Random Ramsdom: They addressed corner through free agency

It’s clear now, but when it was happening it was unknown exactly how the Los Angeles Rams were approaching the latest NFL Draft. The Rams didn’t exactly need to address cornerback or special teams through the draft, as they opted to try and address those moves through free agency.

Will the strategy work? Tune into this NFL season to find out.

The Rams had a chance to add a player in the draft who could’ve helped in 2026, even in a limted role, insteady they chose a player in Ty Simpson who they hope doesn’t take the field in 2026.

I think I’ve written these next two words more than once over the last week in relation to the Rams choosing Simpson at pick 13: It’s fascinating.

Is it logical? it is illogical? I do not know, but it’s fascinating.

Why Jaylen Watson was the Rams’ key signing of the offseason (ramswire)

“However, what will make Watson great in 2026 isn’t the scheme or his teammates. It’s timing. The only way to beat Shula’s scheme, unless you have a generational running back, is to attack the underneath early with the pass, to then force Shula into having a single-high safety. Whichever safety drops, whether it’s Kam Curl or Kam Kinchens, they would often have to be reactionary, messing up the timing of their attack. There were fears that the outside would get beaten to the punch for receivers coming inside, allowing a seam for players to advance the ball upfield.”
