Even if the Los Angeles Rams have a successful season in 2025 season, it is highly likely that they will have interest in drafting a quarterback in the 2026 NFL Draft. Arch Manning figures to be the consensus #1 overall quarterback on draft boards considering his NFL bloodlines, his athleticism, and his development under Texas coach Steve Sarkisian.
Matthew Stafford will be another year older and at some point, the Rams will have to have “life-after-Matthew Stafford”. It is quite feasible that the Rams could be planning to make a historical & blockbuster deal that finally nets them a franchise rookie quarterback.
