Rankings Rams 2025 undrafted free agents and how likely they are to make the roster

Ever since the 2025 NFL Draft concluded last week, there has been a lot of focus on the six players that the Los Angeles Rams came away with. There is a lot to be excited in that group of six, but the draft didn’t end after the seventh round. Also part of the Rams draft class are the 17 undrafted free agents that the team signed afterwards. While that group of players will have an uphill battle to make the roster, the Rams have shown in the past that undrafted free agents can carve out a role. Omar Speights and Jaylen McCollough were two examples last year. The Rams starting left tackle was an undrafted free agent.

Some of these players may make the practice squad while one or two sneak onto the final 53. Below I’ll rank the undrafted free agents and their likelihood of making the roster.

ILB Shaun Dolac, Buffalo

It’s no surprise that the Rams brought in another linebacker as an undrafted free agent after only drafting Chris Paul Jr. The Rams signed Omar Speights as an undrafted free agent last yearand he carved out a starting role as a rookie. Dolac was arguably the best linebacker available after the draft. In 2024, he led the nation in tackles with 168 and was a consensus All-American. His size and barely 30-inch arm length are concerning at the NFL level, but he brings upside.

Per Dane Brugler in The Beast,

“Dolac plays with boundless energy and decisive read-react skills to drive on the football and explode through his target. Though he is fast in the open field, he can struggle working through high-trafficked areas. He does a great job anticipating and attacking passing lanes in the MAC, but covering NFL athletes will be a much different task. Overall, Dolac will be limited in areas because of his lack of size and length, but his competitive mentality and production will endear him to NFL coaches. He has the ingredients of a special teams ace, similar to Tyler Matakevich.”

OT Trey Wedig, Indiana

It was surprising when the Rams didn’t draft tackle and they only brought in one as an undrafted free agent. Wedig brings good size at 6’6 and 313-pounds. However, his feet are choppy and something he needs to work on. With that said, Wedig was the 14th highest graded tackle last season via PFF and seventh-best against the run. All of his snaps last season came on the right side, but played inside in 2023 at Wisconsin before transferring to Indiana. The Rams had success with Alaric Jackson as an undrafted free agent and Wedig brings upside.

As Brugler wrote in The Beast,

“In his pass sets, Wedig works from a stabilized base and uses independent hands to protect the corner. However, choppy steps and inconsistent depth points can be his undoing versus speed (see 2024 Ohio State and Notre Dame tapes). He plays with more confidence in the run game when he maintains his pad level. Overall, Wedig’s consistency in pass pro should improve with more reps. If it does, he has the tools to develop into an NFL swing tackle.”

iOL Willie Lampkin, UNC

Lampkin is one of the more intriguing players in this draft class. There’s no denying the tape that he put out at UNC last season or the Senior Bowl that he had. However, he was a Combine snub, didn’t test well at his Pro Day, and is only 5’10, 279-pounds. Lampkin was a former high school wrestler and almost gave up football full time. However, he stuck with it and made an impression this draft season. His smaller size is concerning, but at the same time, it helps him with leverage. He has 61 starts across all three interior offensive line positions. It’s hard to see him making the roster, but Lampkin should be a practice squad candidate. There is also some speculation that he could play fullback in a lead-blocker role.

According to Brandon Thorn of Trench Warfare,

“Lampkin was one of the more fascinating outlier prospects I’ve evaluated over the last five seasons with Bleacher Report due to his diminutive size contrasted with his incredible tape against significantly larger defensive linemen, including at the 2025 Senior Bowl. Lampkin should be able to compete for a backup role at center while providing a skill-set to contribute as an H-back/fullback role similar to how the Ravens feature Patrick Ricard. Rams head coach Sean McVay is known for his creativity, which makes this a promising landing spot for one of the draft’s best stories to find a meaningful role.”

WR Mario Williams, Tulane

Williams had 60 receptions for 1,031 yards and six touchdowns last season at Tulane. He transferred to Tulane after playing at USC in 2022 and 2023. Williams is a detailed route-runner and has the speed and ball-tracking ability to be a deep threat. He ranked third in college football last season with 3.51 yards per route and his average depth of target of 16.4 yards ranked sixth. Williams may struggle breaking into the Rams current wide receiver group, but keep an eye for him to make the practice squad.

WR Brennan Presley, Oklahoma State

Presley may have a smaller frame, but he’s also a great playmaker in space. He’s a strong route-runner as displayed by his agility times and if he gets the ball in space, Presley has no issues creating yards after catch. Presley was the first FBS player since 2018 to have at least 760 receiving yards, 200 kickoff return yards, and 50 rushing yards in a season.

He finished the season with over 1,000 all-purpose yards which was something he achieved four times at Oklahoma State. He took 80.6 percent of his snaps from the slot in 2024 and ranked 10th in the FBS in yards after the catch with 478. His threat as a returner is what could land him a spot on the practice squad.

S Nate Valcarcel, NIU

Valcarcel brings upside as a free safety with good ball skills. The NIU safety had two interceptions and 10 passes defended last season. He was a first team All-MAC selection and was a sure-tackler with a missed tackle rate of just 2.2 percent. His 90 tackle grade via PFF ranked third in the FBS and his 2.2 percent missed tackle rate was the second best. The Rams have developed safeties in the past and Valcarcel is the type of tackler in the secondary that the Rams need.

iOL Wyatt Bowles, Utah State

Bowles has primarily been a left guard over the last two years at Utah State with 184 snaps at right guard the last two seasons. He also took 72 snaps at left tackle in 2024. He allowed 17 pressures and two sacks last season. He’s light on his feet and brings underrated power with a nasty mindset to his game. The Rams need depth on the interior and Bowles has the athleticism to compete for a roster spot.

iDL Da’Jon Terry, Oklahoma

Terry made seven starts on the Oklahoma defensive line last season. He was listed at 330-pounds for the Sooners, but weighed in at 317 at his pro day. Terry transferred to Oklahoma from Tennessee and was at Kansas before that. Last season, he ranked sixth in the SEC in run stop percentage and was the 10th graded run defender on the defensive line. The Rams have needed a big run stopper and Terry is just that.

S Malik Dixon-Williams, UConn

The Rams have made it a habit to take late-round or undrafted safeties and turn them into contributors. Dixon-Williams is an experienced player with good ball skills. He had three interceptions and six passes defended last season in 11 games. Dixon-Williams is able to be a force in run support and also has good spatial awareness in coverage. He’ll compete with Jaylen McCollough as the fourth safety on the roster.

WR Tru Edwards, Louisiana Tech

It’s hard to see an undrafted free agent at wide receiver sticking on the roster. However, the Rams will certainly be looking to stash a player or two on the practice squad. It was anticipated that Edwards would return to school and transfer to Kentucky. However, due to eligibility issues, he declared for the draft. Edwards started 12 games last season, recording 85 receptions, 989 receiving yards, and six touchdowns. He was the only player in conference USA to record more than 70 receptions. Edwards brings some returning experience as well.

TE Anthony Torres, Toledo

Torres started his career at Western Michigan before transferring to Toledo in 2022. At 6’6, he scored nine touchdowns last season for the Rockets. He’s a decent blocker and could carve out a role in 13 personnel packages in the red zone. Torres does have a history of a back injury, but as an underneath receiver and a player that can become a red zone threat, there is some upside here.

RB Jordan Waters, NC State

The Rams haven’t typically kept many running backs on the roster. Waters seems like a player who may compete with Cody Schrader for a spot on the practice squad to potentially replace Ronnie Rivers in 2026.

As Turfshow Times’ own Venie Randy Soares wrote,

“Even though his running style is reminiscent of a one-cut zone runner, he looks like a fit into the Rams duo and inside zone scheme, showing very good patience and vision to press the line of scrimmage and find the correct holes.”

TE Mark Redman, Louisville

After the Rams drafted a tight end, it’s hard to see another one making the roster. However, Redman could certainly find his way onto the practice squad. Redman transferred to Louisville from San Diego State. He had just 24 receptions for 256 yards in 2024. Redman’s impact will be felt more as a blocker which is what the Rams are missing at the tight end position.

EDGE Jamil Muhammad, USC

Muhammad transferred to USC from Georgia State and led the Trojans in sacks in 2023. He only had one sack last season, but brings good burst strength, a high motor, and strong character. The Rams will hope they can get more of the 2023 player who had success coming up to the P4 level. Muhammad is smaller at just 6’1 and lacks explosiveness.

iOL Ben Dooley, Boise State

The Rams made it a point of emphasis in undrafted free agency to bring in some bodies on the offensive line. Dooley was one of three on the interior at guard. Dooley helped lead one of the nation’s top rushing attacks last season as he started all 14 games at left guard. He allowed just one sack last season. In five years at Boise State, Dooley has experience at left guard, right guard, and right tackle.

EDGE Josh Pearcy, Rice

The Rams need some depth at edge rusher, especially on the practice squad. It’s hard to see Pearcy breaking in here. Pearcy played six years at Rice and had just 3.5 sacks last season. He is an experienced player as he’s played in 54 career games.

iDL Bill Norton, Texas

Norton brings good size to the defensive line, but given the depth that the Rams have, it’s hard to see Norton making the roster or practice squad. The Rams have one of the deeper defensive line groups which is going to make it difficult for anybody to break through. Norton transferred from Arizona to Texas last season after four years at Georgia.
