Summary
- Rams may target top cornerback Jermod McCoy in the NFL Draft.
- Quarterback Ty Simpson is a possibility for the Rams' No. 29 pick.
- Rams have $42 million in cap space for extensions and free agents.
The Los Angeles Rams are heading into a critical offseason, identified as early favorites for Super Bowl LXI. Key decisions regarding their future at cornerback and quarterback could be shaped by insights gained at the NFL Scouting Combine.
Cornerback prospect Jermod McCoy, who missed last season due to an ACL tear, will be closely evaluated. His performance in on-field drills and medical assessments, especially concerning his knee, will be crucial as the Rams hold the No. 13 overall pick. The team is also considering quarterback Ty Simpson, who is considered a raw talent with potential.
With approximately $42 million in salary cap space, General Manager Les Snead has ample resources for contract extensions for star players like Puka Nacua and for signing major free agents. The team's primary areas of focus for acquisitions include cornerback, linebacker, and wide receiver, as they plan for the post-Matthew Stafford era.
