The Los Angeles Rams are currently at the center of discussions regarding their quarterback strategy as they approach the upcoming NFL Draft. Head coach Sean McVay has indicated that selecting a quarterback early in the draft might not be in the team’s plans, as he feels confident in their existing quarterback lineup, anchored by veteran Matthew Stafford. However, insights from ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Field Yates reveal that Jaxson Dart, an intriguing quarterback prospect, has been engaging with several teams, including the Saints, Giants, and Rams, in the lead-up to the draft.
Acquiring Dart at the 26th overall pick could prove to be a tall order, considering the draft positions of other teams. Nevertheless, having Dart on the Rams could be advantageous. He would have the chance to learn under the experienced Stafford and could benefit from working alongside skilled receivers like Davante Adams and Puka Nacua. Furthermore, the Rams feature a progressively improving offensive line and operate within a system designed by McVay that may help Dart refine his skills, particularly when it comes to reading defenses and making rapid decisions.
While it’s likely the Rams will focus on securing a tight end or defensive back early in the draft to address immediate needs, finding a long-term successor to Stafford remains a priority. Dart possesses the potential to step into that role, and joining the Rams could offer him an ideal setting for development and success in the NFL.
