The Rams trade down from pick 27 to 46 in the 2025 Draft netted them an extra RD 1 pick for 2026. While it's far too soon to speculate on the fate of any of the 10 picks the Rams are currently slated to have in next years draft, it does offer the team a good bit of flexibility given the potential question mark at the games most important position. Officially, QB Matthew Stafford is under contract through the 2026 season and LA is in no rush to move on, with Head Coach Sean McVay saying he thinks Stafford
"can play as long as he wants." At age 37, entering his 17th NFL season Stafford is still playing at a high level, and surrounded by a solid team that continues to uncover young talent. How Stafford finishes the season, both physically and mentally will have a ripple effect on the Rams draft plans, but that extra RD 1 pick could be a perfect opportunity to add a QB of the future to sit behind Stafford without forcing the team to pass on top talent at another position.
