The Los Angeles Rams’ draft strategy appears to be taking shape as April’s selection event inches closer.
Despite bolstering their receiving corps with Davante Adams to pair with breakout star Puka Nacua, rumors suggest the Rams might still be hunting for offensive weapons rather than addressing their defensive needs.
After narrowly missing out on Brock Bowers in last year’s draft, the Rams reportedly haven’t abandoned their quest to secure a premier tight end.
According to NFL insider Dianna Russini, the team’s brain trust is already formulating an aggressive plan.
“Expect the Rams to once again show interest in a tight end in the first round. Last year, Los Angeles tried — and failed — to move up to select Brock Bowers. I’m told Sean McVay and Les Snead could once again try to move up to get their guy,” Russini wrote in The Athletic.
The timing couldn’t be better if tight end remains high on their priority list.
While last year’s class featured Bowers as the standout prospect, the 2025 draft offers multiple first-round caliber talents at the position.
Penn State’s Tyler Warren stands atop most draft boards after a breakthrough senior campaign that culminated in winning the prestigious Mackey Award.
Warren’s background as a former quarterback adds an intriguing dimension to his game, giving him rare versatility that offensive minds like McVay could maximize.
Not far behind is Michigan standout Colston Loveland, who showcased impressive downfield playmaking ability despite working with inconsistent quarterback play throughout his collegiate career.
Scouts have noted his All-Pro ceiling, making him another tempting target if the Rams indeed look to trade up.
For Matthew Stafford, another reliable target could be the final piece needed to elevate an already dangerous passing attack.
While defense remains an obvious need area, the possibility of McVay and Snead making another bold move demonstrates their commitment to maintaining offensive firepower.
