STM Take

2023 tier 5 (#40) STTM finish as a 35th overall 2nd-round pick plus three straight tier 8 finishes around it puts McCreary in the structural mid-prime journeyman CB class. The Auburn SEC 2nd-round origin plus four years of NFL development give him real college foundation. The 2026 question is whether McCreary holds tier 7-8 with the Rams or whether the role compresses to swing depth.

McCreary came out of Auburn as the Tennessee Titans' 2nd-round pick (35th overall) in 2022 after earning 2021 First-Team All-SEC honors. He spent three years with the Titans before signing with the Los Angeles Rams in 2025. His STTM career runs tier 8 (#80) rookie, tier 5 (#40) in 2023, tier 8 (#90) in 2024, and tier 8 (#102) in 2025.

Strengths

Auburn SEC 2021 First-Team All-SEC honors plus the 35th overall draft slot gives him real college foundation.
Four years of NFL survival as a 2nd-round pick across two systems gives him real veteran market value.

Concerns

Career STTM range mostly tier 8 across four years for a 35th overall pick confirms the structural ceiling has rarely climbed above rotational depth.
Los Angeles's broader defensive identity around the Aaron Donald-era transition compresses the structural support around McCreary.

What to watch: Whether McCreary holds tier 7 or better in 2026 with the Rams or whether the role compresses to swing depth.
