The Los Angeles Rams have set their sights on the Super Bowl for the 2025 season, bolstering their roster by re-signing Matthew Stafford and Alaric Jackson while adding star receiver Davante Adams in free agency. As the team prepares for the upcoming NFL Draft, analyst Cris Collinsworth predicts that the Rams will select Texas offensive tackle Kelvin Banks Jr. with their first-round pick (No. 26 overall).

Collinsworth believes that improving Stafford's protection is vital for the Rams, who nearly upset the Eagles in the playoffs. Banks, recognized as one of the top offensive linemen available, brings significant experience from his time at Texas, where he excelled, allowing just one sack and two hurries in the previous season. The Rams can afford to develop Banks behind veterans Jackson and Rob Havenstein, ensuring they have solid depth on the offensive line.
