The Los Angeles Rams could use some help in these three offensive positions as the NFL Draft approaches.
The Los Angeles Rams are among the top teams in the league with the offseason underway, having established themselves as a juggernaut in the league. With the upcoming draft, the Rams have another opportunity to further strengthen an already loaded roster.
While the Rams don’t have many glaring needs on offense, there are still a few areas they could upgrade to elevate the unit. After back-to-back heartbreaking playoff exits, Los Angeles is motivated to finally get over the hump and bring the city another title.
If their goal is to be the last team standing, addressing these three offensive positions could be key to making a Super Bowl run a reality. The Rams have a chance to draft a game-changer with their 13th overall pick, and they could go a multitude of ways.
Wide Receiver
The Rams were arguably one reliable wide receiver away from not only representing the NFC in last season's Super Bowl but winning it all. One of the Rams' glaring weaknesses on offense was their lack of a WR3. Their options on that front were not strong, but that could all change in 2026.
Apart from Davante Adams or Puka Nacua, no other receiver on the roster secured more than 500 yards receiving, and that includes the tight ends. An improvement is desperately needed here.
The Rams have a chance to take an elite wide receiver prospect who could help them right out of the gate and down the road. Los Angeles will have plenty of options to choose from, including Makai Lemon, Carnell Tate, Denzel Boston, and Jordyn Tyson, to name a few.
Offensive Line
Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is what makes things go for Los Angeles. Without him upright and healthy, Los Angeles will have no shot at making a deep playoff run. Protecting the 38-year-old heading into his 18th season is imperative.
When Stafford is on his feet, the Rams are a well-oiled machine; without him, they're a mediocre football team. On top of that, injuries and inconsistency along the offensive line have hurt the Rams in the past.
Drafting a reliable and elite player, whether tackle or guard, could take the Rams to another level on offense. Adding an elite, young player in the draft would not only stabilize protection but also help sustain the run game, giving the offense more balance moving forward.
Running Back
Although Kyren Williams has established himself as a top 10 back in the league, the Rams could benefit from adding more depth and versatility.
Fellow running back Blake Corum has shown he could be a reliable piece for L.A. However, there are still questions about consistency, durability, and long-term workload.
Adding another young running back would give the Rams a more complete rotation, taking a lot of the load off Williams and Corum. In an offense that thrives on play-action and balance, having a deeper, more dynamic backfield could elevate the whole unit.
