Brendan Dzwierzynski of Turf Show Times argues that the Los Angeles Rams erred by failing to draft any immediate contributors in their 2026 rookie class.

Daniels has seen just three snaps, third-round offensive lineman Keagen Trost has battled injuries, and defensive tackle Tim Keenan is now playing for the Las Vegas Raiders.
