The breakdown of the prospects, if you believe it's accurate, really speaks to the Rams specific needs, and, imo.. makes an argument for a combination of trades to get the most picks possible in the first three rounds.
You could easily end up with:
A day one starting corner
A 3rd WR who projects to being a number 2
An OT to backup/develop
An Edge who can rotate in an potentially replace Byron Young
Another Corner to compete for playing time and develop
A starting safety (this would be if Curl is not re-signed) or An IOL, or a DL
And you'd still have a few more picks for random shots.
An alternative to that is definitely possible.
Of course, they MUST get one reliable corner in FA.
They could find a couple of valuable depth pieces to rotate on Dline and edge in FA
And keep the picks as-is.. and hope for a difference-maker at 13 and keep the picks as-is.
One note.. I love Makai Lemon as a football player... LOVE HIM.. but I cannot see drafting him at that spot for *this* team. I think they have a decent player in Mumpfield who has some similar physical traits.. and his play style overlaps a lot with Puka, imo.. and they'll also have Ferg working over the middle a bunch. I wouldn't take him that high.
If Delane is gone at 13... I'm doing everything I can to trade down. I think the other corners are stacked together more and the Rams will find a likely day-1 starter at end of the first round.

Neither Terrance Ferguson nor Josaiah Stewart received even 40 percent of the Rams' regular-season snaps in Year 1, but both rookies played meaningful roles for a near-Super Bowl team. Los Angeles was at the forefront of the heavy-personnel trend in 2025, with Sean McVay befuddling opposing defensive coordinators by deploying scores of tight ends across the formation. The 6-5, 252-pound Ferguson provided the kind of versatile game that fueled the Rams’ usage of 12 and 13 personnel. Just ask the mad scientist himself.
"He's everything and that much more than I hoped he would be, and I had tremendously high hopes for him," McVay said in his end-of-season presser. "I think that he's going to be a huge part of what we're going to do for years to come."
Stewart was Les Snead’s latest D-line hit, adding yet another QB hunter to the rabid young front that has become this team’s defensive identity. In the regular season, Stewart had the highest pass-rush win rate (15.3%, per PFF) of any rookie edge.
