Los Angeles Rams Day 3 2026 NFL Mock Draft: Rams ran out of time to add a 2026 difference-maker, so it’s all about depth
The Los Angeles Rams eschewed adding a difference-maker for a Super Bowl run in 2026 in the 2026 NFL Draft, so their draft has to be about depth now.
The Los Angeles Rams have spent their 2026 NFL Draft drafting entirely backups in the first three rounds, a bold choice in a win-now roster.
After the Los Angeles Rams took Ty Simpson in the first round and added another offensive playmaker in the second round in Max Klare, they drafted Missouri OT Keagan Trost. All three of whom are not expected to start in 2026.
So with four picks on Day 3 of the 2026 NFL Draft and no picks until No. 207, it seems the Rams are content without adding a difference-maker in their Super Bowl window. What will they do today on the final day of the draft?
Los Angeles Rams Day 3 2026 NFL Mock Draft
Round 6, No. 207: Reggie Virgil, WR, Texas Tech
The Rams said they’ve considered a wide receiver at every pick so far. Maybe they’ll pull the trigger this late?
Ahead of the draft, the team met with Virgil and his teammate, Caleb Douglas. Virgil could be a solid vertical, contested catch addition this late and he boasts good special teams ability. He would be a good addition to fill out the rest of the Rams’ wide receiver room.
Round 7, No. 232: Jam Miller, RB, Alabama
It’s been nine straight years the Rams have drafted a running back in the draft. I’d be surprised if they didn’t make it ten at the rate they are drafting.
Alabama’s Jam Miller is a solid late addition to filling out the room with his physicality and strong fundamentals. He has the build to hold up in pass protection and he boasts extensive special teams experience, making him a potential Ronnie Rivers replacement and could push Jarquez Hunter.
Round 7, No. 251: Gary Smith III, DT, UCLA
The Rams love taking older, maxed out players across the board. Smith only did a limited workout at the Combine as well, following their trend of players in this draft class.
He’s a space-eating run stuffer who can help the Rams bolster their short-yardage and goal-line defense with a strong anchor at the point of attack.
Round 7, No. 252: Ceyair Wright, CB, Nebraska
A Los Angeles native, Ceyair Wright has played both inside and outside cornerback with the Trojans and Cornhuskers. He’s a little on the smaller side, but he is fluid in space and has the traits to be worth a swing.
The Rams need more depth at cornerback, as Emmanuel Forbes is the only CB3 with experience on the outside. This room is far too thin. If they had more picks, I would have suggested adding two this year.
