A heartbreaking loss in the Divisional Round may have ended the season, but the Los Angeles Rams are adjusting to life post-Aaron Donald pretty well. They have a chance to further bolster their roster this season. Let's take a look at what PFN predicts in their latest 7-Round mock.
With Matthew Stafford potentially out of Los Angeles, the Rams may look to rely on the run in the interim till they can find a legitimate QB threat. Ashton Jeanty isn’t quite the same caliber of athletic phenom that Saquon Barkley or Bijan Robinson were. However, his game is likely the most complete coming from the college ranks that we’ve seen. He’s no slouch athletically, either. Nobody creates more explosive runs than Jeanty in college football. He clearly has a high gear despite being packaged in a 5-foot-8 frame. But many might not know that he also led all RBs in receiving yards in 2023, a trait the Broncos hid from the world in the 2024 version of their offense. Also, Jeanty is a fantastic pass protector both physically and technically, making him as well-rounded as they come.
But he’s still a running back and the 2025 class is loaded, which could, theoretically, push him down the board a bit.
Lawson entered the year neck-and-neck with Campbell after summer scouting. However, inconsistent finishing and an overall lack of physical development kept him later in the Day 2 range while his running mate goes in Round 1. However, Lawson is a heady coverage defender and an impressive interior blitzer.
Physical development will also be the name of the game for Grant, who needs time, nutrition, and an NFL weight room to get the meat on him to survive the taxing nature of playing tackle in the NFL. With Stafford potentially out of Los Angeles, Grant could provide some long-term stability for whoever steps in at QB.
This is right around where Los Angeles found Puka Nacua a season ago. Could they go two for two with Oronde Gadsden II who was right around 1,000 yards in his two healthy seasons at Syracuse.
An inconsistent defense could use some stability and Darien Porter provides the low-risk, high-reward coverage that the Rams are in need of. With incredible length and speed, Porter can develop into truly something dangerous if he becomes more adept in man coverage.
With Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp, the Rams already have two electric defenders they found late in the draft. They could go for the trifecta with Arian Smith who had a terrific final season when given the chance with Georgia.
