50 best available players for the Rams on Day 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft

It was an eventful first night of the 2026 NFL Draft on Thursday, headlined by the Los Angeles Rams' selection of Ty Simpson at No. 13 overall. Having checked off quarterback on their to-do list – albeit, much earlier than everyone anticipated – the Rams can now turn their attention to other positions of need.

>Wide receiver is still a spot they could address, especially after passing on Makai Lemon at 13. The Rams have reportedly done a lot of work on the cornerback class, and Sean McVay is always open to adding more pass rushers. There are a number of different directions the Rams can go in Rounds 2 and 3 on Friday night, holding the 61st and 93rd overall picks on Day 2.

>The good news is, there are still several quality players on the board entering Day 2, and many of them could be there for the taking at No. 61. Or, if there's someone the Rams covet, they could trade up to go get them.

>Using the consensus big board from Arif Hasan of Wide Left, these are the 50 best available players entering the second day of the draft. (Note: We excluded Garrett Nussmeier at No. 50, knowing the Rams won't take him).

There are also plenty of quality wide receivers out there, led by Denzel Boston and Germie Bernard.

>One position we haven't even talked about yet is inside linebacker. Day 2 is the sweet spot for that position, with CJ Allen, Anthony Hill Jr., Jake Golday and Kyle Louis among the top players still available. If the Rams want an impactful linebacker, they shouldn't have much trouble getting one in the second or third rounds.
