It’s a few weeks earlier than we’d prefer, but the Rams’ 2026 NFL Draft order is set.
It’s certainly not the outcome the Rams wanted against the Seahawks in the NFC Championship, but here we are regardless. The offseason has begun in Los Angeles, and with two picks in the first round, at least it’s something for Rams fans to get excited about.
The Rams hold the Atlanta Falcons’ 2026 first-round pick thanks to the 2025 draft-day trade that allowed Atlanta to trade back up into the first round and double-dip on pass rushers, selecting James Pearce Jr. out of Tennessee. On paper, it looked like the Falcons got fleeced, but Pearce finished the season with 10.5 sacks and was a huge part of Atlanta’s most effective pass rush in well over a decade, earning a Defensive Rookie of the Year nod.
Unfortunately for LA, the Falcons decided to start winning games after being eliminated from postseason contention, so a pick that was projected to be in the top 10 midseason now sits at No. 13. The loss to the Seahawks sets the Rams’ own pick at No. 29.
Here’s the full 2026 draft order, updated after the Rams’ playoff exit on Sunday.
