26. Los Angeles Rams, Top Draft Pick Prediction: Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State​

Previous selection in Mock Draft 4.0: Josh Simmons, OT

Best Draft Targets for the Rams With the 26th Pick:

  • Offensive Line: The Rams made a short-term commitment to left tackle Alaric Jackson, bringing him back on a three-year contract. That doesn’t solve everything, though, as right tackle Rob Havenstein is in his final contract year at age 33. North Dakota State’s Grey Zabel might be appealing due to his position versatility. Oregon’s Josh Conerly Jr. or Ohio State’s Josh Simmons could also be targets.
  • Defensive Back: Ahkello Witherspoon, Kamren Curl, Derion Kendrick, Quentin Lake, and Cobie Durant are all entering the final years of their contracts. If the Rams don’t add to the secondary this year, they could be in a bad spot in the 2026 offseason.
  • Wide Receiver: The addition of Davante Adams helps, but he might only be there for one year given the massive cap hit he carries in 2026. Ohio State’s Emeka Egbuka has the outside/slot versatility the Rams seem to covet in their receivers.
  • Quarterback: With a 37-year-old franchise quarterback, the Rams would be foolish not to at least spend some extra time with quarterbacks like Ole Miss’ Jaxson Dart, Ohio State’s Will Howard, and Louisville’s Tyler Shough. It’s unlikely, but if they fall in love with one of them, this could be the year the Rams add Stafford’s eventual replacement.
