Maybe an offensive lineman? Or could they trade up for a prospect they covet?We're rounding up all the latest rumors and reports surrounding the Rams as the draft approaches, updating this story throughout the next few days leading up to Round 1.Rams have done "extensive work" on Ty SimpsonTom Pelissero of NFL Network reported Monday that the Rams have done "extensive work" on Simpson leading up to the draft, an indication that they could be interested in selecting the Alabama quarterback at some point in the first two rounds.Rams spent extra time with Garrett Nussmeier pre-draftAnother quarterback the Rams have shown interest in is Nussmeier from LSU.

Pelissero reported that the Rams have spent "extra time" with Nussmeier, flying to visit him and work out the former Tigers quarterback.LA has "at least sniffed around" on trading up from No. 13Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated shared on Monday that the Rams have "at least sniffed around" on trading up in the first round, though he "wouldn't count on it." It's unclear who the Rams might think about trading up for.Cornerback remains a position of focusDespite adding Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson already this offseason, the Rams are still looking into the cornerback position in the draft. According to Breer, they've continued to do "a lot of work" on corners.Edge rusher could be a sneaky target for Rams in Round 1The Rams are in great shape at outside linebacker with Jared Verse, Byron Young and Josaiah Stewart, but they may not be satisfied.

With Young entering the final year of his contract, Adam Schefter said on his podcast that he wouldn't be surprised if the Rams took an edge rusher in the first, calling it a "sneaky" target for them.Rams linked to Dillon ThienemanSafety isn't viewed as a need for the Rams after extending Quentin Lake and Kam Curl, but Todd McShay isn't ruling it out. He said on his podcast that he has "seen some connection" between the Rams and Oregon's Dillon Thieneman, who's projected to be a top-20 pick.No wide receiver at 13?So much of the focus for the Rams leading up to the draft has been on wide receivers, with that being perceived as their biggest need.

However, McShay isn't so sure they're going to target a wideout at No. 13. He wrote in his latest story that he thinks the Rams are more likely to draft a wideout in the second than the first.As of this writing, I think the Rams are more likely to draft a wide receiver in the second than in the first. What’s the difference between Makai Lemon and De’Zhaun Stribling in that system?

They could also get Germie Bernard or Chris Bell in the second. That frees up the Rams to use the 13th pick on their best player available. This pick is a huge deal in the league.

If it’s not a receiver and it isn’t Simpson, who is it? They don’t have a glaring need. Their selection could throw off the plans for the next handful of teams and become one of the biggest pivot points in this first round.This article originally appeared on Rams Wire: 2026 NFL Draft rumors: Tracking Rams news, reports and updates
