The Los Angeles Rams have made a variety of moves this offseason to retool this roster for another deep playoff run in 2025. They have released Cooper Kupp but replaced him with Davante Adams, who inked a two-year, $46 million deal.

They also reworked Matthew Stafford's contract, locking in the Super Bowl-winning QB for the 2025 campaign. That was a great thing for the immediate future, but the Rams still have some question marks regarding the future of the position.

The 2025 NFL Draft goes down next month, and Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer revealed that the Rams could be a team to watch for QB Jaxson Dart.

Breer wrote, "The Los Angeles Rams could be one team to watch near the bottom of the round, though."

Rams May Be Interested in Jaxson Dart in 2025 NFL Draft

The Rams own the 26th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, and Breer believes they would be interested in selecting Dart with that pick. Dart is a player whose stock appears to be all over the place.

Some draft experts have him going in the top 10, while others have him going in the second round. If the Rams can snag him toward the tail end of the first round, that would be a great choice. Dart owns a quick release as a passer with the arm strength to push the ball downfield. He led all draft prospects with 15 throws of 45-plus yards in the past three seasons.

In 45 career games at Ole Miss, he completed 65.2% of his passes for 11,970 yards with 81 passing touchdowns and 27 interceptions. The Utah native could also use his legs, logging at least 389 rushing yards in three straight seasons.

He would be an ideal player for the Rams to draft and sit behind Stafford. Dart has some tools that teams look for, and with Stafford's future after 2025 up in the air, it would make sense why the Rams are interested in Dart.
