Rams have used less draft capital on this position than any NFL team since 2022

Sean McVay’s offense has been built around having three capable wide receivers who can stay on the field the majority of the time. It’s one of the most important positions on the roster, due to McVay’s reliance on 11 personnel, but it’s not one the Rams attack in the draft.

Sure, they’ve landed studs such as Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp in the mid-to-late rounds, but they don’t often draft wide receivers early. In fact, Van Jefferson and Tutu Atwell are the only wideouts the Rams have drafted in the top two rounds since McVay was hired.
Warren Sharp pointed out with a new chart that the Rams have used less draft capital on wide receivers since 2022 than any team in the NFL. They didn’t draft a wideout in 2022, took Nacua in the fifth round in 2023, Jordan Whittington in the sixth a year later and Konata Mumpfield in the seventh last year. That’s it.

Given how productive receivers are in the Rams' offense, it's hard to believe how little draft capital they use on the position. But it's mostly because they develop players like Nacua and Kupp into high-end starters without needing to use an early pick on the position.
Wide receiver is undeniably a position of need this year and though the Rams could address it in free agency or via trade before the draft, there's a good chance they spend an early pick at that spot – potentially even No. 13 overall.
Makai Lemon, Jordyn Tyson and possibly even Carnell Tate could all be targets for Los Angeles at the top of the draft, though it's such a deep position group, the Rams could wind up waiting and finding a mid-round steal like they always do.
