What are the Rams' draft needs in 2025?

According to NFL.com, the LA Rams' five most pressing draft needs are linebacker, cornerback, offensive line, tight end and wide receiver. They have eight picks to fill these needs.

The Los Angeles Rams have a glaring need at off-ball linebacker; it's a spot that they'll need to address sooner rather than later. However, the Rams hardly ever use a high pick for the position, so it'll be interesting to see what the front office does.

Furthermore, the Rams need a new starting cornerback ahead of the 2025 regular season. A name that seems tailor-made for Sean McVay's side is Michigan standout Will Johnson. Johnson excelled as the Wolverines' primary lockdown cornerback, and he has the physique to go against NFL wide receivers from Day 1.

The Rams hold the 26th overall pick in this year's draft. However, they might need to trade up in order to snag arguably the best CB (not named Travis Hunter) in the draft.

Also, Matthew Stafford could use a new tight end for the 2025 season. This year's draft is filled with high-potential TEs, so the front office should take a closer look at the position.
