The Los Angeles Rams have turned their roster into a Super Bowl contender in large part because of what Les Snead, Sean McVay, and the front office have been able to do through the draft since April 2022. Day 3 selections—Rounds 4 through 7—rarely arrive with the fanfare of first-round picks, but they frequently provide depth, developmental upside, and sometimes even long-term starters. Kyren Williams, Cobie Durant, Quentin Lake, Beaux Limmer, Jordan Whittington, Konata Mumpfield, Davis Allen, Warren
McClendon have all played significant snaps and a large share at that for the Rams over the last three years. With the Rams continuing to balance a competitive roster with future development, this year’s group of mid-to-late round prospects could offer valuable additions on both sides of the ball.
Here are seven Day 3 prospects who could fit the Rams’ needs and philosophy.
Kage Casey – Interior Offensive Line
Interior offensive line depth is always a priority, especially for a team that emphasizes mobility and zone-blocking schemes. Kage Casey profiles as a developmental guard with starting upside. Known for his powerful lower body and consistent leverage at the point of attack, Casey excels in run blocking situations where he can create movement in tight spaces.
For the Rams’ offense, Casey provides flexibility as a tackle and guard. His shorter arms will likely kick him inside to guard but if the Rams need insurance at tackle, Casey provides that. Casey’s physicality and willingness to finish blocks could help solidify depth along the interior. While his pass protection technique may need refinement at the NFL level, his toughness and coachability make him an appealing Day 3 candidate who could develop into a rotational contributor.
Landon Robinson – Interior Defensive Line
On the defensive side, Landon Robinson is the type of prospect teams often uncover late in the draft who develops into a valuable rotational lineman. Robinson possesses a stout frame and the ability to anchor against the run, making him effective in early-down situations.
The Rams’ defensive scheme has long relied on a deep defensive line rotation to maintain pressure and control the line of scrimmage. Robinson’s strength and gap discipline could allow him to serve as a run-stopping presence while he develops his pass-rush repertoire. With time in an NFL strength program, Robinson could evolve into a dependable interior piece capable of eating snaps and keeping the defensive front fresh. Robinson is a US Naval Academy graduate. It’s hard to imagine the Rams finding someone with a stronger moral compass than a Midshipmen.
Domani Jackson – Cornerback
Few positions require as much depth as cornerback, and Domani Jackson offers intriguing athletic upside. Jackson is known for his speed and fluid movement skills, traits that are essential for matching up with the increasingly fast and versatile receivers across the league.
Jackson’s ability to mirror routes and recover quickly when beaten could make him an appealing developmental corner for the Rams’ secondary. While he may initially contribute on special teams or as a depth defensive back, his athletic traits suggest the potential for growth into a rotational corner who can match up against vertical threats.
Andre Fuller – Cornerback
Another secondary prospect who could draw attention on Day 3 is Andre Fuller. Fuller brings a physical style of play that complements finesse cover corners. He excels in press coverage and is willing to challenge receivers at the line of scrimmage.
For the Rams, Fuller would not be expected to start in the secondary right away but would be given the opportunity to develop behind Quentin Lake, Trent McDuffie, and Jaylen Watson. Late-round corners who are willing tacklers and capable special teams contributors often carve out long careers, and Fuller’s aggressive mindset fits that mold. If he refines his footwork and improves consistency in coverage, Fuller could develop into a valuable depth piece with situational defensive potential.
Gracen Halton – Defensive Line
Gracen Halton is another defensive line prospect who could appeal to teams looking for versatility along the front. Halton’s quick first step and ability to penetrate gaps make him a disruptive interior defender, particularly in passing situations.
While he may not possess elite size for a full-time interior role, Halton’s motor and lateral agility allow him to create pressure from the inside. For the Rams, that type of interior quickness can be valuable in sub-packages where generating pass rush is the priority. Halton could become part of a situational defensive front that focuses on collapsing the pocket and forcing hurried throws.
Halton might be a Day 2 prospect but in the event that he falls because of his size, the Rams could be a match.
Taurean York – Linebacker
At linebacker, Taurean York stands out as a highly productive defender with strong instincts. York consistently demonstrates the ability to diagnose plays quickly and pursue ball carriers with determination.
York offers himself as an asset as a coverage linebacker. Nate Landman and Omar Speights are not strong in that department and that appears to be the weakest part of the defense currently. Finding an off ball linebacker next to Landman is growing need.
Pat Coogan – Center
The final prospect on this list, Pat Coogan, provides an option at center. Coleman Shelton is entering the final year of his deal with the Rams. In fact, all three interior offensive linemen are set for free agency after 2026. It’s hard to envision Shelton, the weakest of the three, being prioritized. Coogan, fresh off a National Championship run with Indiana would provide experience and good size.
Coogan’s strength lies in his football IQ and consistency. While he may not possess elite athleticism compared to some higher-drafted centers, his reliability and understanding of blocking schemes could allow him to develop into a dependable backup with potential starting capability.
