In a hypothetical NFL re-draft exercise using original 2026 picks, the Los Angeles Rams made significant roster changes. The team ensured continuity by selecting their star wide receiver, Puka Nacua, with their first-round pick.
This re-draft saw a major shift at the quarterback position, with veteran Matthew Stafford being taken by the Arizona Cardinals early in the first round. The Rams then focused on building future strength by drafting Cam Ward as their new franchise quarterback in the third round.
Further strengthening the team, the Rams added elite talent on defense, securing Danielle Hunter and Christian Gonzalez. They also retained Kobie Turner on the defensive interior and drafted offensive tackle Bernhard Raimann and tight end Jake Ferguson to round out the squad.
