3-round Rams 2026 NFL mock draft is offense-heavy after surprising Kam Curl signing

The Los Angeles Rams had the potential to enter the 2026 NFL free agency bonanza with one of the league's worst secondaries in the league, but their recent moves to lock up Kam Curl and trade for Kansas City Chiefs star Trent McDuffie have completely changed the calculus.

McDuffie was acquired for a package of four NFL Draft picks, headlined by the No. 29 selection this year. Curl, who has found a home in Los Angeles, was retained on a three-year, $36 million contract that pays him like one of the best at his position in the entire league.

The 2026 NFL Draft plans for the Rams have been flipped completely upside down in the span of just a few days. With these new moves in place, any mock drafts that are projecting what Les Snead will do in late April must be adjusted.

Los Angeles Rams 3-round 2026 NFL Mock Draft after Kam Curl signing

Round 1, Pick 13: Spencer Fano, OT/IOL, Utah

Fano and Miami's Francis Mauigoa are fighting for the title of top tackle in this class. While some might want to kick Fano inside to guard due to his arm length, his dominant play at right tackle during his collegiate career could be a sign that he could stick there just fine in the pros.

Fano is a bulldozer in the run game, and after flexing his athletic muscles at the NFL Combine, he looks more and more like a player who could thrive in a Sean McVay offense that asks for extremely mobile tackles in the running game.

Round 2, Pick 61: Jake Golday, LB, Cincinnati

This is a great year to be looking for an inside linebacker. Not only is there a wealth of free agent options, but Golday is one of around five or six prospects who could easily find themselves selected in the first two rounds.

Built like a brickhouse with a tremendous football mind and versatility, Golday's tackling skills and coverage potential should appeal to LA. He will to get a bit better at disengaging from blocks, as he can get washed out of a few plays.

Round 3, Pick 93: Skyler Bell, WR, UConn

Puka Nacua and Davante Adams are perhaps the best wide receiver duo in the league, but the Rams have next to nothing behind him thanks to a sharp regression from Tutu Atwell. With Adams getting long in the tooth, Bell could help guard against any age-related dips in play.

Bell is quite lean at 185 pounds, and he is never going to be an amazing contested-catch receiver, but he is one of the finest route-runners in this class. With speed and extremely sticky hands at his disposal, Bell should immediately compete for the WR3 job.
