Erin Coscarelli is joined by Ryan Anderson and Paige Dimakos, CEO of The Draft Network, to break down the Rams' 2026 draft strategy two weeks out from Pittsburgh. With Puka Nacua's situation now shifting the calculus, Paige expects the Rams to use pick 13 on the best receiver on their board — though she warns it may not be the obvious name — while also making a strong case for Kenyon Sadiq if the Oregon tight end slips. The group rounds out the conversation by discussing Garrett Nussmeier as a smart late-round developmental QB to sit behind Stafford, and sizes up the NFC West with the Rams on top and the Seahawks facing the most uncertainty after losing key pieces following their Super Bowl win.

In this episode of Bleav in Rams presented by Fanduel, Erin Coscarelli is joined by NFL Draft analyst Joe Deleone who is fresh off his visit to the NFL Combine in Indianapolis. We break down one of the league’s most fascinating front office trends - while most teams flood Indy with decision makers, Les Snead and Sean McVay famously stay away. No hand-timed 40s. No viral workout reactions. Just a skeleton crew focused on medicals while the brain trust stays home grinding film. But why? Because for McVay, Game tape tells the truth. Effort. Instinct. Football IQ. The Rams believe that’s where real evaluation happens. And here’s the wild part. It’s working, right?! We dive into how this deliberate “no-show” strategy has quietly influenced the league, why former assistants like Liam Coen and James Gladstone are following suit in Jacksonville, and how the Rams continue to draft well despite giving up valuable face-to-face intel.

In this episode of Bleav in Rams presented by FanDuel, Erin Coscarelli is joined by former NFL quarterback and co-host of The Simms Complete Show, Matt Simms to dissect the ageless wonder of Matthew Stafford. Winning his first MVP at 37, the big question surfaces...is a drop-off coming?

We get into how his throwing mechanics, anticipation, and mental processing project into the future and what it says about his longevity. And the hard conversation Rams must think about... When do you look to the future if you have a quarterback like Stafford? When is the right time to plan ahead without disrupting a championship window? We start with Puka Nacua. Are the early bumps just natural growth pains for a young star? Simms explains why it’s not cause for concern yet and what development actually looks like from a quarterback’s perspective. Sean McVay as an educator and how that impacts his coaching tree - how hard is it to constantly replace new coordinators? Simms shares his honest opinion of McVay the human, not just McVay the 'play caller.'
