The Los Angeles Rams kicked off their 2026 NFL Draft with a quarterback to sit behind Matthew Stafford, when they took Alabama’s Ty Simpson at No. 13.

They then selected Ohio State tight end Max Klare at No. 61 in the second round and Missouri guard Keagen Trost at No. 93 in the third. The Rams enter Day 3 without a fourth- or fifth-round selection. They have one sixth-rounder at No. 207 and three seventh-rounders at Nos. 232, 251 and 252.

Here are some players who could be on their radar if available when the Rams are on the clock on Day 3.

Kyle Louis, LB, Pittsburgh: As the Rams look toward athletic linebackers with the upside for a potential upgrade, Louis stands out. He stuffed the stat sheet at Pittsburgh with 182 tackles, 50 pressures, 24 tackles for loss, 10 sacks, 12 passes defended, six interceptions and two forced fumbles over the past two seasons. He can’t maintain the same “star” position in this scheme with Quentin Lake’s and Trent McDuffie’s presences, but he can add splash plays and good coverage next to Nate Landman and could be an active player on special teams, too.

Travis Burke, OT, Memphis: The Rams need a swing tackle, and they might need a starting right tackle in a year if they don’t re-sign Warren McClendon Jr. Burke has four years of starting experience, including last year at Memphis, where his draft stock soared with a strong performance in both run and pass blocking. He’s a bit limited in range, but the Rams help their tackles out with monstrous guards, play action and three-tight end sets. He could be a swing tackle next season with the potential to grow into a starter.

Red Murdock, LB, Buffalo: The Rams signed Grant Stuard to be a hair-on-fire special-teamer with backup abilities, and Murdock plays much the same way, if they want to look to the future. He led all defenders over the past two seasons with 298 total tackles, and he also set the FBS record with 17 forced fumbles. That came at the Mid-American Conference level, so he projects more as a backup and special-teamer in the NFL, but those are areas where the Rams need help.

Logan Taylor, G, Boston College: The Rams have future needs all across their offensive line with four starters set to hit free agency in a year. They also have depth concerns. It would make sense for them to use some late picks on players with the potential to become future starters. Taylor fits that mold. He logged at least 100 snaps at four offensive line spots, showcasing the kind of versatility that teams love in a backup. His best long-term fit appears to be at guard, where his rugged style could create a future beyond Kevin Dotson if the Rams decide they can’t pay both Dotson and Steve Avila.

Kaden Wetjen, WR, Iowa: The Rams will likely hunt for a wide receiver early, but they could round out the group with the right special teams player on Day 3. Wetjen fits the bill after setting a program record with six return touchdowns at Iowa, which has a long history of elite special teams. He was an All-American last year and led the nation with a 26.8-yard average and three scores on punt returns. He’s more of a short-range gadget receiver on offense, but McVay could find uses for that if Wetjen can lock down a punt-return role.

Billy Schrauth, G, Notre Dame: If the Rams want to take a flier on a potential future starting guard, Schrauth is an option. He started for the past two and a half years on one of the nation’s top run offense while showing versatility at left and right guard. He has had surgeries on his left foot and right ankle and also missed five games with an MCL sprain, so his durability is a question. But Schrauth’s tape shows a player who can bring a nasty demeanor and real athleticism, with a chance to play a role similar to Avila’s.

Kaleb Proctor, DL, Southeastern Louisiana: The Rams don’t have many needs on the defensive line, but they love to look at upside picks late in the draft. Proctor flashed that potential in three years at Southeastern Louisiana, where he turned down opportunities to transfer to bigger schools and became the Southland Conference Player of the Year. He posted an on-field time of 20.95 mph at the combine, which was the fastest among defensive tackles. As a prospect, he’s similar to Kobie Turner, who was a big hit for the Rams in the third round in 2023.

Latrell McCutchin Sr., CB, Houston: The Rams are mostly set in the secondary after trading for Trent McDuffie, signing Jaylen Watson and re-signing Kam Curl, which is why you’re just now seeing this position on the list. But they do have room for one more outside cornerback after losing three this offseason. McCutchin fits what they should be looking for, thanks to his special teams prowess, which includes blocking a field goal and an extra point and logging lots of work on punt coverage. At 6-foot-2, 191 pounds, he’s built similarly to Emmanuel Forbes Jr. and could absorb that top outside backup role in time if he adds weight to his frame.

Fernando Carmona, G, Arkansas: Carmona brings some of the same versatility as Taylor, at least on the left side, after logging 49 starts over the past four seasons between tackle and guard. He was an All-SEC performer at left guard last season, suggesting that’s his true future home. With 32 1/8-inch arms, he isn’t the rangy athlete of some other options with starting potential, but he could be a very strong backup at a spot where the Rams need some help.

Pat Coogan, C, Indiana: The Rams need a backup center and also a potential future starter if they opt against re-signing Coleman Shelton in a year. Coogan has a strong track record between his time at Notre Dame and Indiana, with appearances in the national championship game in each of the past two seasons. His play is inconsistent enough to wonder if he can ever be a starter at the next level, but the way he ascended in the College Football Playoff by not allowing a sack last season, he’s worth a watch. He could be a versatile backup who could fill in at center or guard.
