The Rams continued their aggressive approach to Day 3 of the NFL draft, trading two sixth-round picks to move to No. 172 overall to draft Ole Miss inside linebacker Chris Paul Jr.

Omar Speights is a 2024 undrafted free agent, Nate Landman is a free-agent pickup from the Atlanta Falcons and Troy Reeder is a veteran who was only recently re-signed. That isn't an inspiring group on its surface and is ripe for a player like Paul to jump in and take over.

The Los Angeles Rams and Atlanta Falcons swung one of the biggest, and most surprising, trades at last week's NFL draft, as the Rams traded the Nos. 26 and 101 selections to Atlanta for Nos. 46 and 242 and a 2026 first-rounder.
