The are picking 13th overall in the 2026 NFL draft thanks to their trade-down with the last year during the draft. With such a high pick and in win-now mode, along with few needs, the Rams have their choice of many different routes with this pick. made a bold prediction on 9.5 sack edge rusher, Ruben Bain Jr. He predicts Bain could fall outside of the top 12, which would give the Rams the chance to take one of the best defensive players without moving up at all. Rams could have interesting draft decision if Ruben Bain Jr.'s prediction comes true "Miami edge rusher Roben Bain Jr. will go outside the top 12 picks," Yates predicts. "The teams that could take a chance are the , , and (Nos. 8-10, respectively), but there's a chance he's still there in the teens." Bain is one of the top edge rushers in this year's draft cla s. David Bailey
Magneuris Sierra Jersey and Arvell Reese are two other top edge rushers, with both likely to go inside the top 10. However, there has been some buzz about Bain sliding down boards. And this prediction from Yates would give the Rams the chance to take Bain with the 13th pick. Bain is a 6-foot-3, 275-pound edge rusher out of Miami who had 9.5 sacks this past season and led the Hurricanes' defense to the National Championship. He's one of the best defensive players in this cla s, which makes this prediction so bold. More : While the Rams haven't been linked to Bain much this offseason, it's not been about whether he'd be a worthwhile addition, but rather that most mock drafts don't have him making it to the Rams' pick. If this prediction from Yates were to come true, and Bain were on the board with the Rams on the clock, it could be an interesting situation. Jared Verse and Bryon Young are great edge rushers, and the Rams don't nece sarily need another one. But, with both needing new deals soon, the Rams could get out in front of those free agencies by taking Bain and landing one of the best edge rushers in the draft. Yates' prediction with Bain making it to the teens would give the Rams a very interesting decision in the first round. While wide receiver has been a common selection, if Bain is there, Les Snead might have a tough time pa sing on the chance to take him after a slide. More Rams news:
