The NFL as a whole overvalues 1st round draft picks. But the real reason the Rams excel is because they're better at drafting than all but two or three teams. Take the 2023 draft, if pretty much everyone you select turns into a starter, you can live indefinitely without 1st round picks.

A lot of mock drafts have 4 Buckeyes going in the top 10, how did Ryan Day not win it all? Is he the football version of John Calapari, great recruiter but not a great head coach
That’s only because The 2 best OT’s should be of the Draft Board.
Last thing I am going to do for the next few weeks is to think who The Rams might draft ? I could see The Rams trading out of the 1st rd completely still.
A TE that high would’ve been silly.I can still see The Rams drafting a CB. Sean Mcvay talked about how defenses have changed.
He understands what teams did to The Rams to stop them.
I wouldn't mind trading down a little and grabbing him to help move up in the second
2026 NFL draft rankings: Top 50 prospects on Miller's board
Matt Miller is back from the combine and updated his 2026 NFL draft rankings, listing his top 50 players and breaking down their best traits.www.espn.com
17. Omar Cooper Jr. WR, Indiana
Height: 6-0 | Weight: 199
Cooper made the catch of the year with his acrobatic toe-tap in the back of the end zone for the winner touchdown against Penn State, but he's much more than that highlight. Cooper is an elite route runner who moves well through traffic and dominates the middle of the field. His ability to pick up yards after the catch is equally impressive, which allowed him to rack up 937 yards and 13 touchdowns on 69 catches last season. Cooper has slot and outside alignment experience and versatility, making him an ideal No. 2 receiver.
