Latest Rams mock draft proves offensive reboot is doable via the 2025 NFL Draft

As the Los Angeles Rams must do a lot of work this offseason simply to ensure that the right veterans return at the right price for the team, there is a sense of growing momentum. After all, the Rams front office has clobbered the draft competition in the past, and as such the team oozes confidence as they pivot to the 2025 NFL Draft.

And there are many reasons to believe that this team can and will have a very successful effort in the 2025 NFL Draft as well.

The key is that any early Rams mock draft must make assumptions about the team. Where will the team focus in the 2025 NFL Free Agency market? Who will the team extend? Who will the team part ways with? Without knowing that, mocking rookie prospects is akin to being blindfolded and throwing darts at a dart board.

Still, there is some strategy behind the exercise. The Rams have a finite supply of salary cap space, expiring contracts, and logical fits among projected free agents. While we do not know the exact needs of the Rams roster as the team pivots to the 2025 NFL Draft, we have a better beachhead of reasoning that guesswork.

Will the team extend LT Alaric Jackson? Will the team manage to coerce veteran QB Matthew Stafford back for the 2025 and 2025 NFL seasons? Will the team manage to divert the exodus of four wide receivers who are either knowingly being traded or are no longer under contract in 2025?

While there is no perceivable pattern or straight path to reforming a contender just yet, don't seel the Rams front office short. General Manager Les Snead has been in a far more difficult situation and emerged with a playoff team from the ashes of no picks or salary cap space. Snead knows how to build a winner, and Head Coach Sean McVay knows how to coach a winner. All that remains is putting the right players on the Rams roster to make it all possible.

Let's apply what we know to the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft, and see how likely it is that the team reboots an offense that has suffered slow decline in recent years.
