they've done well with undrafted guys like Omar Speights or unheralded NFL players like Nate Landman. Bissainthe was a three-year starter at Miami who had 14.5 tackles for a loss and 204 combined tackles in four seasons.
