In this final episode of their 2026 NFL Draft coverage, Rams Brothers hosts Dean and Nick dive deep into mock drafts, trade scenarios, and positional priorities for the Los Angeles Rams. With the 13th overall pick from the Falcons' 2025 trade, the duo analyze potential targets across wide receiver, tight end, cornerback, and linebacker—highlighting players like Makai Lemon, Jordan Tyson, D'Angelo Pons, and Anthony Hill Jr. as top fits. They debate whether the Rams will trade back to accumulate assets or trade up for elite talent like Jeremiah Love, emphasizing the team’s history of aggressive moves despite recent lackluster results. The hosts express skepticism about drafting a quarterback in the later rounds, favoring depth at skill positions instead. They also critique overreliance on AI and Madden ratings in draft analysis, urging fans to trust human scouting and situational judgment. The episode ends with a passionate call to action: avoid AI-driven draft prep and stay true to the craft of football evaluation.
The Rams are likely to trade back from the 13th pick to accumulate additional draft capital.
Makai Lemon and Jordan Tyson are top wide receiver targets, with Lemon being a versatile, high-upside fit.
D'Angelo Pons and Anthony Hill Jr. are elite linebacker prospects who fit the Rams’ hybrid, athletic mold.
The Rams should prioritize tight end and cornerback depth, with Eli Stowers and Casey Concepcion as strong options.
Drafting a quarterback in the late rounds is not recommended—focus on immediate impact players instead.

Makai Lemon & Jordan Tyson: Top WR Targets
“He's the best overall receiver in the entirety of the class. I think he's a better receiver and a more productive receiver than Carnell Tate.”
Tight End & Cornerback Priorities
The hosts emphasize the need for tight end depth, spotlighting Eli Stowers, Max Clare, and Oscar Delp. They also praise D'Angelo Pons as a 'Darius Williams 2.0' and highlight Chris Johnson and Kyle Lewis as elite defensive prospects.
Trade Back vs. Trade Up Debate
“I think they're going to be making those calls day of to go up... or what the more likely scenario is is they feel like they are mostly fine where they are and they want to just add depth and will trade back.”
“You're totally fucked. Your season in your career is totally fucked. And you know that the Browns will be using that.”
“He's the best overall receiver in the entirety of the class. I think he's a better receiver and a more productive receiver than Carnell Tate.”
“I don't think that it's a good fit because McVay is not going to spend the time necessary to develop a fucking seventh round pick's footwork.”
