Rams Secure Two Compensatory Picks for 2026 NFL Draft
The Los Angeles Rams have secured two compensatory picks for the 2026 NFL Draft. This announcement was made by the league on Tuesday, revealing that the picks are positioned at Nos. 251 and 252 overall.
Details on Compensatory Picks
The NFL employs a formula to determine compensatory picks. This formula evaluates several factors, including:
- The number of players a team lost in free agency during the previous offseason.
- The number of free agents signed by the team.
- Each player’s salary, on-field performance, and postseason accolades.
Rams’ Free Agency Impact
In the most recent free agency period, the Rams experienced notable roster changes. Key departures included:
- Defensive tackle Bobby Brown III
- Outside linebacker Michael Hoecht
- Wide receiver Demarcus Robinson
- Inside linebacker Christian Rozeboom
To offset these losses, Los Angeles added:
- Nose tackle Poona Ford
- Center Coleman Shelton
As a result of the net losses calculated by the formula, the Rams earned two compensatory picks in the seventh round for the upcoming draft.
