The Los Angeles Rams have met with six of this year's top prospects ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft.
The Los Angeles Rams will look to add to their loaded roster as the 2026 NFL Draft approaches.
The Rams are coming off a season in which they were a game away from reaching their third Super Bowl in the last eight seasons. However, they fell short to the eventual champions, the Seattle Seahawks, in the NFC Championship game. Now the page has turned to the 2026 season, and they are determined to build a legitimate Super Bowl team.
L.A. doesn't need to make any massive changes to its roster, and the draft could be the perfect place to do just that. The Rams have had success selecting elite players in the draft, and they'll look to repeat that success in 2026.
The Rams have two first-round picks and roughly 10 picks total in April's draft. They'll look to utilize every single one of their picks, and they are doing their due diligence at this week's NFL Scouting Combine.
The Rams have met with six top prospects on Friday, including USC star wide receiver Makai Lemon and Miami edge rusher Rueben Bain Jr.
Other top prospects the Rams met with include Notre Dame All-American running back, Jeremiyah Love and LSU's star cornerback Mansoor Delane.
Lemon was among those who spoke to the media on Friday. He spoke about his biggest struggles in college.
"Just not seeing the field....not getting those opportunities getting presented to myself," Lemon said. "Taught me to be patient, stay down, keep working hard, and when they do come up, take full advantage. Don't take any opportunity for granted."
The USC standout is among those linked to the Rams, as well as Dealne and Bain Jr.
Luckily, the Rams don’t have an urgent need at the game’s most important position — quarterback — but adding depth elsewhere remains critical. Reinforcements at wide receiver, edge rusher, cornerback and along the offensive line should be high on the priority list.
Los Angeles could go a variety of ways in the draft, and it remains to be seen what way that will go.
General manager Les Snead is focusing on rebuilding the secondary with the cornerback as it is by far the team's biggest need. If the Rams can bolster the cornerback position, plus tweak other areas on the roster, they could be the last team standing when the 2026 season is all said and done.
The NFL Draft will be on April 23 through the 25th in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
