The Rams are moving up and making their fourth selection of the 2025 draft. The team has acquired pick No. 148 from the Bears, according to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune. In return, the Bears will receive picks No. 195 and a 2026 fourth-round pick, per Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network.
The Rams have used their new selection on Ohio State defensive tackle Ty Hamilton. This is now the 11th Buckeyes player to be selected in the 2025 draft, and Hamilton is the fourth Ohio State product to be selected on Day 3.
Hamilton came into his own over the past two years. He set career-highs across the board in 2024, finishing with 51 tackles, six tackles for loss, and 3.5 sacks. The six-foot-three, 299-pound defensive tackle is expected to immediately be a useful run stopper, although scouts wanted to see more out of his pass-rush ability.
The rookie will join a defensive line that added Poona Ford this offseason. With Kobie Turner and Braden Fiske also penciled in as starters, Hamilton will temporarily find himself competing with Desjuan Johnson and Tyler Davis for backup reps.
