The Los Angeles Rams are entering the offseason with multiple needs on the offensive side of the ball. With wide receiver and tight end qualifying as additional needs to the expected one at offensive tackle, general manager Les Snead could conceivably wait until the second or third round of the 2025 NFL draft to address the position.
The Rams don’t have a second-rounder but they’re currently slated to possess two third-round selections, giving them the ammo to potentially move around the board as required.
Starting left tackle Alaric Jackson is set for free agency. In case the Rams opt to draft his potential replacement between picks 33 and 100, we’ve identified three intriguing tackle prospects expected to be selected in that range.
Aireontae Ersery | Minnesota
Aireontae Ersery clocked in at a massive 6-foot-5 and 339 pounds with 34-inch arms at the Senior Bowl. Ersery is a physically gifted prospect with the strength and length needed to thrive at offensive tackle. He’s a natural left tackle, which could appeal to the Rams.
Anthony Belton | NC State
Anthony Belton stole the show at Senior Bowl weigh-ins, tipping the scale at 345 pounds, the heaviest offensive lineman in attendance. Belton utilizes that size to be a physically imposing blocker. He won one-on-one reps in Mobile through sheer strength and determination. A right-sided player, he could be viewed as a replacement for the aging Rob Havenstein.
Marcus Mbow | Purdue
Marcus Mbow may be this year’s most unconventional blocker. Instead of preaching patience, Mbow utilizes an aggressive jump-set to dictate the action against defensive linemen. Some scouts believe he’ll kick inside to guard, but the Purdue standout looked comfortable at tackle in Mobile.
