Pro comparisons for each player in the Rams' 2025 draft class

[ASFN Admin]

The Los Angeles Rams came away with six players in the 2025 NFL Draft, balancing their perfect evenly on offense and defense. It's an exciting group of players who seem to play with a ton of passion and aggression, which is exactly the type of prospect the Rams love to have in their building.

We won't know how this draft class will pan out for a few years but the ceiling is high for a lot of the players drafted by the Rams.

To get a better idea of what these prospects could become in Los Angeles, we looked at who they were compared to. Below is a pro comparison for each prospect from various experts, ranging from Luke Musgrave to Brandon Lloyd.

Round 2, No. 46: TE Terrance Ferguson, Oregon​

Pro comparison: Luke Musgrave (33rd Team)

It wasn’t long ago that Musgrave was a highly touted prospect, going in the second round to the Packers in 2023. He has similar measurables (6-6, 253 pounds, 4.61 speed) to Ferguson, both operating well primarily as receiving tight ends.

Musgrave hasn’t had a lot of success in the NFL yet but he was a promising prospect two years ago out of Iowa State.

Round 3, No. 90: OLB Josaiah Stewart, Michigan​

Pro comparison: Azeez Ojulari (NFL.com)

Like Stewart, Ojulari is also undersized as an edge rusher, though he’s 1 inch taller (6-2) than Stewart. He was a second-round pick by the Giants in 2021 and became a productive player for them, recording 22 sacks in only 46 games in New York.

Now a member of the Eagles, Ojulari signed a one-year deal worth $3 million this offseason. If the Rams can get similar production from Stewart as the Giants did from Ojulari, they should be happy.

Round 4, No. 117: RB Jarquez Hunter, Auburn​

Pro comparison: Ray Davis (Fantasy Life)

The Bills drafted Davis in the fourth round last year and he was a favorite of many draft analysts for his low center of gravity and toughness as a runner. Hunter is 1 inch taller (5-9) and slightly faster (4.44 vs. 4.52), but both are hard-nosed backs who rarely went down on first contact in college.

This comparison makes a lot of sense and Davis has the potential to be a starting running back in the NFL if given the opportunity.

Round 5, No. 148: DT Ty Hamilton, Ohio State​

Pro comparison: Levi Onwuzurike (NFL.com)

Onwuzurike has better length than Hamilton as a 6-foot-3 defensive tackle and he’s about 10 pounds lighter, but he’s an encouraging comparison for the Rams’ new defensive lineman. Onwuzurike was a second-round pick by the Lions in 2021 and has 3.5 sacks in the three seasons he’s played (missed 2022), becoming a starter this past season.

It could take Hamilton time to develop, just as it did with Onwuzurike, but he was productive in 2024 when he started 10 of 16 games and had 28 sacks with 13 QB hits.

Round 5, No. 172: LB Chris Paul Jr., Ole Miss​

Pro comparison: Zaire Franklin (NFL.com)

Franklin came into the NFL in 2020 as a seventh-round pick by the Colts and he’s played his entire career in Indianapolis. He made his first Pro Bowl last season when he had a league-high 173 tackles and also forced five fumbles, intercepting two passes on the year.

He’s had at least 167 tackles in each of the last three years, becoming an incredibly productive player since 2022.

Round 7, No. 242: WR Konata Mumpfield, Pittsburgh​

Pro comparison: Brandon Lloyd (Fantasy Life)

Lloyd is more of a throwback comparison, being a player who entered the NFL in 2003 and retired in 2014. The former 49ers fourth-round pick was a smooth route runner, which is a trait Mumpfield gets a lot of credit for, and he lacked speed just like the Rams’ newest receiver; Mumpfield ran a 4.59 and Lloyd ran a 4.62.

There are many examples of NFL receivers who had success despite not running particularly well – including former Rams star Cooper Kupp.
