Recent 2025 draft fodder could see the Rams get abundantly rich in first round

Over the course of this offseason, so far, the LA Rams have made several decisions at the wide receiver position.

It began even before the season officially ended, as WR Cooper Kupp took to social media the week of the Super Bowl to let everyone know the Rams were going to try and trade him. Eventually, the Rams would cut him only to see him sign with a division rival and return home to Washington.

Kupp is now a Seahawk, but the Rams went out and signed Davante Adams to pair with Puka Nacua. That could prove to be a lethal duo for Matthew Stafford and company, but could the Rams add even more firepower to the wide receiver position?

If we're going off of some recent mock drafts, there seems to be a particular theme which might work out very well for the Rams. In a few mocks, as of late, Missouri wide receiver Luther Burden has gone after the Rams' pick at no. 26 in the first round.

Some mocks have even projected Burden outside of the first round. And, that seems just plain crazy.

Luther Burden would be a "rich get richer" type of pick for the Rams

Do the Rams need a wide receiver? No, not necessarily. But, would it be a fun world to live in where they end up with Burden? Absolutely.

Think about it this way. The Rams signed Davante Adams to a two-year deal. He's getting older. He still has the ability to be productive, but he is getting older. Puka Nacua is the one you know will be around for the long haul.

Tutu Atwell re-signed on a one-year deal. Jordan Whittington showed flashes as a rookie, but he is still just a sixth-round pick and didn't exactly scream "starter." Could he end up as one? Of course.

Next year, Atwell could be gone. Adams may or may not be on his way out, and even if he does play out both years, that (probably) leaves the Rams with Nacua and Whittington for the 2027 season, depending on who else they would have added by then.

Picture a world where the Rams have Nacua and Burden, plus their future WR3 and WR4. But, in the meantime, the Rams' WR3 is Burden, and that's quite the luxury.

Burden is your prototypical pro wide receiver that could potentially play either the Z or X spot. But, he can also track balls well enough to be a deep threat and, thus, line up as the X if need be. He has above-average speed, can operate within a fairly lengthy route tree and is simply a natural playmaker.

Picture an offense with Matthew Stafford, Adams, Nacua, Burden and Kyren Williams.

Now, that would be fun.
