The Los Angeles Rams are so close right now. They just need a strong showing in the 2026 NFL Draft, and they could find themselves as the favorites to win the Super Bowl going into the 2026 season. Today, we’re going to help them with that. Here’s our seven-round mock draft.

Rams trade the 13th pick to the Eagles for A.J. Brown

It all starts here. The Rams’ top need, besides tackle, is probably receiver at this point. Davante Adams isn’t getting any younger, and there’s been some trouble with Puka Nacua as of late. Brown is just sitting there for the taking, and giving the Eagles the 13th pick should more than get this thing done. It’s all possible, but there will be some obstacles to overcome.

Rams get: A.J. Brown
Eagles get: 13th pick

61st pick: Zakee Wheatley, S, Penn State

The Rams run a zone scheme on defense, and Wheatley fits that perfectly. He’s coming off a strong season for Penn State, where he put up an 83.5 coverage grade and allowed a passer rating of 69.2. He’s also very good against the run.

93rd pick: Travis Burke, OT, Memphis

Yeah, the Rams wait until the third round to grab their tackle, but they get a guy who is an absolute specimen at nearly seven feet tall. Bruke started at Memphis last year and wowed everyone with what he was able to do with his long frame and athleticism. This pick feels like a steal.

Trade up with Steelers

The Rams make a move that helps them move up into the fifth round to find their next breakout tight end. They did have to give up a sixth and multiple sevenths to make it happen.

Rams get: 161st pick
Steelers get: 207th, 232nd, and 252nd pick

161st pick: Dallen Bentley, TE, Utah

Bentley has a little bit of work to do to be a better blocker, but he absolutely brings it in the pass-catching game. Bentley’s athleticism is the real draw here. If the Rams can get the rest of his skillset up, he could be a big-time player for them.

251st pick: Jordan Hudson, WR, SMU

The Rams grab an extra receiver with their final pick of the draft. Hudson has some contested catch ability and could help the Rams round out their group and be a solid special teams helper.
