Where does the Rams' 2025 NFL Draft value rank among teams?

[ASFN Admin]

The Los Angeles Rams have eight total picks in the 2025 NFL Draft, half of which are in the sixth round.

So while the Rams have a lot of draft picks — including a first-rounder again — L.A. doesn't have a ton of premium picks after winning the NFC West, going to the NFC Divisional Round and trading their 2025 second-rounder to move up and select Braden Fiske in 2024. That decision worked out well for them, though, and the Rams are going all-in on this season after a slew of moves in free agency.

CBS' Sports Josh Edwards ranked the 32 NFL teams by their total draft value (per a chart from Sportsline's R.J. White). Unsurprisingly, the Rams finished No. 30 with 297.71 points.

"Los Angeles has its first round pick for the second consecutive year, but it is later in the round and the next selection is not until No. 90 overall," Edwards wrote. "Few, if any, teams have been as good as the Rams finding contributors on Days 2 and 3 of the draft. They will have to continue that trend this year as they continue to build around Matthew Stafford."

Again, the lack of draft capital isn't concerning for a team that is loaded at major positions. Plus, as Edwards alluded to, the Rams front office has excelled at late-round picks. Puka Nacua, Kyren Williams, Kobie Turner and Byron Young were all drafted in the third round or later. Starting left tackle Alaric Jackson went undrafted and starting center Beaux Limmer was a sixth-rounder.

The Rams have some big needs on defense but have the scouting department to find diamonds in the rough at any point in the draft. They'll need to exercise that skill, though, with such limited draft value outside of the first round.
