Will Rams get even more aggressive after Ty Simpson pick?

Move up in 2026

It’s no secret the Rams have dreams to hoist the Lombardi Trophy at the end of this season. They still have needs at key positions including receiver, corner, offensive line, and linebacker. Currently LA is slated to pick twice on Friday and then they effectively have four seventh round picks late Saturday. That’s really only two chances to fill these needs in a meaningful way, and that means some positions that could use improvement will go unaddressed. So throw caution to the wind and move up early in the second round by trading away the 2027 first. Denzel Boston is the top receiver remaining on the board and would provide a means to futureproofing Davante Adams’ role at receiver. While there is not an immediate need at corner, there are more options available at the top of the second than the Rams had at #13.

Trade for a veteran

On the surface it will be tough to fit another costly veteran on the roster in 2026; however, the Rams could get creative to backload in future years when they have more salary cap space. It feel somewhat unlikely that a trade could occur on draft day; however, there are notable rumors surrounding George Pickens, AJ Brown, Kyle Pitts, and others. All three of the Cowboys, Eagles, and Falcons could be interested in a quarterback in 2027. They’d probably like to have extra ammunition headed into that draft class. As of yesterday, the Rams no longer need it.
