Sean McVay will enter his his 10th season as the head coach of the Rams
The Los Angeles Rams have one of the, if not the, most well-rounded rosters in the league entering the 2026 season.
LA added cornerbacks Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson to the defense and retained key pieces, tight end Tyler Higbee and safety Kam Curl.
For now, the Rams can focus on depth ahead of the 2026 season. An NFL writer gives his thoughts on how the team could strengthen its weaker parts.
Addressing Wide Receiver Depth

When it comes to notable weapons on the Los Angeles Rams offense, wide receivers Puka Nacua and Davante Adams stand out.
The duo combined for over 2,500 receiving yards and 24 touchdowns in the 2025 season, which helped quarterback Matthew Stafford win the Most Valuable Player Award. Outside of them, most other WRs received 25 targets or fewer.
With a clear need for another option at the position, the Rams still have the opportunity to add another this offseason.
Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer conducted his most recent mailbag and was asked about the possibility of the Rams adding a wide receiver 3 to the team outside of the draft. Here is what he said:
“I could see them bringing in a veteran, yes. But what might be more likely is having a mid-round pick added at the position, since any sort of depth issue at receiver is mitigated by the depth they have at tight end. I don’t see where they’re at with a third receiver behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams as a big problem for them.”
LA has around $26 million in cap space and 7 selections in the upcoming NFL Draft. Wide receiver Jauan Jennings is still in the free agent market, with the Rams having more than enough money to bring a player of his talents. The team also holds the 13th pick and may select a receiving threat early in the draft.
Either way, the Rams still need to focus on strengthening the wide receiver position before all the top targets clear up.
Rams Met With Receiver At Pro Day

Albert Breer’s assessment of a mid-day wide receiver draft selection for the Los Angeles Rams could become true.
According to Essentially Sports‘ Tony Pauline, the Rams met with Notre Dame wide receiver Malachi Fields at the school’s Pro Day.
“[Malachi Fields] met extensively with the Los Angeles Rams and New York Jets, a pair of teams that need receivers,” Pauline said. “If the Rams don’t take a receiver with the 13th pick, Fields would most definitely be in play for them when they are on the clock with the 61st selection, especially with all the rumors about the team potentially moving Davante Adams.”
Fields, who is a redshirt senior, has recorded 2,479 receiving yards and 16 touchdowns in his collegiate career. The receiver stands at 6’4”, 205 lbs, and can be the big man target for Stafford next season.
The Los Angeles Rams only have one “mid-day” pick, as Albert Breer suggests, in the third round with the 93rd overall pick.
If Malachi Fields falls that far into Day 2, the roster could have a potential long-term receiver option.
