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

Round 4 - Oklahoma LB Danny Stutsman

If the LA Rams truly value the inside linebacker position, then Oklahoma's inside linebacker Danny Stutsman is the ideal selection in Round 4 for the team. He has the size of an edge rusher, standing 6-foot-4 and tipping the scales at 243 pounds, but he is the heart and soul of any defense he takes the football field with.

What I love about Stutsman in this Rams defense is that he 'feels' like a deliberate manifestation of Chris Shula's basic defensive philosophy. Stutsman possesses the agility of a cat, the elusiveness of a fallen leaf on a windy day, and the power of a wrecking ball taking down a brick wall. He is more than an orange pylon, as he sees everything in front of him, quickly recognizes play designs, and hits the hole in time to meet the running back head on. He not only stuffs runs, but his size and wingspan make him a natural obstacle on crossing routes. Stutsman can offer solid man or zone coverage, a must to excel in the NFL.

In four seasons with Oklahoma, Stutsman recorded three interceptions and broke up eight passes.

Best of all, his specialty is special teams. He is a nightmare when covering kickoffs and punts, racing to the football and shedding would-be blockers like raindrops on a duck's back. He adds to the Rams roster in too many ways to resist..

Round 6 - Missouri WR Theo Wease Jr,

While you may be disappointed to find the Rams failing to address the wide receiver position sooner, keep in mind that the front office found BYU WR Puka Nacua in Round 5 of the 2023 NFL Draft, and Texas WR Jordan Whittington in Round 6 of the 2024 NFL Draft. So selecting Missouri wide receiver Theo Wease Jr. in Round 6 of the 2025 NFL Draft is not exactly starting off on the wrong foot.

Wease was a four-year player for Oklahoma before transferring to Missouri and playing for the Tigers for two more seasons. But Wease polished his hands and route-running abilities in those final two seasons of NCAA competition. Born in 2001, the 6-foot-2, 202-pound wide receiver out of Allen, TX enters the NFL with a bit more maturity. But that is exactly what the Rams are looking for at the position.

Wease may have perfected his route-running and soft hands, but he will need more coaching to improve his blocking ability. He will get plenty of that with the Rams in training camp. In Round 6, the Rams are looking for high upside. Theo Wease brings that, and so much more.
