As of this writing, the Los Angeles Rams have eight picks in the 2025 NFL Draft — four of which are in the sixth round.
With a little more than a month before the first round, the Rams' roster needs remain the same: linebacker, cornerback, defensive line and receiver all lack depth and should all be targets for general manager Les Snead and head coach Sean McVay.
A new seven-round mock draft from Pro Football Network's Jacob Infante solved the Rams' biggest issues with the team's first three picks. Infante went defense with the Rams' Nos. 26, 90 and 101 to shore up the holes in Chris Shula's defense.
Here's how the seven-round mock draft went for Los Angeles:
Campbell has been a popular pick for the Rams here — if he lasts this long — because of L.A.'s obvious lack of linebackers. Jared Verse and Byron Young are the outside linebackers with only Omar Speights and Elias Neal in the middle. This is a position the Rams must target early, and there's no better option than Campbell. He tallied five sacks in 2024 with 12 tackles for a loss, two forced fumbles and 117 combined tackles. He finished his collegiate career with 184 combined tackles, 5.5 sacks and two interceptions in 35 games.
Parrish would help fill out the Rams' cornerback depth chart. He totaled five interceptions and 16 defended passes over the past two seasons for the Wildcats.
Norman-Lott has 13.5 career sacks with 17 tackles for a loss in 44 collegiate games. From Infante:
Gray played exclusively on the left side of the offensive line, with two years at left tackle before he moved to left guard in 2024. He figures to be a solid backup in the NFL who can play inside or outside.
Some pundits believe the Rams will draft a quarterback outside of the first round as an eventual heir to Matthew Stafford. Gabriel was a highly-productive player in college with 18,722 career passing yards. His 155 career passing touchdowns tied for the FBS all-time lead with Case Keenum.
The 6-foot-4, 210-pound Prather has been consistent in two years at Maryland with at least 40 receptions for at least 600 yards and four touchdowns.
Ethan Evans is a fan-favorite, but Kroeger was very productive in college with a career yards per punt of 44.6 on 265 total attempts.
Harvey led the Big 12 with 22 rushing touchdowns in 2024. The 5-foot-8, 195-pounder rushed for 3,792 yards and 43 touchdowns in his 41 career collegiate games.

Here's how the seven-round mock draft went for Los Angeles:
Round 1, Pick No. 26: Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama
Campbell has been a popular pick for the Rams here — if he lasts this long — because of L.A.'s obvious lack of linebackers. Jared Verse and Byron Young are the outside linebackers with only Omar Speights and Elias Neal in the middle. This is a position the Rams must target early, and there's no better option than Campbell. He tallied five sacks in 2024 with 12 tackles for a loss, two forced fumbles and 117 combined tackles. He finished his collegiate career with 184 combined tackles, 5.5 sacks and two interceptions in 35 games.
Round 3, Pick No. 90: Jacob Parrish, CB, Kansas State
Parrish would help fill out the Rams' cornerback depth chart. He totaled five interceptions and 16 defended passes over the past two seasons for the Wildcats.
Round 3, Pick No. 101: Omarr Norman-Lott, DT, Tennessee
Norman-Lott has 13.5 career sacks with 17 tackles for a loss in 44 collegiate games. From Infante:
Round 4, Pick No. 127: Joshua Gray, OG, Oregon State
Gray played exclusively on the left side of the offensive line, with two years at left tackle before he moved to left guard in 2024. He figures to be a solid backup in the NFL who can play inside or outside.
Round 6, Pick No. 190: Dillon Gabriel, QB, Oregon
Some pundits believe the Rams will draft a quarterback outside of the first round as an eventual heir to Matthew Stafford. Gabriel was a highly-productive player in college with 18,722 career passing yards. His 155 career passing touchdowns tied for the FBS all-time lead with Case Keenum.
Round 6, Pick No. 195: Kaden Prather, WR, Maryland
The 6-foot-4, 210-pound Prather has been consistent in two years at Maryland with at least 40 receptions for at least 600 yards and four touchdowns.
Round 6, Pick No. 201: Kai Kroeger, P, South Carolina
Ethan Evans is a fan-favorite, but Kroeger was very productive in college with a career yards per punt of 44.6 on 265 total attempts.
Round 6, Pick No. 202: RJ Harvey, RB, UCF
Harvey led the Big 12 with 22 rushing touchdowns in 2024. The 5-foot-8, 195-pounder rushed for 3,792 yards and 43 touchdowns in his 41 career collegiate games.
