INGLEWOOD — The Rams made an addition to their receiver room to open Day 3 of the NFL draft, trading up 10 spots in the sixth round to select Miami receiver CJ Daniels with the 197th overall pick.
Daniels spent six seasons in college across Liberty, LSU and Miami. He had a 1,000-yard, 10-touchdown season in his final year at Liberty in 2023, then caught 50 passes for 557 yards and seven touchdowns in 2025 with Miami.
The 6-foot-2 Daniels doesn’t have great speed, but is a physical player who is strong at the point of the catch.
The Rams traded picks to Nos. 207, 251 and 252 to the Philadelphia Eagles in order to move up to No. 197 and make the pick.
