The 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh is a wrap as of Saturday early evening. After months of speculation, the Los Angeles Rams have their rookie class comprised of 5 selections.
Day 1
There was a lot of rumors swirling leading up to the draft that Los Angeles may trade up, stay at pick 13, or trade back. As it turned out, the Rams stayed at pick 13 and created waves in the NFL media by selecting Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback Ty Simpson.
- Round 1, Pick 13, Ty Simpson, Alabama quarterback
Day 2
The Rams had two selections on Day 2: pick 61 and 93. It was widely expected
that the Rams would find reinforcements for Matthew Stafford. They did find one skill player and an offensive lineman to bolster their 13 personnel and the trenches.
- Round 2, Pick 61, Max Klare, Ohio State tight end
- Round 3, Pick 93, Keagan Trost, Missouri offensive tackle
Day 3
LA had four picks entering the final day but only ended up making two selections due to a trade up in Round 6. Les Snead and Sean McVay added another skill player and added to their defensive line (the only defensive player taken by them in the 2026 draft).
- Round 6, Pick 197, CJ Daniels, Miami wide receiver
- Round 7, Pick 232, Tim Keenan III, Alabama defensive tackle
Recap
It was widely expected that Los Angeles would just make a handful of selections because of the competitive state of the roster. All in all, the Rams added four offensive players and 1 defensive player. The 2026 class is the smallest in the Sean McVay-Les Snead era. The Rams still retain the best odds (+700) according to FanDuel to win the Super Bowl after the conclusion of the draft. Their rivals, the Seattle Seahawks are +950 while the Buffalo Bills are +1000.
