The Los Angeles Rams are a team that is right in the middle do their winning window. With quarterback Matthew Stafford coming back for another season, head coach Sean McVay and his Rams squad look poised for a Super Bowl run. They have a talented roster, with a good mix of veteran and young talent.
General manager Les Snead has quietly done an outstanding job as a drafter the last several years finding talent. The 2025 NFL Draft is another opportunity to make this roster better. The team did just that in this recent 7-round mock draft.
Round 1, Pick 26: Malaki Starks, S Georgia
There is a legitimate argument that Starks is a top ten overall player in the class. Getting him at No. 26 is an obvious value for the Rams. They get a legitimate difference maker on the back end.
Round 3, Pick 90: Barrett Carter, LB Clemson
Linebacker is a major need for the Rams, and has been for a while. Carter didn’t quite take a step forward like many hoped the last two seasons. He is still an exciting athlete that can be utilized in a lot of ways for a defense.
Round 3, Pick 101: Anthony Belton, OT NC State
Belton will have to keep his weight down, but he possesses a very intriguing blend of size, length, and foot quickness. That should allow him to stick at offensive tackle. If not, there is starter upside on the inside.
Round 4, Pick 127: Kyle Williams, WR Washington State
Quick and explosive after the catch, Williams is a wide receiver who has been on a steady rise. With Cooper Kupp leaving for the Seattle Seahawks this season, the Rams could use some young talent in the slot. Williams fits that billing perfectly.
Round 6, Pick 190: Bilhal Kone, CB Western Michigan
Possessing a big frame and good overall athleticism, there is a lot to like with Kone. His technique is still a major work in progress, but there is developmental upside to tap into. At this point in the draft, Kone is more than worth the investment.
Round 6, Pick 195: Oronde Gadsden II, TE Syracuse
The Rams appreciate mismatch weapons in the passing game. Gadsden has mostly been a big slot during his career, but is steadily growing into a tight end. Coach McVay will love working with him.
Round 6, Pick 201: John Williams, OT Cincinnati
At this point on Day Three, finding developmental offensive lineman is a sound investment. Williams has some movement skills to work with. This is a long term move up front.
Round 6, Pick 202: Collin Oliver, LB Oklahoma State
Oliver is sort of the Day Three version of Jalon Walker. His traits and body type make him a tweener, but Oliver has some creative upside as a defensive weapon. He should, at least, contribute a lot on special teams.
