Bleacher Report's Kristopher Knox offered a possible trade-up scenario for the Rams to do just that in the 2025 NFL Draft. Knox suggested the Rams sent the Nos. 26, 90 and 201 to the Denver Broncos to move up six spots to the No. 20 pick. He then wrote that the Rams should take Louisville quarterback Tyler Shough.

There were reports that QB Matthew Stafford could potentially leave Los Angeles, but he agreed to a restructured contract in February. While the Rams released Super Bowl LVI MVP Cooper Kupp, they brought in Davante Adams to take his place alongside Puka Nacua.

The Los Angeles Rams have been named a potential quarterback-needy team throughout the 2025 offseason. Even after the team retained Matthew Stafford, insiders claimed the Rams could take a quarterback early in the 2025 NFL Draft to secure their future in a post-Stafford world.
