The Los Angeles Rams helped themselves in a big way during free agency last year. They added impact starters such as Davante Adams , Poona Ford , Coleman Shelton and Nate Landman , while also suffering minimal losses after the market opened.
Because the Rams didn't see many significant departures in free agency, they won't be compensated much in the upcoming draft.

Over The Cap released its compensatory pick projections for the 2026 NFL Draft and the Rams are expected to receive two additional selections. Both of them are projected to land in the seventh round, too: one for Demarcus Robinson and one for Christian Rozeboom .
The Rams may have received more compensatory picks if not for their signings canceling out those departures. Over The Cap projected sixth-rounders for Bobby Brown III and Michael Hoecht , but they were canceled out by the signings of Ford and Shelton.
Adams did not count toward the compensatory pick formula because he was released by the Jets, not a free agent on an expiring contract.
Les Snead and Sean McVay will gladly take two more picks in the upcoming draft, which would give them 11 total picks. They have two first-rounders, and two each in Round 5 and 6 due to the Ernest Jones and Ben Skowronek trades. Then they have their own picks in the second and third rounds, but don't have one in the fourth; it was used in the trade up for Ty Hamilton last year.
