2026 Los Angeles Rams Season Outlook

The Los Angeles Rams enter 2026 heavily focused on capturing a Super Bowl title after falling just short in last season's NFC Championship game. Head coach Sean McVay and the front office aggressively targeted their biggest weakness—the secondary—by pulling off a blockbuster trade for star cornerback Trent McDuffie and signing free agent corner Jaylen Watson away from the Chiefs. With MVP quarterback Matthew Stafford returning to lead what could be the league's top offense alongside dynamic weapons, Los Angeles has pushed all their chips to the middle of the table.
In the 2026 NFL Draft, the Rams made a polarizing move by selecting Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson with the 13th overall pick. Rather than adding immediate rotational depth to help right now, they opted to secure Stafford's long-term successor, betting that their current roster is already strong enough to win it all. They fortified the offense with Ohio State tight end Max Klare in the second round and added developmental tackle Keagen Trost in the third. If the new-look secondary holds up and the top-heavy veteran core can stay healthy, the Rams are primed to finish the job this postseason.
