The Rams drafting TE Terrance Ferguson feels like a long time coming. The Rams ranked 4th in EPA/pass out of 12 personnel last season. If you think Sean McVay isn’t cooking up something…you haven’t been paying attention.

A way-too-early look at QBs the Rams could target with their extra 2026 first-round pick: 🔹 Arch Manning 🔹 LaNorris Sellers 🔹 Drew Allar 🔹 Fernando Mendoza 🔹 Nico Iamaleava This class could define the post-Stafford era in LA.

There is going to be a lot of focus on Arch Manning to the Rams for obvious reasons. ...however, he's only started 2 games and both Peyton/Eli played for four years. May not even come out in '26. I'm much more intrigued by LaNorris Sellers at QB post-Stafford. Even like upside of Drew Allar.

The details of Matthew Stafford's revised deal with the Rams have been released. 🔵 2 years, $80M 🟡 $56M guaranteed 🔵Team-friendly cap-hits. 🟡 Multiple Void Years The Rams just gave themselves room to spend now without mortgaging the future.

Matthew Stafford's revised contract with the Rams via OverTheCap. 🔵 Team-friendly cap hits of $40.97M & $41.77M 🟡 Open up $8.7M in cap space. Rams now with $24.6M 🔵 Provides clarity - Stafford likely two years left. This is Rams current window.

What if the Rams had taken Trey Amos at 46 instead of a TE? I drafted along with every Rams pick—and the results were very different. My 2025 Rams Shadow Draft ⬇️

Value picks, scheme fits, and one major “trust the process” moment… Grading the Rams’ 2025 NFL Draft haul with superlatives. #NFLDraft #Rams

The Rams didn’t draft an offensive lineman. They didn’t draft an early wide receiver. They barely touched cornerback. And yet... the 2025 roster might quietly be coming together perfectly. 👀 A post-draft look at the Rams depth chart.

The Rams' 2025 Draft was all about balance: win now, plan for later. Terrance Ferguson, a potential Jalen Ramsey reunion, and some bold bets for 2026. 🔥 Here are my 10 big takeaways from the weekend!

I really do like what the Rams did with this draft class. It probably won’t line up with '23 or '24, but added some solid pieces. Love Ferguson, Hunter, Paul, and Mumpfield. Everything Snead did fits where the team build is at right now.

Rams current UDFA class: LB Shaun Dolac, Buffalo EDGE Jamil Muhammad, USC iOL Trey Wedig, Indiana WR Brennan Presley, Oklahoma State RB Jordan Waters, North Carolina State DL Da’Jon Terry, Oklahoma WR Tru Edwards, Louisiana Tech S Nate Vacarce, NIU WR Mario Williams, Tulane iOL Willie Lampkin, UNC

Jarquez Hunter has been a popular player that I have mocked for the Rams. Made my final mock draft and included him in my Day 3 mock this morning. Brings 4.4 speed and only behind RJ Harvey in career explosive run rate. 33% of his runs b/2 the tackles went for 10+ yards.

Terrance Ferguson made my Snead's Snacks list as an honorable mention. Was one of my winners among tight ends at The Combine. He tested really well. Showed out in Mobile at the Senior Bowl. Think he's going to be a great fit in the Rams offense.

Terrance Ferguson is an explosive athlete. Over 25% of his catches last year went for 20+ yards. Everything he does is physical. Runs physical routes. He's physical after the catch as he ranked 3rd in YAC/rec. Willing blocker.

It wasn't just WR Tet McMillan that the Rams tried to trade up for last night. Per The Dan Patrick Show, the Rams also tried to move up to take WR Emeka Egbuka. Would love TE Mason Taylor at 46 if he's there. Guessing that may be a WR like Noel/Higgins, Bech, or even Ayomanor.

I wrote a while back about what the Rams' goal of the 2025 draft should be. There was a big feeling that the player at 15 not being that different than the player at 50. "This is no longer a team building a roster, but rather one trying to supplement a roster."

The 2026 first in the trade back with Atlanta gives the Rams so much flexibility. 1. Can use it at the deadline to trade for a star. 2. Can also hold on to it and add two first-round caliber players next year. 3. Could also use it as ammo to move up for QB1 post-Stafford.

Notable: The 3rd round pick at 101 that the Rams sent to the Falcons is the compensatory pick that they received for Raheem Morris. Played a big role in getting the '26 first.

The Rams move back from 26 to 46 and stay in a good value position in this draft class. They receive a 2026 first round pick which allows them to be competitive and gives them ammo to move up next year if needed for a QB. Les Snead cooked.

Les Snead working his magic! The Rams get a 2026 first round pick to move back from 26 to 46. They give up pick 101 but also get a 7th rounder. That is the type of ammo needed to make a move for a QB in a good QB class.

The Rams ARE trading back...with the Atlanta Falcons which would put them at 46th overall tomorrow.

Potential Rams fit at wide receiver, Emeka Egbuka, goes to the Buccaneers.

With Warren off of the board, the Rams will miss out on the top-two tight ends. Still...wouldn't overlook Mason Taylor. Has gotten some recent late-first round buzz. A guy coaches really like. Good trade-back candidate as well.

Ugh...The Bears end up with TE Colston Loveland. Would have been a GREAT fit for the Rams. Will be interesting to see if the Rams look to move up for Tyler Warren.

The Browns going Mason Graham at 5 is good for the Rams if they want to trade back. A chance that part of the haul that James Gladstone sent to the Browns ends up with Les Snead. Cleveland could look to trade up from the early 2nd round to get their QB.

Wow...Former Rams director of scouting strategy James Gladstone with his first big move! The Jaguars have traded up to the second overall pick, presumably to take Travis Hunter!

My top-5 players that I would LOVE to see the Rams draft tonight (if they don't trade back)... 1. S Malaki Starks 2. TE Colston Loveland 3. WR Matthew Golden 4. CB Maxwell Hairston/Trey Amos 5. Anything but a quarterback.

Have been gaining an appreciation for live albums. Also missed this one on RSD and had to cop it. Gracie Abrams: Live from Radio City Music Hall.

One of Brandon Thorn's 'my guys' on the OL is Ozzy Trapilo. Said Thorn, "Trapilo has a polished, well-rounded skill-set with good play strength and a firm understanding of leverages...Trapilo’s projection to the NFL is reminiscent of current Rams RT Rob Havenstein’s."

New Vinyl arrived. Missed MJ Lenderman: Live and Let Loose on RSD, but caved and ordered online. Nothing like some good Indie Rock.

...and we finally made it! It's my final Rams mock draft of the season. Sean McVay finally gets his tight end.

Starting to pencil in picks for my final Rams mock. Debating between two. Similar, but few differences. 26: Starks | Taylor 90: Trapilo | Trapilo 101: Turner | Turner 127: Mondon | Parrish 190: TeSlaa | TeSlaa 195: Hunter | Kiser 201: Fidone | Hunter 202: Rogers | Rogers

Daniel Jeremiah on Rams at 26: "I look at the CBs as being an option for them there. I wouldn't sleep on a guy like Mason Taylor. Trey Amos to me struck me as a Les Snead type of player."

Daniel Jeremiah on right now with media talking the 2025 NFL Draft. DJ talks about the gap between Loveland/Warren and the rest of the TEs. Mentions Mason Taylor as an "emerging player". Everyone is comfortable with him. Could go back-half of round 1."

My 5 favorite fits at TE for the Rams in the 2025 NFL Draft: 1. Colston Loveland, Michigan 2. Mason Taylor, LSU 3. Elijah Arroyo, Miami 4. Thomas Fidone II, Nebraska 5. Jalin Conyers, Texas Tech Fidone has a WR background which shows up in his routes. Brings dog mentality as blocker.

My 5 favorite fits at WR for the Rams in the 2025 NFL Draft: 1. Matthew Golden, Texas 2. Emeka Egbuka, OSU 3. Jayden Higgins, ISU 4. Jack Bech, TCU 5. Isaac TeSlaa TeSlaa has upside as a route-runner w/YAC potential and good blocker + caught 5/6 contested catches.

My 5 favorite fits at LB for the Rams in the 2025 NFL Draft: 1. Danny Stutsman, OU 2. Smael Mondon Jr., UGA 3. Jack Kiser, ND 4. Cody Lindenberg, Minnesota 5. Teddye Buchanan, Cal Mondon feels like a Ram. Comfortable in coverage. Productive, disciplined tackler.

Five of my favorite Rams fits at CB in the 2025 NFL Draft: 1. Maxwell Hairston, UK 2. Jacob Parrish, KSU 3. Quincy Riley, Louisville 4. Robert Longerbeam, Rutgers 5. Mac McWilliams, UCF Parrish is alignment versatile and had 21 PBUs and 5 INTs last two years.

Probably my most in-depth Rams-focus draft project. 300 players graded based solely on Rams fit and placed into buckets. From the Senior Bowl to the Combine and countless player interviews/conversations. My Rams draft fits top-300 big board is LIVE!

Down 2-0 to Ipswitch at home while fighting for top-4. At that point, idc what Maresca has done at Chelsea. Losing twice to a team of Ipswitch's caliber is a sackable offense. Same story...come out with intensity for first 15-20, don't capitalize, then a big drop-off.

Outside of Tyler Warren, Colston Loveland, Mason Taylor, and Thomas Fidone II might be my favorite TE options for the Rams. Loveland and Taylor are exciting players. Fidone a little bit more of a risk, but hard not to like the upside.

At linebacker...I do think there's a reason Rams brought back Reeder. Not sure they're a fan of the round 3 group. Danny Stutsman makes sense there...BUT I would watch Smael Mondon Jr., Cody Lindenberg, Carson Bruener, or even Teddye Buchanan on Day 3.

Really curious to see how Rams address the CB position in the draft. Don't necessarily need an immediate starter, but if they go early, I do like Maxwell Hairston. Later? Jacob Parrish, Robert Longerbeam, or Mac McWilliams would be solid fits.

Sometimes the idea is better than the reality. Kyle Shanahan learned the hard way taking that bet on Trey Lance. Sean McVay and the Rams need to avoid that same mistake with Jalen Milroe.

The Rams are bringing back LB Troy Reeder per the team. Figured the Rams wouldn't bring back Reeder after signing Nate Landman. Both have similar skillset. Experienced player to have, but do not get the obsession. Don't think it eliminates drafting a linebacker.

Wrapping up my Rams positional "buckets" series today which will lead into my Fits Big Board and Snead's Snacks. Finishing on the defensive line. Other position groups linked in story.

My top-325 player Rams fits big board is 95% complete. A few players will likely move after last bit of work I do Thursday/Friday, but nearly there. Players ranked and placed in buckets. Final product released in an article next Wednesday.

That ending sums up that game. Very very sloppy. Great game. Bad basketball. Feel so bad for Houston and Kelvin Sampson. They’ve been so close so many times.

Have been saying it for awhile, but players like Jahdae Barron and Malaki Starks are math-changing players for the Rams defense...much more so than adding a linebacker.
