In the 2025 NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Rams have key needs in defensive depth, particularly at cornerback and linebacker, along with potential areas for improvement in receiver, offensive line, and defensive line positions. The question of whether the Rams will draft a quarterback to develop as a future starter or as a successor to Matthew Stafford adds intrigue to their draft strategy.
In a seven-round mock draft by Kyle Crabbs of The 33rd Team, the Rams addressed various positions by selecting two linebackers, an edge rusher, a cornerback, a tight end, an offensive lineman, a receiver, and a quarterback. Noteworthy picks include linebacker Schwesinger and experienced quarterback Shough in Round 3, along with wideout Felton in later rounds. While these selections may not bring immediate impact, they are seen as solid choices to fortify the team's roster for the long term, rather than making a transformative impact on their contender status.
