Los Angeles Rams 7-round 2025 NFL mock draft: Reloading around Matt Stafford, and upgrading the defense for another title run
It was an unforeseen season for the Los Angeles Rams, beginning the year 1-4 but eventually winning the NFC West crown.

It was an unforeseen season for the Los Angeles Rams, beginning the year 1-4 but eventually winning the NFC West crown. They went into the playoffs as a sleeper team that could make some noise, but unfortunately, their season came to an end this week with a 28 to 22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Sean McVay, Les Snead, and the Rams organization now have to set their eyes to the future. This offseason is going to have some interesting decisions ahead, and one of the main topics is going to be about how the team attacks the 2025 NFL Draft. In a recent mock draft, they did their best to fill the biggest hole in the roster that still exist.
Round 1, Pick 26: Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan
Tyler Higbee did some really nice things for the Rams when he came back from injury, but the durability issues and age are starting to take their course. Loveland is an outstanding athlete who would be a huge upgrade and provide quarterback Matthew Stafford with an inviting target in the middle of the field. Combining him with Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp in the passing game brings a lot of upside.
Round 3, Pick 90: Demetrius Knight, LB, South Carolina
The linebacker position just isn’t good enough for Los Angeles right now. They need a major upgrade, and could use two. Knight is a physical downhill thumper that can run. He brings a no-nonsense approach, and makes plays all over the field. This selection could infuse some attitude into the second level.
Round 3, Pick 100: Cobee Bryant, CB, Kansas
The Rams have gotten by with a pretty underwhelming cornerback room this season. They could use an injection of talent, and someone like Bryant could play a little outside and in on the next level. He has tremendous short area movement skills, and brings incredible physicality and attitude to the table. Bryant is a joy to watch play.
Round 4, Pick 125: Daniel Jackson, WR, Minnesota
Cooper Kupp has been incredible for the Rams over the years, but it appears he’s beginning to slow down quickly. There should be an intention to add talent to the wide receiver room, and finding someone who can operate from the slot would be ideal. Jackson is the perfect player to learn from Kupp, and has the talent to eventually develop into a starter.
Round 6, Pick 188: Jay Toia, DT, UCLA
Toia has somehow become a very underrated fixture in the 2025 class. He is a massive interior lineman at right around 340 pounds, and is extremely difficult to move at the point of attack. While Toia won’t make a ton of game changing plays, he’s super steady and consistent. He should be able to impact the game on early downs.
Round 6, Pick 199: Jacob Parrish, CB, Kansas State
Continuing to add on to the Bryant pick, there’s a lot to like with Parrish. His size is going to push him inside on the next level, but he’s quick and competitive. There is clear nickel upside here, and Parrish could outplay his draft slot, and quickly.
Round 6, Pick 200: Kurtis Rourke, QB, Indiana
Quarterback Matt Stafford is still playing good football but he isn’t getting any younger. It isn’t necessarily time to find the next starter at the position, but continuing to add talent into that room is a sound investment. Rourke possesses really good size, a solid arm, and underrated athleticism as well. He should be able to potentially develop into a high end backup at least.
