The Rams currently own the No. 61 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, and are scheduled to make that selection on April 24. Here are some of the most notable players who have been selected there, including a Hall of Famer:
2014: Jaguars WR Allen Robinson
Rams fans will remember Robinson for his disappointing 2022 season that didn't go the way he nor the team expected, but he's better known for his previous production in Chicago and Jacksonville. His singular Pro-Bowl season in 2015 saw Robinson lead the league in touchdowns with 14 while he registered 1,400 receiving yards. He also surpassed 1,000 receiving yards with the Bears in 2019 and 2020. Over his 11-year career, Robinson caught 565 passes for 7,058 yards and 43 touchdowns.
2005: Chargers WR Vincent Jackson
Jackson was Mike Evans before Mike Evans. At 6-foot-5, 230 pounds, Jackson was a contested catch cheat code and one of the most productive receivers in the league during his 11-year career. He registered six 1,000-yard seasons in a seven-year span from 2008-14. Jackson finished his career with 540 receptions for 9,080 yards and 57 touchdowns, spending his first seven seasons with San Diego before finishing up with five years in Tampa Bay. He tragically passed away in 2021 at the age of 38.
2001: Lions DT Shaun Rogers
Rogers was a dependable interior defensive lineman who played 12 years in the league and earned three Pro Bowl nods. After seven seasons with the Lions, Rogers spent three years with Cleveland and then one each with the Saints and Giants to close his career. He finished with 514 total tackles (83 for loss), 37.5 sacks, 27 passes defended and a 66-yard pick-six as his lone interception.
1996: Eagles S Brian Dawkins (HOF)
If there was a stat for big hits, Dawkins would be the NFL's all-time leader in it. He was an old fashioned safety that used his body like a battering ram to instill fear in opposing offenses over his 16-year career. Dawkins was a four-time AP First-Team All-Pro and a nine-time Pro Bowler, spending the first 13 NFL seasons in Philadelphia before ending with three years in Denver. He totaled 37 interceptions, 153 passes defended (stat began being tracked in 1999), 26 sacks, 39 forced fumbles (registered at least one in every season he played over 10 games) and 1,147 total tackles.
1991: Broncos DT Keith Traylor
Traylor played 229 games in 16 NFL seasons and he jumped around during that time. He started with two years in Denver, went to Green Bay for a season, then played two seasons with Kansas City before going back to Denver for four years. Three seasons with the Bears, one with the Patriots and then three with the Dolphins closed out his career. He never made a Pro Bowl, but won three Super Bowls: two with the Broncos (back-to-back in 1997 and '98) and one with New England in 2004. Traylor ended his NFL career with 20 sacks and 473 total tackles.
1983: Chiefs DB Albert Lewis
Lewis intercepted 42 passes during his 16-year career. 38 of them came with Kansas City, placing him fifth all-time in interceptions in Chiefs history. He made four-straight Pro Bowls from 1987-90 and was named a AP First-Team All-Pro during the last two seasons of that stretch. Lewis spent the last five years of his career with the Raiders.
1969: Broncos DB Bill Thompson
Thompson's entire 13-year career was spent in Denver, where he registered 40 interceptions. He still ranks third in franchise history in that stat. Thompson started all 179 games he played, made three Pro Bowls and was selected as a AP First-Team All-Pro once and made the second team as a rookie. He started his career as a cornerback before transitioning to safety.
