How Many Picks Do the Rams Have in the 2025 NFL Draft?
Currently, the Rams have six picks in the 2025 NFL Draft. They maintain their original selections in Rounds 1, 3, 4, and 6. They’ve also added two extra selections in Round 6 through various trades.
The Rams sent their original second-rounder to the Carolina Panthers in a 2024 NFL Draft trade-up that netted Los Angeles defensive tackle Braden Fiske. Meanwhile, the Rams’ 2025 fifth-round pick was sent to Pittsburgh in a trade that landed L.A. guard Kevin Dotson, who would later earn a multi-year extension.

In the later rounds, the Rams added a sixth-rounder and lost their seventh-round selection in a pick-swap trade with the Atlanta Falcons, which netted Atlanta wide receiver Van Jefferson. A third sixth-rounder was also added in the Dotson trade with Pittsburgh.
Six picks would mark the Rams’ lowest pick total since 2016 — and it would be a stark contrast to the totals of 10 and 14 over the past two cycles, respectively. But the Rams rightly chose to be aggressive in the 2024 NFL Draft with contention so close.
What Are the Rams’ Biggest Needs in 2025?
If there is ever an opportunity to add a long-term successor to a 36-year-old Matthew Stafford, the Rams shouldn’t scoff at that opportunity. But for the time being, quarterback is not a necessity for Los Angeles.
On offense, left tackle and wide receiver — specifically WR3 — lead the Rams’ list of needs. Alaric Jackson is only on a short-term deal, and Joe Noteboom appears to be falling out of favor.
Meanwhile, at wide receiver, Tutu Atwell and Demarcus Robinson are set to be free agents, which would leave a void opposite Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp.
On defense, linebacker stands out as a particularly glaring need. Ernest Jones IV has grown into a quality player, but he — along with Christian Rozeboom — is set to be a free agent. Likewise, nose tackle is an area where Los Angeles could still seek an upgrade.
Finally, cornerback could once again enter the mix as a need for the Rams.
Tre’Davious White was signed on a short-term deal to infuse the Rams’ roster with experience, but even if he stays healthy, he’ll be a free agent again soon. Los Angeles should be proactive in seeking help alongside Darious Williams and Cobie Durant.
