Rams' 2026 Draft Fate: Pick No. 13 Options Explored
20 Mar
Summary
- Rams possess the No. 13 overall pick for the 2026 NFL Draft.
- Team faces crucial decisions with limited early draft selections.
- Potential needs include wide receiver, offensive tackle, and cornerback.
The Los Angeles Rams are slated to select 13th overall in the 2026 NFL Draft, a pick secured through a previous trade with the Atlanta Falcons. This high draft position presents significant opportunities for the team, though they hold only three selections within the top 205 picks. Strategic choices will be paramount to maximize the value of these early selections.
General manager Les Snead must consider trading down if the value at pick 13 doesn't align with the team's needs, especially given the significant gap between their third and sixth-round selections on Day Three of the draft. Potential targets for the Rams include playmakers to complement the vertical passing game and a successor for the offensive tackle position following Rob Havenstrin's retirement. Cornerback and safety also remain areas that could be addressed with their top pick.
Specific draft prospects mentioned as potential fits include wide receivers Carnell Tate and Jordyn Tyson, offensive tackles like Mauigoa or Fano, and defensive backs such as Avieon Terrell, Caleb Downs, or Dillon Thieneman. Tight end Kenyon Sadiq is another name that could form an exciting young tandem with Terrance Ferguson.
