The 2026 NFL Draft is just a few short weeks away, and it will be a crucial one for Los Angeles Rams general manager Les Snead.

The team has made several moves to get ready for what could be one final Super Bowl run with Matthew Stafford at the helm, and they have to nail the draft to reach that.  How could the 2026 NFL Draft play out for the Rams? We used our brand new mock draft simulator to try to answer that question.

The A to Z Sports NFL mock draft simulator offers a deeply customizable and data-driven experience with never-before-seen features. Try the mock draft simulator today, before the 2026 NFL Draft arrives!

21. KC Concepcion, WR, Texas A&M (via projected trade w/PIT)

Les Snead revealed that their ideal outcome on Day One would be to move back from No. 13. Let’s do exactly that here. The Steelers felt froggy enough to come up for Jermod McCoy, and I was happy to do so, picking up No. 21 and No.99 in exchange for No. 13.

With the 21st pick, Texas A&M wide receiver KC Concepcion naturally makes the most sense. He’s the best pure separator in this class, and his ability to defeat press coverage and generate explosive plays is exactly what the Rams’ offense is missing. No brainer here.

61. Caleb Tiernan, OT, Northwestern

I fully believe the Los Angeles Rams need to improve their offensive tackle room long-term, and both tackles are replaceable after next season. Tiernan’s arm length is a concern for some, but it won’t be for the Rams, and he has the ability to start at either tackle spot with strong pass protection ability and movement skills.

99. Kyle Louis, LB, Pitt (via projected trade w/PIT)

I traded the Rams’ original third-round pick, No. 93, to the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for No. 124, No. 164, and No. 203. With this extra third-rounder in hand, I’m sure the Rams would like to be able to have picks in the fourth and fifth rounds.

The Rams have met extensively with Kyle Louis, and while his usage is tricky, his coverage skill set is exactly what the Rams’ defense needs at the second level.

124. Ephesians Prysock, CB, Washington (via projected trade w/JAX)

The Los Angeles Rams have their starting cornerback duo set with Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson, but the depth behind them is thin, and I’m sure they’re conscious of that.

Ephesians Prysock is a long, physical cornerback who would be a natural fit in the Rams’ new-look press coverage defense, and he’d add a key special teams presence as well.

164. Mason Reiger, EDGE, Wisconsin (via projected trade w/JAX)

The Rams have been sniffing around pass rushers in the draft, which makes sense given their future decision surrounding Byron Young. I’ve been a huge fan of Reiger’s game ever since getting eyes on him at the Shrine Bowl in January. I think he would be a perfect fit as a DPR in the Rams’ defense with his quickness and bend.

203. Micah Morris, IOL, Georgia (via projected trade w/ JAX)

Several of the Rams’ pre-draft meetings have been around IOL prospects. Evidently, they aren’t keen on having Justin Dedich be their only swing lineman inside.

Micah Morris is a squatty, power guard with some intriguing explosive movement skills for his size. He’s raw, but he’s a perfect fit for the Rams’ power-run game.

207. Jordan van den Berg, DT, Georgia Tech

The bottom of the Rams’ defensive line rotation needs to be pushed, especially after Ty Hamilton’s admittedly rocky rookie season.

van den Berg caught my eye at his Pro Day, with some tremendous testing numbers. His film is strong as well, showcasing good power and grip strength to hold his own on the inside.

232. Kaden Wetjen, WR, Iowa

The Los Angeles Rams are seemingly aiming to add special teamers throughout the 2026 NFL Draft, and Wetjen is excellent there.

Wetjen was a historic returner for the Hawkeyes, averaging nearly 30 yards per kick return over the last two seasons. He capped off his 2025 season with a 26.8 return yards per punt and over ten return touchdowns in his career. He’s explosive with the ball in his hands as well, making him a fun WR5 for the Rams’ rotation.

251. Avery Smith, CB, Toledo

At the bottom of the draft, we’re adding special teamers and bottom of the rotation players here. The Rams’ secondary needs another addition who can play inside to push Lake and Josh Wallace.

Smith is a smooth, smart cornerback, as is typical of the Toledo secondary. He’s undersized, but he would be a strong addition to this reformed secondary.

252. Lorenzo Styles, S, Ohio State

Ohio State Buckeyes cornerback Lorenzo Styles Jr. (3) celebrates after breaking up a pass to Indiana Hoosiers wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. (3) on Saturday, Dec. 6, 2025, during the Big Ten football championship at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

Styles truthfully might not make it here off of special teams prowess alone. If he is, however, the Rams should sprint to add him. He tested out of the gym at the Combine, but his special teams acumen is what makes him valuable.

Styles would give the bottom of the Rams’ safety room the speed they are sorely lacking with Jaylen McCollough. He’s a high character addition who would be well-worth the flier this late in the draft.
