The first round of the 2026 NFL draft got shaken up over the weekend when the New York Giants traded defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence to the Cincinnati Bengals for the No. 10 overall pick. The move kicked off another firestorm of mock drafts (which would have been published anyway) featuring some new predictions for the top of the first round.The Los Angeles Rams still own the No. 13 overall pick, but the players available with that selection may change now that the Giants have two top-10 selections.Here is a roundup of the top expert mock drafts for the Rams less than a week before the first round kicks off.USA Today Sports: WR Omar Cooper Jr., IndianaHe’s the kind of win-now player – coming off the Hoosiers’ national championship run – the Rams seem likely to target in a clear win-now season that could be league MVP Matthew Stafford’s last.

The shifty, sure-handed Cooper can do extensive damage from the slot, which would allow Puka Nacua and Davante Adams to do more of their damage outside.CBS Sports: Trade back to Cooper Jr.Cooper is a football player who happens to play WR, a perfect fit for Sean McVay. He loves smart, tough, versatile receivers, so this is very on-brand.Pro Football Focus: Georgia OT Monroe FreelingThe Rams don’t have an obvious need, but offensive tackle is a position worth targeting. Longtime right tackle Rob Havenstein retired.

Left tackle Alaric Jackson carries cap hits totaling $50 million over the next two seasons.Havenstein’s replacement, Warren McClendon, played well in the regular season but struggled in the playoffs and is entering the final year of his contract.Freeling was Georgia’s primary left tackle last season and allowed just eight pressures across 14 games.Bleacher Report: WR Makai Lemon, USCESPN: WR Makai Lemon, USCThe Rams' roster is pretty stout, but there is a need at receiver alongside Davante Adams and Puka Nacua. Lemon is a reliable and competitive target who would be an ideal fit in Sean McVay's scheme.

He had 79 receptions for 1,156 yards and 11 touchdowns last season, but what was most impressive was his 21 forced missed tackles (14th among FBS receivers). Matthew Stafford would love Lemon's YAC ability and sure-handedness (one drop).Yahoo Sports: OT Caleb Lomu, UtahThis is a clean fit for both parties involved. Longtime right tackle Rob Havenstein retired this offseason, opening the door for the Rams to grab a talented right tackle prospect in Lomu.

He would be a perfect fit in Sean McVay’s running game, routinely showing off ideal power and athleticism that prototypical tackle prospects possess in the NFL.NFL.com: WR Omar Cooper Jr., IndianaI agree with Daniel Jeremiah that Cooper fits what the Rams seek in their receivers. With neither Puka Nacua -- who entered rehab this offseason and is the subject of a civil lawsuit -- nor Davante Adams under contract beyond 2026, this is almost a necessity.This article originally appeared on Rams Wire: Rams mock draft roundup: Latest expert predictions before 1st round
