Ponds is a 2nd round lock now IMO. May even sneak into bottom of 1st. Dude is a baller and with that arm length, he's essentially taller where he needs to be.

Nacua was in the slot considerably more last season. So I think it's a perfectly reasonable assumption that will be his role in 2026.


There are many options at wideout in this class. In fact there will probably be a wideout among the ones who slot from let's say 10-40 who ends up being elite at this level.

Nothing against Lemon, who is a fine wideout. But he's gonna be a slot in the NFL and there are options with upside who project better in the role we will need from them.

He played in the slot, but like 40 percent of his snaps. Nacua is a matchup hunter. I wouldn't put him exclusively at any spot. But you'll need other guys who can also move around if you want to move Nacua. And Mcvay definitely loves moving around his receivers.

Agreed. His size was his only knock. I want not expecting him to come in at right around where plenty of other corners play.

CB Chris Johnson looks very smooth in the drills and posted a 4.4 40. Very impressive. Could be a target at 29 unless he moves up higher than that. I know some here were touting him weeks ago. The dude looks like a player as his numbers & drills match the tape.

At this rate, corners are performing so well that I'm starting not to want one at 13. There's like 6 guys who I think can be #1 on a good team.
 
What The 2025 Draft showed us Rams Fans was how much depth they have on there roster.

The beauty will be The Growth of those 5 players in 2026.

Ferguson missed a lot of training camp.He only showed glimpses of what he can do as a WR/TE.

Stewart as well,but he showed good versatility at LBer,plus his pass rush ability.

Hamilton is still young & should add beef upfront.Turner is another player The Rams are going to have to decide on.Wouldn’t be surprised if The Rams drafted the DT from Clemson.

Really think Hunter is going to be a STUD RB.He adds SO much depth to The Rams stable of RB’s.

Mumpfield was being called the apprentice by D. Adams.He has talked about the rookies upside which should shine more in 2026.

This draft class should really be about BEST PLAYERS available.Meaning if there was a season to trade up for players to WIN NOW,it might be this 2025 draft.

Well if he has good medicals (which are the most important thing for him at the Combine) and then kills his pro day he'll be ok as draft boards go. But I'm already leery of that injury history with him so not a fan of that decision.

I’m not going near this guy in the 1rst round.
Throw in McCoy for that matter.

Yes, exactly. And if the Rams believe Lemon is the one elite guy, take him. There are only so many Pro Bowl and All Pro caliber players in the Draft. If the Rams think Lemon is that guy, they shouldn't arbitrarily restrict themselves.

Why would this kid elect not to participate in the combine? Can teams have him run all the drills at his pro day... 40 times, 3-cone, etc? To me this sounds like his agent telling him he has only one way to go if he participates in the combine and that is DOWN, since he is currently the #1 CB coming out IF he is healthy and he should be since it's been over a year since his injury. And his injury doesn't scare me much as long as he checks out. If the Rams get 4-5 good years out of him... I'm ok with that. Can't count on much more than that anyway. There are very few Aaron Donald's out there, in terms of careers and contracts.

Based on personal experience I can say that there is no way a doctor or anybody else can determine what you will be as a potential 1rst round pick. Fully healed still produces scar tissue.
There will be subtle, unmeasurable differences that only HE can feel.

In a class loaded with CBs, why risk it? I’m not drafting that guy in the 1rst round.
