A potent offensive attack has become the calling card of the with quarterback Matthew Stafford.  In order for that to remain the case, the Rams will have to infuse their offense with some young talent, especially with veteran  Hayden Howerton Jersey pa s-catcher Davante Adams, 34, entering the final year of his contract. This is something that they could addre s in the upcoming 2026 NFL Draft.  Rams land USC WRMakai Lemon in first round of ESPN mock draft  In the first round of his latest mock draft, ESPN's Peter Schrager has the Rams selecting USC wide receiver Makai Lemon with the No. 13 overall pick in the draft.The Rams as a result of a prior trade with the .  Lemon is widely considered as one of the best receiver prospects in the draft cla s. He was named aUnanimous All-American after the 2025 season and he also won theFred Biletnikoff Award, which is awarded to the most outstanding wide receiver in college football.  "Lemon fits with a lot of what the Rams do on offense. And taking the 2025 Biletnikoff Award winner would be a sign that the Rams are truly all-in to win in 2026, potentially Matthew Stafford's final season," Schrager wrote.  "But this pick would also have the long term in mind, with Davante Adams entering the final year of his deal and turning 34 in December."  Lemon would make a nice addition for a Rams team that should still be in the thick of the contender conversation in the NFC in 2026.  Given Adams' age and Puka Nacua's , it makes sense that the Rams would look to reload the position, especially if there's anyveracity to the that the Rams could move on from Nacua.  However, the Rams have other major needs to addre s in the draft, too. So, there's no guarantee that they'll look to snag a receiver in the first round. Those other areas of need include cornerback, linebacker and on the offensive line.  More NFL news  :  Dadrion Taylor-Demerson Jersey
