Players to Watch
The Los Angeles Rams' highest-impact 2026 draft picks — the rookies most likely to make immediate contributions and the ones to follow heading into training camp:
Ty Simpson
Round 1, Pick 13The Rams' future at quarterback. Acquired via trade with Atlanta, this pick signals Sean McVay's transition plan post-Matthew Stafford. The Alabama product brings the kind of arm talent and athleticism McVay's offense thrives on — expect a quarterback room with veteran Stafford starting Year 1 and the rookie developing behind him. A franchise-shaping selection.
Max Klare
Round 2, Pick 61A modern receiving tight end out of Ohio State who adds another weapon to McVay's offense alongside Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. Good hands and movement skills for the position, with room to develop as an in-line blocker.
