Previously: 2
The Rams faced some drama this offseason with Puka Nacua biting people and then checking into a mental facility. If Nacua is fine, then the Rams have a good chance to win the Super Bowl despite wasting the 13th pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. The Rams did much better prior to the draft when they acquired two major upgrades at cornerback, including Trent McDuffie.
If you haven’t visited the site in a while, you may have noticed the new look. Yes, after nearly two decades, we’ve finally re-designed our site to be more modern. This was not done on a whim, but rather out of necessity because of what occurred during the 2023 NFL Draft. Our site crashed during the entire first day of the draft, which was disastrous for our revenue stream because we make more money during the draft than any other time. The site crashed because a line of code conflicted with the old format of the site, so we had to transition to this new look.
Because we lost so much money during the draft, I want to point out that you can really help support the site by paying for the ad-free version of it. It’s $7.99 per month, but you’ll get a super-fast site with no ads. My developer will be adding new features to paid subscribers as well, so look for that in the near future. If you don’t want to pay, please spread the word about the site through word of mouth. That would also be a big help!

Walt’s Team Needs Assessment
Needs
The Rams were seen as the best team in the NFL for most of the second half of the season. They lost some games late however, due to poor special teams play and a declining defense.
- Two Cornerbacks: If there’s a weakness to the Rams defense, it’s cornerback. Emmanuel Forbes was playing for the Rams in 2025, which should tell you how dire the situation was. Traded for Trent McDuffie
- Wide Receiver: Davante Adams won’t be around for the long haul, so a young receiver should be added to the mix.
- Linebacker: The Rams really struggled to cover the middle of the field in 2024. They were better in that regard last year, but still could use some help in this area.
- Safety: Kamren Curl is set to hit free agency, so he should be re-signed or replaced.
- Tackle Depth: Rob Havenstein is set to hit free agency, but he’s coming off a poor year and probably needed to be replaced anyway.
- Punter: Ethan Evans ranked fifth-worst in net punting average last season.
- Backup Quarterback: Jimmy Garoppolo will be hitting free agency, so the Rams will need someone else behind Matthew Stafford if Garoppolo leaves. A quarterback of the future should be considered as well.

MILLEN Grade
Walt’s Grade Summary
The Rams made one of the dumbest draft picks in NFL history. They were considered favorites to win the Super Bowl in the betting markets, and they had the best draft asset of all the other top teams. This gave them a huge leg up, as a great pick would make them so much better than their top competitors. However, rather than helping the current roster, the Rams opted to make a move for the future, selecting Ty Simpson. This was a horrible decision because it could cost them a potential Super Bowl. And it’s not like Simpson is even a great prospect. He had just 15 collegiate starts and melted down against top defenses.
Some will point out that this was like the two Green Bay moves to land Aaron Rodgers and “No Cookie” Jordan Love, but they are not very similar. The Packers obtained Rodgers and Love as values in the 20s. Simpson, conversely, provided no value as a borderline first-round prospect who wasn’t even guaranteed a starting job if he returned to Alabama. It was utterly shocking to see the Rams make such a foolish decision.
The Rams had five other picks, and four of them scored B+ or better. A third-round selection was wasted on an old prospect in Keegan Trost, but Los Angeles still did well otherwise. Still, the Rams’ choice to capsize their Super Bowl aspirations dominates this grade, despite all the good the Rams did on Day 3. The Rams simply failed in their objective to give themselves the best chance to win this year.

Scouting Report
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Sorry. This is one of the dumbest picks I’ve ever seen. The Rams are on the verge to win the Super Bowl right now. They needed the best player available to put them over the top. Instead, they selected a one-year starter who melted down in every big game. There’s a chance Simpson wouldn’t have been the starter at Alabama had he returned to school.
Some will compare this to the Packers drafting Aaron Rodgers and Jordan Love, but the difference is that the Packers didn’t reach on them. They took those two quarterbacks, and Rodgers was a massive value. This is a huge reach. I can’t believe the Rams made what could be the dumbest selection in NFL history if it costs them a Super Bowl.
Pick 61
B+
Max Klare, TE, Ohio State
TE
Ohio State
Rnk: 103
We’ve seen some tight end reaches in Round 2, but this isn’t one of them. Max Klare was a highly productive player at Ohio State. He’s athletic and has lots of upside. The Rams needed another pass-catcher, and they love their two- and three-tight end formations, so this pick certainly makes sense.
Pick 93
D-
Keagen Trost, OT, Missouri
OT
Missouri
Rnk: 0
The Rams ruined Matthew Stafford’s late career, and now they’re going to try to get him killed with a late-round tackle with short arms who can be beaten by speed rushers. He’s also old for a prospect. The Rams are not having a good draft.
Pick 197
A-
C.J. Daniels, WR, Miami
WR
Miami
Rnk: 397
C.J. Daniels is a sure-handed receiver who runs great routes, but lacks explosion. The Rams had a rough start to this draft, but found a nice value here in the sixth round. I had Daniels going late in the fourth, so I’m a fan of this pick, especially because it fills a need.
Pick 232
A-
Tim Keenan III, DT, Alabama
DT
Alabama
Rnk: 190
Tim Keenan is a nose tackle who is solid in run support, but doesn’t generate much quarterback pressure. I had Keenan in the fifth round, so I like the value for the Rams, who are getting a player to shut down Seattle’s new running back.
