Rams make a jumble of roster moves immediately after 2026 NFL Draft

With the addition of five drafted rookies, the Los Angeles Rams still need 20 more players to round out their 90-man training camp roster. Ironically, the same team that needed three days at the 2026 NFL Draft to add just five players was wasting no time at signing rookies now that the draft has concluded. And as hinted in a previous article:

"The team's greatest need for depth after the draft includes defensive backs, offensive linemen, offensive skill players, and defensive players for the trenches."

LA is a pretty tight group, with many roster spots already claimed by veterans. But this is also a team that has been generous in affording real opportunities to make the team to rookies signed after the draft. In fact, many starters have come from such modest beginnings, including left tackle Alaric Jackson and both linebackers Nate Landman and Omar Speights

Knowing this, it's always wise to learn something about the newest rumored additions to the roster

Rams cluster of rumor undrafted free agent signings (17 of 20)

• QB Matthew Caldwell - Texas | A resilient quarterback who flashed some impressive athleticism at his pro day, Caldwell is a 6-foot-4, 210-pound quarterback who last backed up Arch Manning at Texas.
• DT Jalen Logan Redding - Minnesota | A versatile defensive lineman whose superpower is the ability to line up anywhere along the defensive front
• CB Nyzeir Fourqurean - Wisconsin | An intriguing big-bodied defensive back who measures 6-foot-1. Fourqurean was incredibly productive, logging 90 tackles in two seasons.
• DL Jaxson Moi - Tennessee | A rugged interior defensive lineman, Moi gives a bit of a snarl to the trenches. At 6-foot-2 and 305 pounds, he's ready to suit up and get to work
• RB Dean Conners - Houston | The lone running back (so far) added to the Rams roster, Conners has the type of speed that begs to be trialed in a special teams role.
• DT Payton Zdroik - Air Force | This defensive lineman was touted as a sleeper of this draft class, and that could be spot on. He was surprisingly productive, ending with 116 tackles, 29 tackles for a loss, and 14.0 quarterback sacks.
• CB Drey Norwood - Missouri | Norwood is a 6-foot-0 cornerback who was a solid pass defender for the Tigers. While he did not jump off the page at any specific area, he proved to be effective in all roles of a cornerback.
• OL Austin Blaske - North Carolina | The former Tar Heel is one of the few offensive linemen who has experience at all five positions. His versatility is absolutely what intrigued the team to sign him up.
• C Chad Linberg - North Carolina | A teammate of Blaske (above), Linberg offers interior offensive line versatility. And he was a rumored target of the Philadelphia Eagles.
• OLB Darryl Peterson - Wisconsin | Clearly, LA recruited Peterson heavily, meeting with him on multiple occasions. And he recorded 6.5 quarterback sacks and 12.5 tackles for a loss in 2025.
• WR Nick Anderson - LSU | Despite the lack of production in college, this 6-foot-4, 208-pound receiver out of LSU is tough to ignore. Projected as early as Round 4, he offers size and speed. Unfortunately, injuries interrupted his development, so he's raw.
• CB Al'zillion Hamilton - Fresno State | Despite his 5-foot-11 height, Hamilton is a bona fide ball hawk. If he can learn from Trent McDuffie, LA landed a good one.
• TE Rohan Jones -Arkansas | A highly regarded but lightly scouted tight end, Jones hauled in 19 passes for 519 yards and four touchdowns in 2025. Yes, that averages more than 27 yards per reception.
• OLB Eddle Walls - Houston | Rated at 39th overall on Mel Kiper's draft board, this 6-foot-4, 250-pound edge rusher lowered the boom on unsuspecting quarterbacks. He's big enough and productive enough to keep on your radar.
• DE Wesley Bailey - Louisville | Another potent edge rusher, Bailey exploded in one season for the Louisville Cardinals in 2025 with 6.0 quarterback sacks and seven tackles for a loss.
• LB Kai Hill-Green - Alabama | LA may have found its off-ball pass-defending linebacker. This solid prospect made it a point to play in a wide range of defensive schemes, improving along the way. His pre-draft interview gives off great football-passion vibes
• DB Nick Andersen - Wake Forest | Well, this could get confusing. A 2nd rookie named Nick Andersen (with an e) is rumored to have signed with LA. This 5-foot-11, 197-pound defensive back is ultra productive. He may have what it takes.

That's a lot of roster moves, and just within minutes of the draft ending. And it's plenty to wade through. As it stands now, this team appears to be a mere two or three signings away from a full training camp roster.

And as time passes, we'll be more than happy to dissect and analyze the players who may have a chance of making the team.

As always, thanks for reading.
