OFFICIAL 2026 NFL Draft Stuff

[Ram Ts]

For my own sanity, I wish the Rams would settle their OL contract wise. 4/5th pending free agents and other guy with BCs that could sideline him at any unknown time.

I’m guessing the wait is post draft. Why show your hand. Idk. I just hate the unknown - especially at such an import spot (whole OL).

I’ll feel better with 1-2 drafted OL and 1-2 guys extended.

I think he is a left tackle all day. He is 20 years old and while he is 350 - he can move. I think he will be gone by 13 though.

I don't ever trust players at that weight, especially not in the first round. 330 or even 340 is one thing, but 370 (which is what Proctor's been at) is a whole 'nother animal that not even Jordan Mailata (who really is a unicorn at left tackle) has been at.

He would struggle with our blocking scheme, because he can't get to the specific areas to block in space in time (which would be helped if he cut down weight, but again, 350/360/370 is hard to lose a lot of weight with, especially with NFL O-linemen like that), and while he has the feet of a dancing bear, he can't deal with explosive speed or bend (which he'd have to do at left tackle - hence me saying he's a right tackle only) and his technique (dealing with stunts, counter-moves) is poor at the moment.

Proctor is a no-go for me for those reasons. He's got potential for days, but I don't think he ever realizes it with his lacking technique and his fluctuating weight.

Our beat writer Nate Atkins final mock:
1.13 - Freeling, OT

Traded up to 2.41 for 2.61 and a '27 4th
2.41 - Denzel Boston, WR

Traded down to 3.98 for 4.137
3.98 - Kyle Louis, LB

Traded 4.137, 6.207 for 3.100
3.100 - Nussmeier, QB

7.232 - Red Murdock, LB
7.251 - Fernando Carmona, G
7.252 - Latrelll McCutchin, CB

Don't love Freeling but see the reasoning, prefer other OT's but at least Freeling has LT ability. Boston falling to 41 is unlikely, but would absolutely love a trade up to get him there. Louis I like a lot. Nuss at 100 I'm into also.

Honestly, not bad at all.

I would take that draft in a heartbeat.
Besides Freeling and Boston, I like the Carmona pick as well.
He has been steady as a collegiate Tackle, but if he’s more suited to move inside as a pro, so be it.

Besides getting a top WR from this class, the Rams solidify the OL for this year and protect themselves against FA next.

Love Carmona as well. Murdock is one of my favorite late-round picks; set the NCAA record for the most fumbles in a career.
