Rams Face Potential Draft Decisions Amid Quarterback Trade Talks

As the 2025 NFL Draft approaches, the Los Angeles Rams are evaluating options to secure their future beyond veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford, whose tenure is likely winding down. While some analysts suggest the Rams could draft a quarterback such as Jaxson Dart, Jalen Milroe, or even Louisville's Tyler Shough with their first-round pick, others caution that selecting Shough could be a risky move due to his age, injury history, and inconsistent play under pressure. There is also speculation about the Rams trading for Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis, who may become available if the Titans select Cam Ward as expected; this could provide Levis an opportunity to develop behind Stafford under Sean McVay. The Rams are seen as having a strong roster following free agency but have depth concerns at positions like cornerback and right tackle, which could influence their draft strategy. Analysts note that the Rams could trade down from their No. 26 pick to address multiple needs with later selections, particularly since they lack a second-round pick. Meanwhile, other teams like the Chiefs might try to trade up ahead of the Rams to secure coveted offensive linemen, adding further intrigue to the Rams' draft-night decisions.
