TheLos Angeles Ramsenter Week 15 sporting one of the NFL's best records, 10-3. Despite this, they are well on their way toward landing a top-10 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
The reason for this? TheAtlanta Falconstraded their first-round pick for the upcoming draft as part of a 2025 NFL Draft trade. The Falcons moved back into the end of the first round to land edge rusherJames Pearce Jr.while the Rams were content to move down and accrue some extra draft capital.

The move appears ready to pay off in spades for the Rams, as they will be poised to add a blue-chip player to an already championship-worthy roster during the 2026 NFL offseason.
