The Los Angeles Rams<\/a> addressed several needs during the 2026 NFL draft.<\/p>\n

The Rams<\/a> emphasized the offensive side of the ball, making up the majority of their draft class, using their first four picks on offense.<\/p>\n

The Rams fell just one game short of their Super Bowl aspirations last season.<\/p>\n

Los Angeles came up just short and lost to the Seattle Seahawks<\/a> 31-27 in the NFC Championship Game, leaving part of the fan base believing they would add a player early in the draft who could contribute early in the upcoming season.<\/p>\n

Instead, Los Angeles provided one of the biggest surprises of the draft<\/a> with the selection of Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson in the first round with the 13th overall pick.<\/p>\n

The Rams finished out their five-pick draft class with just one defensive selection, opting not to address the need at cornerback.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s an early look at the Rams\u2019 depth draft with the inclusion of the incoming rookies who were selected.<\/p>\n

Rams’ undrafted free agent targets, needs<\/p>\n

The Rams did not draft a cornerback throughout the seven-round NFL Draft. While the Rams are likely to look for a more experienced option to round out the roster closer to the season, the team can continue to explore the undrafted free agent market for depth.<\/p>\n

Houston cornerback Latrell McCutchin Sr. would’ve been an option to consider, but he has already signed with the Tennessee Titans.<\/p>\n
