Episode Details

Rams fans, brace for the 2026 NFL draft! Insider Nate Atkins from The Athletic predicts Les Snead and Sean McVay will snag multiple offensive linemen. While a first-round pick makes sense, its not the top play. The team needs a reliable swing tackle, especially with only Alaric Jackson secured past next season. Right tackle Rob Havenstein is solid now, but cap constraints may hinder extensions for guards and stars like Puka Nacua. Depth is scarce across the line. Many anticipate an early receiver pick, potentially at thirteenth, to enhance the passing game. This could push O-line help to later rounds, but it keeps the unit fresh amidst contract drama. Atkins highlights top targets like Miamis Francis Mauigoa, Alabamas Kadyn Proctor, and Utahs Spencer Fano or Caleb Lomu for the thirteenth slot. More talent awaits at picks sixty-one and ninety-three, plus late rounds. In essence, these moves could fortify the trenches for years, positioning the Rams strongly for future pursuits.
