Warming up to Brazzell the more I watch. He has some amazing traits just played at a school that notoriously doesn't use WR's correctly for the NFL game.
This is a reason I can see Rams passing on WR in 1st. Guys like Brazzell, Hurst, Lance, etc will be available in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. OT's are slim after 1st IMO. Again, I'm not advocating taking one, but I can 100% see the reasoning and it could possibly be the right choice. If AJ or McClendon go down, we could all be heaping praise on the pick. BUT, if we foresee definitely resigning McClendon, perhaps 1st is too high for a back up swing tackle? That is why Fano is so intriguing, can back up everyone on the line potentially. And fill in for one of the OG's we are likely going to have to let walk after the season.

I'm out on any skill player from Tenn till Heupel leaves. It's honestly one of those I'll believe it when I see it kinda things with one of their guys doing well in the NFL. Whatever they play, it ain't football over there.

Here are the Team needs, by draft order.
Here is the complete 2026 NFL Draft team needs analysis for all 32 teams, presented in the current projected first-round draft order (as of late March 2026). This is based exclusively on sources updated or published after March 15, 2026, primarily NFL.com’s “Five biggest roster needs for all 32 teams” (published March 24, updated March 26) and ESPN’s “2026 NFL draft team needs: Depth chart holes, prospect fits” (published ~March 26, post-free agency).
The draft order reflects the final 2025 season standings with known trades (e.g., Rams at #13 via Atlanta, Jets at #16 via Indianapolis). Needs reflect post-free agency rosters, including signings, trades, releases (e.g., Kyler Murray from Arizona), and departures. Trenches (OL, Edge, DL), secondary (CB, S), WR, and QB dominate for rebuilding teams, while contenders focus on depth and sustainability.
1. Las Vegas Raiders
Top Needs: QB, WR, OL, DL (DT), CB (Post-FA: Heavy emphasis on surrounding a potential franchise QB like Fernando Mendoza with protection and weapons; interior DL and corner also critical.)
2. New York Jets
Top Needs: QB, Edge, WR, CB, OL (Post-FA: Bridge QB added (e.g., Geno Smith mentioned in context), but long-term signal-caller, pass rush, and supporting Garrett Wilson remain priorities.)
3. Arizona Cardinals
Top Needs: QB, OL (esp. RT), Edge, DL, LB (Post-FA: Kyler Murray released, bridge QB signed; right tackle and line protection urgent, plus defensive front and linebacker depth.)
4. Tennessee Titans
Top Needs: OL, Edge, WR, RB, LB (Post-FA: Offensive line and edge rush lead; some defensive help added, freeing focus on run game and skill support.)
5. New York Giants
Top Needs: OL (esp. RG/OT or IOL), DL, WR, LB, CB (Post-FA: Line protection and interior DL highlighted; new coaching staff (e.g., John Harbaugh context) influences secondary and linebacker views.)
6. Cleveland Browns
Top Needs: QB, OL (esp. OT), WR, CB, Edge/DL (Post-FA: Quarterback and left tackle holes glaring; receiver room needs lift beyond current options.)
7. Washington Commodes
Top Needs: WR, CB, Edge, OL, RB (Post-FA: Pass-catchers and corner depth key; edge and line for balance.)
8. New Orleans Saints
Top Needs: WR (big-bodied), Edge, CB, DL, OL (Post-FA: Receiver help emphasized alongside pass rush and secondary; some TE additions noted but WR remains a hole.)
9. Kansas City Chiefs
Top Needs: CB, WR, Edge, DL (DT), LB/S (Post-FA: Secondary losses (e.g., corners, safety) and defensive line/edge depth critical despite offensive additions like Kenneth Walker.)
10. Cincinnati Bengals
Top Needs: DL (DT/interior), LB, OL (IOL), DB/S, Edge (Post-FA: Interior pass rush and linebacker priorities; some safety additions like Bryan Cook noted.)
11. Miami Dolphins
Top Needs: WR, CB, Edge, OL, S (Post-FA: Receiver depth after potential moves (e.g., Waddle trade context); corner and edge for defense.)
12. Dallas Cowboys
Top Needs: Edge, LB, CB, DL, OL (Post-FA: Pass rush and linebacker depth persist despite some trades/signings; health concerns factored in.)
13. Los Angeles Rams (via Atlanta)
Top Needs: WR, OL (esp. OT), Edge, LB, DB (Post-FA: Dependable third receiver and line protection; defensive depth.)
14. Baltimore Ravens
Top Needs: IOL (esp. C, replacing Linderbaum), DT, WR, Edge, CB (Post-FA: Interior line fortification for Lamar Jackson; DT optimism with returns but WR depth needed.)
15. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Top Needs: Edge, DL (DT), CB, LB, OL (Post-FA: Pass rush and front-seven strength highlighted.)
16. New York Jets (via Indianapolis)
Top Needs: QB/Edge/WR depth, CB, OL (same core as primary pick) (Additional capital for the same high-priority areas.)
17. Detroit Lions
Top Needs: OL (after Decker release), Edge, LB, S, DL (Post-FA: Line struggles and edge pairing with Hutchinson noted.)
18. Minnesota Vikings
Top Needs: DL, OL, S, WR, CB (Post-FA: Front and secondary focus.)
19. Carolina Panthers
Top Needs: OL, S, WR, CB, DL/Edge (Post-FA: Safety coverage and receiver impact behind existing pieces; edge additions like Phillips help but more needed.)
20. Dallas Cowboys (via Green Bay)
Top Needs: Edge, LB, CB, DL, OL (same as primary)
21. Pittsburgh Steelers
Top Needs: QB (future), OL, WR, TE, LB (Post-FA: Rodgers speculation noted, but younger QB and line/receiver support key.)
22. Los Angeles Chargers
Top Needs: OL (interior RG/LG), Edge, DL (DT), DB, WR
23. Philadelphia Eagles
Top Needs: Edge, OL (depth), S, WR, TE
24. Cleveland Browns (via Jacksonville)
Top Needs: QB, OL, WR, CB, Edge (same as primary)
25. Chicago Bears
Top Needs: S, OL (C), DL (DT/Edge), WR (Post-FA: Safety departures and interior line noted; edge opposite Sweat.)
26. Buffalo Bills
Top Needs: Edge, OL, LB, DB, DL (Post-FA: Future edge next to Rousseau; linebacker unaddressed.)
27. San Francisco 49ers
Top Needs: OL (IOL/OT), Edge, WR (depth), DL, CB
28. Houston Texans
Top Needs: OL (IOL/long-term left), DL (DT), LB, DB/CB, Edge (Post-FA: Protection for Stroud despite some veteran adds like Teller/Smith; durability concerns remain.)
29. Kansas City Chiefs (additional)
Top Needs: CB, WR, Edge, DL, LB (same priorities)
30. Miami Dolphins (additional)
Top Needs: WR, CB, Edge, OL, S (same)
31. New England Patriots
Top Needs: Edge, DL, TE, OL, WR
32. Seattle Seahawks
Top Needs: RB, OL, DB, Edge, WR

You have to figure the Rams could end up playing 20-21 games should they get to the SB. Do we really like the chances that nobody on that OL miss miss a start?
A T3 or G3 WILL play some snaps.
So there is most certainly an immediate need or role to fill, not just a player who can step in for whoever the Rams choose not to re-sign after the season.

Not at all. In fact, it wouldn't shock me if the first WR comes off the board at #13 as there really isn't a WR worthy of a top 10 pick, IMO.
Besides Washington is just waiting for the 49ers to release Brandon Aiyuk. The Saints QB Tyler Shough has been lobbying for his team to select his former teammate Chris Bell who will probably be their 2nd round pick. And Kansas City will probably nab Bain or one of the top CBs with their first 1st rounder.
Miami is probably the biggest threat but they need just about everything and can fill another position first instead of going WR in such a deep WR draft class.
Might be an interesting later round toy. Kinda reminds me of Van Jefferson.

I've read somewhere that with the league transitioning over to 12 personnel, the counter to that is having corners who can play 1 on 1 with WRs. If that's the goal, then who's the best separator, 1 on 1 beater out of the this group of WRs?
Or another way to phrase it, what kind of WR fits in the 12 personnel in the rams system. If the rams were truly looking to move on from Davante Adams, what type of WR fits next to Puka, Ferguson? Are they still looking for an X type receiver? or with Puka's ability to beat 1 on 1 last year, move him to the X, and the Rams get a new flanker? Is it better to get a WR who could win quick? So many questions

I watched one of his vids and he seems like he's much more aggressive going after the ball than Jefferson ever was, he has shown some blocking tenacity, he's also got some wheels with a 4.36 - 40, and he is 6'-2" / 207.
Might be a late round pick or possibly a UDFA talent.
Yep, he was huge in the playoffs. He fought for the ball.
I have seen lately, since his combine, of him cracking the top 100.
Might have been a bit overlooked, I'll watch some of his tape when I get the chance. Guys who are generally solid receivers with mid stats but have great combines tend to go much higher than expected like a few of my favorites last year, Issac Teslaa and Chimire Dike.

Not really, I’d rather see a tackle who can play both sides fall to us there and get WR3 in the second round.
Huh? He got wide open on those plays, not his fault his QB can't throw the ball.
