The Los Angeles Rams are gearing up for the 2025 NFL Draft with a strategic focus on immediate success and future sustainability. With an aging roster, particularly on the offensive line, a potential pick towards the end of the first round may address pressing needs while still considering future development. Missouri offensive tackle Armand Membou has emerged as a key target. Standing at 6'4" and weighing 332 pounds, his combination of agility and power makes him a prospective starter, even if the Rams allow him time to adapt to the NFL.

Rob Havenstein, the current right tackle, is 32 and may face competition for his starting role should Membou be drafted. This dual focus ensures the Rams can compete in 2025 while also establishing a pipeline of talent to succeed their aging stars. The Rams need to balance addressing their offensive line needs with their defensive gaps, particularly at linebacker and cornerback, which may be addressed later in the draft.
