Rams 2025 NFL mock draft: Will the Matthew Stafford era come to an end?

114th Overall Pick - Caullin Lacy, WR, Louisville

The Los Angeles Rams may also need to invest big-time in the WR room for the long-term, as there may not be much else at WR when Cooper Kupp and Demarcus Robinson are inevitably not in the picture. Both Kupp and Robinson are getting old, but you do have to consider stud WR Puka Nacua.

Tutu Atwell may also end up being a guy for the Rams, but there is still clearly a need for another body in this room. The Rams could turn to WR Caullin Lacy from Louisville with the 114th overall pick. In 2023, Lacy hauled in 91 receptions for 1,316 yards and seven touchdowns.

He's already caught 201 passes in his collegiate career, so he's seen a ton of work thus far.

176th Overall Pick - Kolbey Taylor, CB, Vanderbilt

Kolbey Taylor is a long and rangey cornerback who is a transfer from Wyoming and will play for Vanderbilt in the 2024 season. He's played in just 19 games over his first three years in college and has just seven defended passes, so he simply needs to put more tape on film, but the size is there. The Rams figure to start Tre White and Darious Williams at CB for 2024.

The secondary overall is all of a sudden very deep, but there is not a ton of young talent in this room. GM Les Snead clearly rebuilt this unit for the short-term, but should still have some eyes on the long-term here. The NFL is a pass-first league as we know, so continuing to invest in the backend of the defense in free agency and the NFL Draft is a very wise decision.

179th Overall Pick - Robert Longerbeam, CB, Rutgers

Robert Longerbeam, another cornerback, will cap-off this Rams 2025 NFL mock draft. Longerbeam has a knack for the football. He's got 26 passes defended over his last three seasons with Rutgers. He's also not afraid to get a bit dirty, as he's got 109 total tackles as well.

He's added five forced fumbles, three tackles for loss, two sacks, and three interceptions in his colleagiate career, so as a pro, he could fill up the stat sheet as a do-it-all DB for the Los Angeles Rams, and them doubling down at this position makes sense based on what I laid out in the previous pick.

Would this Los Angeles Rams 2025 NFL mock draft put the team on the right path forward to have some long-term success?
