Rams' Draft Ripples: Vets' Roles Shaken
Description
The Los Angeles Rams took a conservative approach in the 2026 NFL Draft, adding just five players, with three in the top 100. This hands-off strategy kept their roster mostly unchanged, creating subtle shifts in the depth chart for several veterans. Linebacker Omar Speights, cornerback Emmanuel Forbes, and wideouts Jordan Whittington, Konata Mumpfield, and Xavier Smith secure their roles without new challengers. Running back Jarquez Hunter benefits from the teams decision to not draft a back, securing his depth spot. Quarterback Stetson Bennett faces pressure as the Rams invested heavily in Ty Simpson, who will likely compete for QB2. Defensive lineman Ty Hamilton may see his role diminish with Tim Keenans arrival. As training camp approaches, these draft ripples will test whos rising and whos on the bubble.
