Pro Football Focus has become one of the most influential voices in breaking down rookie classes, using detailed grading to separate hype from early production. Now, with PFF’s initial grades in hand, there’s a clearer picture of how the Los Angeles Rams draft selections stack up—not just in terms of long-term potential, but based on what they’ve already put on film.
Ty Simpson, QB, Alabama: 87.7

CJ Daniels, WR, Miami: 74.0

Tim Keenan III, DL, Alabama: 68.0
PFF: Keenan earned a 68.0 overall PFF defensive grade in the 2025 season, 363rd among 887 qualified interior defensive linemans. His PFF pass-rush grade of 62.9 ranked 336th among 887 qualified interior defensive linemans. His run-defense grade of 71.1 ranked 337th at the position.
He generated 9 total pressures as a pass rusher. That total included 3 sacks, 6 hurries, 0 hits. Against the run, he recorded 7 solo tackles. He also forced 1 fumbles on the season.
The Rams may have found solid talent with their five picks. Ty Simpson and Keagan Trost appear to be the most NFL ready. However, Ty Simpson will obviously be sitting behind Matthew Stafford until the franchise quarterback retires. Max Klare, CJ Daniels, and Tim Keenan all have upside but have a few deficiencies in their game to work on before finding themselves on the field at the NFL level.
