NFL expert names the "Ramsiest' wide receiver in the draft, and he may be right

The Los Angeles Rams have not invested much draft capital into the wide receiver position. Of course, finding an elite receiver like Puka Nacua on Day 3 of the draft does take the pressure off. But is it time for the offense to consider a youth movement? If you believe that to be true, then you will love what comes next.

Move the Sticks NFL draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah loves what he saw from Indiana Hoosiers wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. But rather than launch a salvo of football cliches his way, he did himself one step better. He calls Cooper Jr. 'the Ramsiest wide receiver in the draft'.

Funny thing is, he is probably right.

Standing 6-foot-0 and weighing 201 pounds, the Hoosier receiver was an offensive juggernaut in 2025. He not only hauled in 69 passes for 937 yards and 13 touchdowns, but he also rushed three times for 74 yards and a touchdown. He even showed some special teams utility in his freshman season.

Best of all, he has not quite attracted the type of draft buzz to catapult him to a Round 1 projection. As of right now, he is a solid Day 2 rookie prospect.

Les Snead may love what Omar Cooper Jr. brings to an offense

LA Rams general manager Les Snead has not ignored the wide receiver position. In fact, he has ensured that the team has consistently addressed the position since hiring Sean McVay as the head coach in 2017. He has selected nine wide receivers in drafts over those nine seasons.

Since selecting Puka Nacua in 2023, he added Jordan Whittington in 2024 and Konata Mumpfield in 2025. Mumpfield made headlines as ESPN NFL analyst Louis Riddick projected him as a perfect fit for LA's offense.

While Whittington and Mumpfield have niche roles in this offense, neither has made an impact like Nacua. Right now, the offense appears to be solid with Nacua pairing up with veteran wide receiver Davante Adams. But what comes next?

While he has work to do on his blocking techniques, Cooper checks all the other boxes sought in a future NFL offensive star. Blessed with velcro hands and a Reed Richards catch radius, Cooper catches everything that sails near him. And he has stunning speed that would restore a bona fide deep threat to the LA offense.

His versatility allows him to line up on the outside or the slot, affording the type of receiver who creates immediate mismatches. Best of all, he can track the pass even on the deepest passes, ensuring a solid completion rate for his quarterback.

And yes, his yards after the catch are phenomenal.

No rookie prospect is certain to hear his name called for the LA Rams. 31 other teams are all quite eager to grab the next Nacua before LA ever steps up to the draft podium. But if he is there on Day 2, he certainly would be quite tempting as a new tool for veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford to use in carving up opposing secondaries.

After all, Cooper is the Ramsiest wide receiver in this draft class.

As always, thanks for reading.
