How Many Picks Do the Rams Have in the 2025 NFL Draft?
Currently, the Rams have eight 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 trades, and have a compensatory selection in the third round after the Atlanta Falcons hired Raheem Morris.

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.
What Are the Rams’ Biggest Needs in 2025?
- LB, CB, EDGE, TE, RB
The Los Angeles Rams put together an impressive second half of the season and were the only team that came close to defeating the eventual Super Bowl champion Eagles in the playoffs. The offseason has been fascinating for them. They kept Matthew Stafford and signed Davante Adams, keeping the offense strong even after Cooper Kupp’s departure.
Between retaining Stafford, signing Adams, and re-signing both Alaric Jackson and Tutu Atwell, the offense looks to be in a great spot for 2025. A tight end could be in the plans, but Tyler Higbee looked good when he returned from injury, so any investment in the tight end is likely a developmental one.
Additionally, depth at running back could be a good Day 3 investment with Kyren Williams entering the last year of his rookie deal. Even if they re-sign Williams, they likely won’t want him leading all running backs in percentage of team snaps played again like he did in 2024.
That leaves all of the Rams’ major needs on the defensive side of the ball, which improved towards the end of last season but was a boom-or-bust unit overall. They will want to address many depth concerns while also adding a starting linebacker (a position the team has traditionally devalued). With both Christian Rozeboom and Troy Reeder departing, though, a little more investment than usual would be helpful.
Los Angeles may also look to add some role players at defensive tackle and EDGE. They need more talent at cornerback to compete for starting roles, and that could also extend to depth at the safety position.
