    Safety Nate Valcarcel, Northern Illinois

    Farrar’s Take: If you find a safety who can blitz from the line of scrimmage or from the box, can take away pass attempts everywhere from the flat to the deep third, and has no issue getting grimy against the run, how much does it matter that he was doing his thing against Ball State and Akron more than Georgia, Notre Dame, and LSU?

    In the case of Northern Illinois safety Nate Valcarcel, there’s an interesting series of juxtapositions. Valcarcel will have to overcome the small-school bias, but the Huskies had games against Notre Dame, NC State, and Buffalo in 2024, so it’s not as if Valcarcel was mainlining inferior opponents and nothing else.

    Overall in 2024, his third straight season with increased snap counts and better overall performance, the 5-foot-11 1/2, 194-pound Valcarcel had two sacks, 10 total pressures, 32 solo tackles, 13 stops, and he allowed 10 catches on 25 targets for 207 yards, 53 yards after the catch, two touchdowns, three interceptions, seven pass breakups, and an opponent passer rating of 57.0.

    Against Notre Dame, Valcarcel negated an intermediate stop route throw from Riley Leonard to receiver Kris Mitchell by coming down from the deep third to break it up. Against NC State, he had a red zone tackle for loss that stopped a potential touchdown, and he picked up a sack by gunning for the quarterback from the second level. Moreover, he didn’t look at all outmatched by those more high-profile programs at any point.

    Where that puts Valcarcel in the draft profiles of NFL teams, I do not know. But if I’m in need of safeties to develop in the third day of the draft, I think I could do far, far worse than this guy.

    Trey Wedig, OL Indiana

    Overview
    Tackle/guard prospect with steady game tape. Wedig possesses an NFL frame but will need to add more upper-body power and core strength. He’s an intelligent player with consistent recognition of where to be and what to do. He centers up run blocks and stays connected but is better as a move blocker than he is when asked to drive someone off the ball. Wedig’s pass protection is solid when he’s in position but his lack of length and average slide quickness could have teams pushing him inside to guard, where he will need to prove he’s strong enough to take on NFL defensive tackles.

    Willie Lampkin, OL, UNC

    Overview
    When it comes to the three phases of a run block (positioning/sustain/finish), Lampkin has the best tape I’ve studied of any prospect in the 2025 draft. He’s tremendously quick and athletic to beat defenders to the spot laterally or to climb and connect in space. He plays with excellent hand placement, leverage and footwork to sustain blocks. He uses that stickiness to finish blocks, too. He’s sound in pass protection but will give way to size and length from time to time. Unfortunately, he falls far below NFL size standards, but he’s too good a football player to ignore. Smart teams should consider using Lampkin as a fullback who can get into space and stick to his block while offering position flexibility as an emergency backup at center. Whether he’s drafted or not, Lampkin has NFL-caliber talent.

    Shaun Dolac, LB, Buffalo

    Overview
    Three-year starter who went from walk-on to All-American over a five-year span. Dolac’s activity level and production are impressive. He does a nice job of recovering from misdirection and finding his way to the football. He’s scrappy and smart but lacks the size and explosiveness most teams look for from NFL linebackers. Dolac might not have the measurables but his instincts and ability to play as a core special-teamer could give him a chance regardless of his draft status.

    Defense (6)

    Defensive tackle (2)

    DT DaJon Terry – The Rams added a powerful defensive tackle, per Tom Pelissero, in Oklahoma DT DaJon Terry. Standing 6-foot-3 and weighing 321 pounds, Terry is not going to flash for everyone, but he is a solid blocker-gobbler who NFL teams need to do the dirty work in the trenches to free up playmakers. He gives 100 percent on every play.

    DT Bill Norton – Per the Texas Longhorns, the Rams are signing a huge bargain in 6-foot-6, 335-pound defensive lineman Bill Norton. Norton. Norton is impressive in presence, but underwhelming on the football field. He needs to convert size and power into production, but my-oh-my, what a huge and powerful defensive lineman.

    Inside linebacker (1)

    LB Shaun Dolac – 6-foot-1, 225-pound inside linebacker from the University of Buffalo. Shaun Dolac. He wowed scouts at his pro day. From Buffalo Bills Beat writer Ryan Talbot: Per source, UB LB Shaun Dolac is joining the #Rams as an UDFA. He has that unique S/LB potential

    Outside linebacker (2)

    OLB Jamil Muhammad – A former quarterback turned pass rusher, this USC prospect certainly brings plenty of intrigue to the Rams roster, per Aaron Wilson. His unique career track even caught the eye of the Kansas City Chiefs. Standing an estimated 6-foot-2 and weighing 230 pounds, his best season was 2023 when he racked up 46 tackles, 11 tackles for a loss, and 6.5 quarterback sacks. He is worth keeping on the radar.

    OLB Josh Pearcy – A six-year edge rusher for Rice, the 6-foot-2, 242-pound performer is signing with the Rams, per Rice. A quietly productive iron man in the NCAA, Pearcy brings passion and versatility to the NFL and could find his niche in any number of roles.

    Safety (1)

    S Nate Valcarcel – After the stunning performance of undrafted S Jaylen McCollough, the addition of Northern Illinois’ 6-foot-1, 192-pound safety Nate Valcarcel cannot be brushed off as another camp body. Per Ryan Fowler, Valcarcel is joining the Rams’ secondary to compete for playing time. His stats prove that he is developing each year. Now, he brings that football passion to the NFL

    Offense (7)

    Running back (1)

    RB Jordan Waters – While Jordan Waters was undrafted, he is worth talking about from his size and stature alone. Per Aaron Wilson, the Rams are signing the former 6-foot-0, 224-pound NC State running back. While he unofficially clocked a 4.58-second 40-time, his size more than compensates for that. He is a versatile weapon in the offensive backfield that can put yards and points on the board on the ground or through the air.

    Wide Receiver (3)

    WR Mario Williams – The wide receiver room gets more competitive with the addition of Tulane’s 5-foot-9, 178-pound rookie wide receiver prospect, per Tulane Football. He will need to prove that he can compete as an every-down offensive weapon, but he has plenty of special-teams and trick-play potential.

    WR Tru Edwards – Rather than transfer from Louisiana Tech to Kentucky, this diamond-in-the-rough wide receiver has signed to play for the Rams instead, per NFL Insider Adam Schefter. While a bit unorthodox, there is a lot to love about this signing. If his college stats profile is true, he stands 6-foot-3, weighs 200 pounds, and clocked an unofficial 40-time of 4.40 seconds.

    WR Brennan Pressley – Per Matt Zenitz, the Rams are adding one of Oklahoma State’s most prolific pass catchers. He is limited by size alone, as he stands 5-foot-9, weighs 175 pounds, and runs a 4.46-second 40-yard dash. He is a versatile offensive weapon and a special-teams standout.

    Interior offensive lineman (2)

    IOL Willie Lampkin – Per Justin Melo of The Draft Network. The Rams’ front office does not hold a size standard that other NFL teams have. NT Poona Ford (at 5-foot-11)? Meet 5-foot-10, 270-pound interior offensive lineman Willie Lampkin. If Lampkin were four inches taller, he might have been drafted on Day 2. Is he the Rams’ future fullback? Oh wow, if he is, this is the steal of the draft.

    IOL Ben Dooley – Per Boise State, 6-foot-5, 320-pound left guard Ben Dooley will sign with the Rams. He was a long-time blocker for standout RB Ashton Jeanty, so he comes with a presumed excellent mark in run blocking.

    Offensive tackle (1)

    OT Trey Wedig – If you didn’t realize, Rams starting left tackle Alaric Jackson was an undrafted free agent signing who was projected as early as Round 3 but fell out of the draft. That is why the similar tale of Indiana’s 6-foot-6, 310-pound offensive tackle is worth the read. Signing with the Rams, per Jeremy Fowler, Wedig instantly throws his hat into the ring for competing as RT Rob Havenstein’s successor.

    from https://sports.yahoo.com/article/former-louisiana-tech-wr-tru-003459125.html

    During his tenure at Louisiana Tech, Edwards showcased his talent by recording 84 receptions for 986 yards and eight touchdowns in the 2024 season, earning First-Team All-Conference USA honors. Over his collegiate career, he amassed 112 catches for 1,307 yards and eight touchdowns. ​

    from https://sports.yahoo.com/article/rams-signing-son-former-1st-011504785.html

    The Rams have already signed a bunch of undrafted rookies, one of them being Louisiana Tech wide receiver Tru Edwards. He’s the son of former first-round pick Troy Edwards, who was also a wide receiver.

    Me: …his father, Troy Edwards, played for the Rams in 2002 but didn’t see much action. He was a 1st round pick by Pittsburgh in 1999.

    Tru is 24. He bounced around a lot through minor college programs before having his big year at Louisiana Tech in 2024.

    Then there’s this vid, where at the 7:46 mark, Tru Edwards catches a short pass in traffic one-handed behind his back (yes one-handed behind his back), and runs it 88 or so yards downfield for a TD.

    Shaun Dolac

    from https://www.nfl.com/prospects/shaun-dolac/3200444f-4c03-9551-2ab3-5f9bcd179974

    By Lance Zierlein

    Overview

    Three-year starter who went from walk-on to All-American over a five-year span. Dolac’s activity level and production are impressive. He does a nice job of recovering from misdirection and finding his way to the football. He’s scrappy and smart but lacks the size and explosiveness most teams look for from NFL linebackers. Dolac might not have the measurables but his instincts and ability to play as a core special-teamer could give him a chance regardless of his draft status.

    Strengths

    Tremendously productive as a starter.
    Perceptive to play design and sees the field with a wide lens.
    Able to combat climbing blocks with leverage and positioning.
    Good instincts and ball skills working from spot drops.
    Has an opportunity to shine as a core special-teams player.

    Weaknesses

    Below-average size, speed and length.
    Lacks ideal agility and athleticism from second level.
    Gets caught behind blocks with premature shots downhill.
    Can be swallowed by linemen who get their hands on him.
    Too heavy on his feet to match NFL route breaks in coverage.

    his agility numbers from his pro day were very good. 4.22 short shuttle and 6.93 three cone.

    could be another udfa gem.

    Zierlein seems especially negative this year, I don’t know why. Whatever it is the Rams see in a player that makes them seem better than average in certain ways, he tends not to see it. He was not very high on Ferguson either but then everyone else was.

    Defense (7)

    Defensive tackle (2)

    DT DaJon Terry – I will always embrace the Rams’ interest in reinforcing the trenches. Even if that success rate at generating contributors plummets to single-digit odds. The addition of 6-foot-3, 317-pound DaJon Terry does not push the needle far, but it does give the Rams a robust blocker-gobbler who arrives hungry and passionate, simply needing coaching and patience.

    DT Bill Norton – This guy stands out from size alone. At 6-foot-6 and 335 pounds, he stands out in virtually all ways compared to the faster and more agile defensive trenchmen. But he did show production in his past two seasons, and with his size and power, he is going to stand out. If the Rams coaches can harness and hone his abilities, he is going to be a good one.

    Inside linebacker (1)

    LB Shaun Dolac – 6-foot-1, 225-pound inside linebacker from the University of Buffalo. Shaun Dolac. He is a versatile tackling machine that I cannot believe did not go drafted. He is a defensive coordinator’s dream signing, as his 168 tackles, 6.5 quarterback sacks, and 5.0 interceptions in 2024 showcase a weapon who can be used in many ways and roles. We’ll talk more about him soon.

    Outside linebacker (2)

    OLB Jamil Muhammad – A former quarterback turned pass rusher, this USC prospect certainly brings plenty of intrigue. Standing an estimated 6-foot-2 and weighing 230 pounds, his best season was 2023 when he racked up 46 tackles, 11 tackles for a loss, and 6.5 quarterback sacks. There is something to be said about the team signing a guy from the next-door backyard. The Rams like him. You will too.

    OLB Josh Pearcy – A six-year edge rusher for Rice, the 6-foot-2, 242-pound edge rusher is joining the Rams’ ranks. He is a clever and productive performer who could find a niche role on defense or special teams.

    Safety (2)

    S Nate Valcarcel – After the stunning performance of undrafted S Jaylen McCollough, the addition of Northern Illinois’ 6-foot-1, 192-pound safety Nate Valcarcel cannot be brushed off as another camp body. Valcarcel’s stats prove that he is developing each year. Now, he brings that football passion to the NFL with an ideal size to compete for playing time.

    S Malik Dixon-Williams – The Rams continue to sign up safeties after the draft, this time it’s UConn’s 6-foot-1, 200-pound safety Malik Dixon-Williams. MDW put up 67 tackles and three interceptions in his final season. Keep MDW on your radar. I like small football program rookies. I love what he might add to the Rams’ defense.

    Offense (10)

    Running back (1)

    RB Jordan Waters – While Jordan Waters was undrafted, he is worth talking about from his size and stature alone. Standing 6-foot-0 and weighing 224 pounds, this NC State running back breaks the mold in many ways. While he unofficially clocked a 4.58-second 40-time, his size is unmistakable. A more physical running back in the backfield? Oh yeah, I love the idea.

    Tight end – (2)

    TE Anthony Torres – Considered among the top undrafted tight ends, Toledo’s 6-foot-6, 247-pound tight end joins a rather crowded tight end room. While one of the oldest rookies in this class, he needed the extra time to string together impressive performances. He is a small school tight end who checks all the boxes. He is a true red zone weapon, something this team desperately needs.

    TE Mark Redman – There is a lot to love about Loisianna TE Mark Redman. He stands 6-foot-5, weighs 257 pounds, and is an elite in-line blocker. That is not to say that he cannot catch passes, as he hauled in 83 passes for 897 yards and eight touchdowns. Projected as a Day 3 selection, he could be the heir apparent to the former Johnny Mundt blocking role.

    Wide Receiver (3)

    WR Mario Williams – The wide receiver room gets more competitive with the addition of Tulane’s 5-foot-9, 178-pound rookie wide receiver prospect. Williams may not be an every-down offensive weapon, but he has plenty of special-teams and trick-play potential. And he may surprise as he hauled in 60 passes for 1,031 yards and six touchdowns for Tulane. He can score. He simply has to score for the Rams now.

    WR Tru Edwards – Rather than transfer from Louisiana Tech to Kentucky, this diamond-in-the-rough wide receiver has signed to play for the Rams instead (Sorry, Wildcats fans). He stands approximately 6-foot-3, weighs 200 pounds, and clocked an unofficial 40-time of 4.40 seconds. Best of all, in 2024, he hauled in 84 passes for 986 yards and six touchdowns. I like the production. I love the size. Seriously, this young man
    has a very high ceiling.

    WR Brennan Presley – The Rams added one of Oklahoma State’s most prolific pass catchers. He is limited by size alone, as he stands 5-foot-9, weighs 175 pounds, and runs a 4.46-second 40-yard dash. He is a versatile offensive weapon and a special-teams standout who put up 315 receptions, 3,315 yards, and 23 touchdowns. He is also a gifted runner, rushing 30 times for 160 yards and six touchdowns. He is another versatile weapon.

    Interior offensive lineman – (3)

    IOL Willie Lampkin – The Rams’ front office does not hold a size standard that other NFL teams have. NT Poona Ford (at 5-foot-11)? Meet 5-foot-10, 270-pound interior offensive lineman Willie Lampkin, who was a Senior Bowl standout. If Lampkin were four inches taller, he might have been drafted on Day 1. Some speculate that his unique size and skillset make him in line to become the Rams’ future fullback. I will buy his jersey if that happens.

    IOL Ben Dooley – 6-foot-5, 320-pound left guard Ben Dooley joins the Rams as a long-time blocker for standout RB Ashton Jeanty, so he comes with a presumed excellent mark in run blocking. And he brings impressive size, power, and smoldering anger to the NFL.

    Wyatt Bowles – A 6-foot-5, 300-pound dynamo from Utah State (they coach ’em up there), Wyatt Bowles played in 52 games with 20 starts, 1,543 snaps, and 51 pancakes. He is a fierce and versatile interior offensive lineman who brings blue-collar bully-ball to the offensive trenches

    Offensive tackle – (1)

    Trey Wedig – The Rams have a knack for unearthing diamonds for the offensive line after NFL drafts are over. Starting left tackle Alaric Jackson never heard his name called out in the draft. Did the Rams just mine another diamond for a future right tackle role? 6-foot-6, 310-pound Indiana offensive tackle Troy Wedig certainly fits the profile. Initially projected to come off the board early in Day 3, Wedig fell out of the draft through no fault of his own. He is raw, but all of his deficits are correctable with coaching. So what happens when the Rams correct his inexperience and flaws? He could be the future starting right tackle of the team. Take note that Wedig was the 21st-ranked offensive tackle in this draft class.

    from https://www.nfldraftbuzz.com/Player/Trey-Wedig-OL-Wisconsin

    Draft Profile: Bio

    The Wales, Wisconsin native made his mark at Kettle Moraine High School before joining the Wisconsin Badgers’ program. During his prep career, Wedig earned consecutive first-team Wisconsin Football Coaches Association All-State selections and showcased his athleticism with a runner-up finish in the shot put at the 2019 Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association State Championships.

    After redshirting in 2020, Wedig worked his way into the Badgers’ rotation, appearing in all 13 games during his redshirt freshman campaign. His role expanded in 2022, where he logged eight starts across multiple positions – five at right tackle, two at right guard, and one at left guard. The two-time Academic All-Big Ten selection transferred to Indiana following the 2023 season, where he appeared in 12 games.

    Scouting Report: Strengths

    Plus arm length and natural knee bend allow him to maintain leverage through the arc against edge rushers
    Snap-to-step quickness out of his stance shows functional mobility needed for pass protection sets
    Heavy hands in the run game; creates torque and displacement when he lands his initial punch
    Play strength at the point of attack translates to good anchor ability against power rushers
    Smooth lateral movement skills aid in mirroring speed rushers and recovering against counter moves
    Shows coordinated footwork in pass sets; maintains half-man relationship with good base width
    Position versatility demonstrated with starts at multiple spots along the offensive line
    Natural bender who plays with consistent pad level despite height; keeps feet driving through contact

    Scouting Report: Weaknesses

    Base narrows when redirecting in space; leads to balance issues against counter moves
    Inconsistent hand placement allows defenders into his chest; needs to improve initial strike location
    Struggles to maintain blocks through the whistle; tendency to ease up once initial contact is made
    Limited experience against top-tier edge talent; technique breaks down versus speed-to-power rushers
    Second-level blocking needs refinement; takes inconsistent angles to moving targets in space

    Scouting Report: Summary

    A developmental tackle prospect with the frame and functional movement skills coveted at the next level. Shows natural pass protection traits with smooth kickslide and good mirror ability. Upper body strength and leverage allow him to generate movement in the run game when technique is sound.

    The tape reveals a tackle who excels in traditional pass sets but needs technical refinement in the run game. Despite plus physical tools, inconsistent hand placement and finishing ability limit his current effectiveness. Three-position experience adds roster value while he develops.

    Scheme versatility exists for both gap and zone systems, though his movement skills suggest higher upside in a zone-heavy offense. Day three prospect who could develop into a swing tackle with proper coaching and physical maturation.

    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.

    Eric Galko@EricGalko
    Kicking off the Pro Day circuit today is one of the bigger combine snubs of 2025 in @IndianaFootball
    OT Trey Wedig

    A transfer from Wisconsin, Wedig started 13 games at right tackle in 2024 for the playoff bound #Indiana team.

    He’s played in 45 career games played in college with starts at right tackle, right guard and left guard, and his experience, ideal excellent height (6065v) and length (8168v wing), and efficiency as a pass blocker will be appealing as an NFL swing tackle.

    With a @TrckFootball 5.0 PAI thanks to elite shot-put and discus background, Wedig showed his strength and balance at the @ShrineBowl and should again at Pro Day again!

    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.”
