Predicting the Rams' 53-Man Roster

The Los Angeles Rams might be walking into the 2025 NFL season with the best roster in franchise history as they have one of the best defensive lines in the NFL, an improving linebacker and defensive back room with an offensive loaded at each position.

The Rams also added six draft picks in the 2025 NFL Draft as well as 17 undrafted free agents and are expected to add more camp bodies.

As of writing, this is who I believe will be on the Rams' 53 man roster once week one comes about.

Sean McVay spoke about his roster construction after the NFL Draft.

"I mean the question and from some of the things that we've done, you're really saying,
'Okay, the players that you're choosing, what's the vision? How do you anticipate them
contributing not only for the '53' [53-man roster] but for the 48 [active players on gameday]. Are
you going to be active?' Obviously, there are a lot of things that take place that we can't control,
but I do think it's a credit to what's taken place over the last couple years. I think in a lot of
instances because of some of the circumstances and situations that we've had, there’s a
patience that we've had and that we've learned as coaches to give guys an opportunity to come
in."

"They're still going to earn it, but maybe they're going to get more reps than they would've
gotten otherwise. I think it's a positive thing for us to be able to feel like, alright, we can go up
and get some players that there was a consistent buy-in appreciation for. We call them 'hots.'' All
of these guys had 'hot' grades for the people that we had look at them, when you're talking about
coaches and Les' group. When you can have that collective buy-in and then the vision,
everybody feels like they want to bring it to life and these players feel believed in and that's so
important to what we want to be about."
