The Los Angeles Rams hold six draft picks in their pocket heading into Day 3 of the 2025 NFL Draft, four of which are in the sixth round. This is when Les Snead and Sean McVay uncover gems and turn them into productive starters, with Puka Nacua, Kyren Williams and Quentin Lake being perfect examples.
So who will be the next diamond in the rough to contribute to the Rams? Looking at the 99 best available players on the consensus big board, the Rams should consider targeting any of these 15 prospects on Saturday afternoon. Not all of them will be available at Nos. 127 or 190, but they would all have relatively high ceilings in Los Angeles.
WR Elic Ayomanor, Stanford
Ayomanor is a willing blocker and a physical receiver who’s good after the catch. At 6-foot-2, he has good size, as well, making him a nice fit alongside Puka Nacua and Davante Adams.
WR Tory Horton, Colorado State
Horton is a bigger receiver at 6-foot-3 and he also has good speed after running a 4.41 in the 40-yard dash at the NFL combine. There are concerns about his knee after missing most of the 2024 season with an injury, but he has the potential to be really productive at the next level if healthy.
OT Cameron Williams, Texas
Williams could help answer the Rams’ questions at right tackle with Rob Havenstein potentially entering his last season with the team. He’s 6-foot-6 and powerful, also displaying good enough movement skills to get out and block on the edge in the run game.
LB Danny Stutsman, Oklahoma
Stutsman tested really well at the NFL combine, which isn’t very surprising considering how he plays the position. He good range and instincts, which help him against the run and dropping back into coverage.
CB Quincy Riley, Louisville
Riley is one of the best overall players left on the board and whichever team drafts him could wind up with a steal. He’s 5-11 and has the ability to play inside or outside, and with his 4.48 speed, he can hold up against faster receivers.
WR Jalen Royals, Utah State
Royals feels like a natural Rams-type receiver with his quickness and yards-after-catch ability. He had 834 yards on just 55 catches last season, averaging a healthy 15.2 yards per catch in 2024.
DL Ty Robinson, Nebraska
Robinson is versatile in that he can line up just about anywhere up front. Like so many other Rams defenders, he plays with great effort and pursuit to the ball, which allows him to make tackles and clog up running lanes. He’s effective as a pass rusher, too, recording seven sacks in 13 games last season.
LB Smael Mondon Jr., Georgia
Mondon has excellent speed and range for a linebacker, bringing something different to the table than what the Rams currently have. He needs some polishing but in time, he could be a fun player in the middle of the defense.
CB Dorian Strong, Virginia Tech
Strong is a 6-1 cornerback who can play outside and match up with bigger receivers at the line of scrimmage. He ran a 4.5 in the 40-yard dash which isn’t bad, but the Rams’ zone-heavy scheme should help mitigate that even further.
LB Jeffrey Bassa, Oregon
Bassa is a quality linebacker who would upgrade the defense. He’s a converted safety who can run, though he’s only 6-1 and 232 pounds so size isn’t a strength of his. With the Rams already having a run-stopping linebacker in Omar Speights (and Nate Landman), Bassa would be a good complement on the weak side.
CB Cobee Bryant, Kansas
Bryant is a slender cornerback at only 180 pounds but that doesn’t mean he’s destined to fail in the NFL. He had four picks and seven pass breakups last season after intercepting four passes in 2023 and three in 2022, so his ball skills are undeniable.
RB Jaydon Blue, Texas
It’s inevitable that the Rams are going to take a running back at some point and Blue is a prospect who would help them create more explosive plays. He’s a great receiver out of the backfield and can run away from defenders with his 4.38 speed – and he even improved on that number at his pro day where he was timed as fast as 4.28.
CB Zah Frazier, UTSA
Frazier has a dream combination of size (6-3) and speed (4.36), making him a very intriguing prospect. He also has excellent ball skills, intercepting six passes last season alone. He’s worth taking a shot on at this point in the draft and it’s somewhat surprising that he’s still available.
OT Chase Lundt, UConn
The pool of offensive tackles is running thin, so the Rams might have to make their move at this spot early. Lundt is one of the best players remaining and he’s a natural fit at right tackle with his size and length for the position (6-8, 304).
RB Brashard Smith, SMU
Smith is a former receiver who moved to running back, which tells you what you need to know about his skill set. The Rams don’t have a running back who can create big plays as a receiver, nor do they have someone with Smith’s type of speed. He can be their change-of-pace running back behind Kyren Williams and Blake Corum.
