The Los Angeles Rams, who were the only team to give the Philadelphia Eagles a run for their money in last postseason, have Les Snead to thank for it, who formed an entire defensive line in a single draft. The drafting of Jared Verse and Braden Fiske in the first two rounds of the 2024 NFL draft created a defensive front that no team had an answer for, and adding interior defensive lineman Poona Ford in 2025 free agency has only made it scarier. While parting ways with Cooper Kupp might sting a bit to Rams fans, the arrival of Davante Adams will certainly help in healing it.
What are the Los Angeles Rams' biggest needs in the 2025 NFL Draft?
While Rams can always take advantage if someone like tight end Colston Loveland falls all the way to 26, their single biggest need is at cornerback. With Matthew Stafford not getting any younger, it wouldn’t be a far-fetched idea if LA opts for a long-term answer at the most important position.
#3 Quarterback
Matthew Stafford is in the twilight of his career, and Stetson Bennett has not exactly shown why he should be given the reins of this franchise in the post-Stafford era. The upcoming draft might not have the top-end talent like its predecessors, but it certainly has some alluring signal callers like Jaxson Dart, Jalen Milroe, and Quinn Ewers, who could certainly use a year or two, and what better way to learn than sitting behind Matthew Stafford. The Rams invited Tyler Shough, Jalen Milroe, and Quinn Ewers for pre-draft visits according to Yahoo Sports.
#2 Linebackers
The departure of Christian Rozeboom and Jake Hummel in free agency didn’t help, but the Rams have needed help at this position for quite some time. The signing of Nate Landman, while also keeping Troy Reeder and Omar Speights, helps, but the team is still in need of at least one off-ball linebacker, if not more, to add depth. Danny Stutsman from Oklahoma and Carson Bruener from Washington were the two linebackers to get invited by LA for a pre-draft visit, as per Yahoo Sports.
#1 Cornerbacks
While a team could do much worse than the trio of Cobie Durant, Darious Williams, and Ahkello Witherspoon, the Rams need to infuse some young talent. While Josh Wallace, an undrafted rookie, stepped up tremendously last year when called for (86.5 PFF grade for the 2024 season), the overall performance from the group was underwhelming, and injury to Darious Williams also played a huge factor in it. Out of the 8 defensive players that the Rams invited to pre-draft visits, five of them were cornerbacks/safeties, as reported by Yahoo Sports.
