The Los Angeles Rams hold three picks in the first 101 selections of the 2025 NFL Draft. With a well-rounded roster, they have the flexibility to target the best players available or bolster positions like receiver, tight end, or edge rusher. However, filling needs at cornerback, linebacker, or securing a long-term quarterback for post-Matthew Stafford era seems more strategic.
In a recent three-round mock draft by ESPN's Field Yates and Mel Kiper Jr., predictions include adding a Day 1 starter, a long-term player, and a defensive depth piece. Hairston, a speedy and productive cornerback, is a popular choice for the Rams. Additionally, the potential third-round selection of Howard as a future quarterback understudy to Stafford stands out as a surprising move. Kennard, an edge rusher with a strong performance record, is also highlighted as a valuable addition for the team's defense.
