Over the past two seasons, the Los Angeles Rams have benefitted from several rookies becoming immediate contributors. In 2023, those players included Steve Avila, Byron Young, and Puka Nacua. Last year, it was Jared Verse, Braden Fiske, and Kam Kinchens.
However, under Sean McVay, the Rams have typically been a team to bring their rookies along slowly. With the roster in a better spot than it was two years ago or even last year, it’s possible that the team gets back to that development path. Some of these picks were made more with 2026 in mind rather than 2025 While fans are certainly going to be excited about a rookie class, it’s also important to have realistic expectations.
