The Los Angeles Rams will be looking to add on the defensive side of the ball in the 2026 NFL Draft.
When it comes to the NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Rams have been the best team over the last few years. Even without having a first-round pick in most of those drafts, the Rams still find a way to find the right players for their team and turn them into good players and starters.
Whatever the Rams have been doing over the last few drafts is something that other NFL teams are looking to do but they have not been able to. That is what makes the Rams special in the draft.
A lot of credit has to go to general manager Les Snead, who has been one of the best general managers in the league.
That is why the Rams extended Snead earlier this week. Snead knows how to find talent and knows exactly what this team needs each season to make the Rams successful. He comes in with a plan, and he talks to head coach Sean McVay, and they come together and execute it well. The Rams want to keep it going in the 2026 NFL Draft.
The Rams and Snead will have two first-round picks this upcoming draft, and it is going to be interesting to see what the Rams do with these two picks. But in this one, we are going to talk about the Rams’ second-round pick because that is usually when the Rams get their draft started.
Matt Miller of ESPN recently released his 2026 NFL Mock Draft for round two. Miller has the Rams taking a defensive player and helping the Rams in the middle of their defense.
The Rams need a downhill linebacker, and Rodriguez would fit the bill. He’s a playmaker who had 4 interceptions, 7 forced fumbles, a sack and 3 touchdowns scored last season.
