Rams Offensive Depth chart

The top of the lineup is set virtually across the board, save for perhaps competition/starter at the slot WR spot with Jordan Whittington. Their starting offensive line group is set, so ignore any mock drafts that have them taking a guard/center early on. They do need to focus on addressing their depth along the offensive line, and perhaps find their right tackle of the future behind Rob Havenstein. 

Quarterback seems largely full, beyond the Rams potentially taking a swing late on a young QB to compete with Stetson Bennett to be the backup behind Stafford after his season. The Rams should also invest in their skill position talent, but their running back room is getting pretty full for that.

Rams defense depth chart

Shield your eyes if you are a fan of depth or the linebacker position, as the Rams have neither. This side of the ball needs plenty of investment throughout. You can pick almost any position group and the Rams need an influx of talent to add there. 

They need to lock down their secondary, as none of their cornerbacks are established quality starters for 2025 and they have no serious depth behind the duo. Safety feels safe, but I wouldn't pass on a talent like Malaki Starks if it means they can deploy Curl full-time in the box and keep Lake in the slot. 

The top of their pass rush room is set with superstar Jared Verse and Byron Young, but their depth is vastly unproven and has struggled with injuries. Taking a mid-round swing here makes a ton of sense to continue filling out this room.

However, there's no position group they desperately need to fill out more than the linebacker position. It's the one room they seemingly do not care at all about, yet they should, given their woes stopping the run consistently and getting beat over the middle of the field in the passing game.

This mentality should change to invest in this room throughout the draft, but it's been like this in for the Rams for years with little change. Maybe this is the year that changes.
