One of the most important events in the pre-draft process each year is the Senior Bowl, a week-long showcase featuring many of the top prospects in the class. This year, there were several standouts in Mobile, both on the offensive side of the ball and on defense.
The Rams, led by Sean McVay and Les Snead, often find playmakers at the Senior Bowl, which is why this is such a critical week for the team’s talent evaluators.
These 15 prospects could all be targets for Los Angeles in the draft this year, from quarterback Jaxson Dart to cornerback Azareye’h Thomas.
Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart
Like many of the other quarterbacks at the Senior Bowl, Dart had some trouble with under-center snaps but he has a ton of talent and potential as a passer. He showed that in some of the drills in Mobile, which is causing his stock to rise ahead of the draft. He could be a target for the Rams whether Matthew Stafford returns to the team in 2025 or not.

He has outstanding quickness and a great feel for running routes, which allows him to easily create separation from defenders and get open for his quarterback. He could be just the type of player the Rams need to complement Puka Nacua.

He separates from defenders so easily thanks to his speed and quickness, and his route running has been on full display in Mobile. If the Rams want another undersized receiver with great agility, Johnson could be their guy.

Iowa State WR Jayden Higgins
If Higgins wasn’t already on the Rams’ radar, he should be now. The 6-foot-4 receiver has had a tremendous week at the Senior Bowl, moving incredibly well for a player his size. He’s been running crisp routes and has the agility of a smaller slot receiver, making him an exciting prospect on the…
