The breakdown of the prospects, if you believe it's accurate, really speaks to the Rams specific needs, and, imo.. makes an argument for a combination of trades to get the most picks possible in the first three rounds.

You could easily end up with:

A day one starting corner
A 3rd WR who projects to being a number 2
An OT to backup/develop
An Edge who can rotate in an potentially replace Byron Young
Another Corner to compete for playing time and develop
A starting safety (this would be if Curl is not re-signed) or An IOL, or a DL

And you'd still have a few more picks for random shots.

An alternative to that is definitely possible.
Of course, they MUST get one reliable corner in FA.
They could find a couple of valuable depth pieces to rotate on Dline and edge in FA
And keep the picks as-is.. and hope for a difference-maker at 13 and keep the picks as-is.

One note.. I love Makai Lemon as a football player... LOVE HIM.. but I cannot see drafting him at that spot for *this* team. I think they have a decent player in Mumpfield who has some similar physical traits.. and his play style overlaps a lot with Puka, imo.. and they'll also have Ferg working over the middle a bunch. I wouldn't take him that high.

If Delane is gone at 13... I'm doing everything I can to trade down. I think the other corners are stacked together more and the Rams will find a likely day-1 starter at end of the first round.

Analysis:

Neither Terrance Ferguson nor Josaiah Stewart received even 40 percent of the Rams' regular-season snaps in Year 1, but both rookies played meaningful roles for a near-Super Bowl team. Los Angeles was at the forefront of the heavy-personnel trend in 2025, with Sean McVay befuddling opposing defensive coordinators by deploying scores of tight ends across the formation. The 6-5, 252-pound Ferguson provided the kind of versatile game that fueled the Rams’ usage of 12 and 13 personnel. Just ask the mad scientist himself.

"He's everything and that much more than I hoped he would be, and I had tremendously high hopes for him," McVay said in his end-of-season presser. "I think that he's going to be a huge part of what we're going to do for years to come."

Stewart was Les Snead’s latest D-line hit, adding yet another QB hunter to the rabid young front that has become this team’s defensive identity. In the regular season, Stewart had the highest pass-rush win rate (15.3%, per PFF) of any rookie edge.

I'm honestly at the point with this kid I wouldn't want him. Either he's got screwed up ideas in his head of what he should do or or he's got really idiotic people advising him. I get wanting that last $4 million payday for college but you're potentially hurting yourself in next years draft and delaying a potential 2nd NFL contract.

I keep calling him a kid until I remember that he's older than Drake Maye
After his post season, he had the world by the balls and had an opportunity to potentially be the 2nd or 3rd QB taken.
Took really bad advice and while it will pay off in the short term, long term wise this just was a bad situation all around

Just off the top of my head I probably put him around like 6th in the 2027 draft class? Could still be a 1st rounder with a good year but it's a big gamble IMO.

If he's 5'11 he may not get drafted next year
Still would have been no worse the 3rd round this year
I dont wish harm on the guy, but karma is such a beyotch.

Actually looking at the list he's probably even lower than 6th. I didn't include Maiava, Mensa and Sorsby. I don't know much about the OK St kid Mestemaker but some sites have him 6th in next years class. I'd probably put him about even with Mateer good but IMO not the athlete Chambliss is.

I jumped on his hype train when Chambliss beat UGA. It kind of reminded me of the Cardale Jones hype train I jumped on back in the day. I truly believe that Jones would have been a 1st round pick even with the limited play, had he gone pro after the Natty.
Went back, had a decent year, ended up like a mid round pick.
Some times guys gotta strike while the iron's hot
