The Rams drafting TE Terrance Ferguson feels like a long time coming.
The Rams ranked 4th in EPA/pass out of 12 personnel last season. If you think Sean McVay isn’t cooking up something…you haven’t been paying attention.

Could Terrance Ferguson signal more tight end usage in Rams offense?
Will the Rams use their tight ends more after drafting Terrance Ferguson?

A way-too-early look at QBs the Rams could target with their extra 2026 first-round pick:
🔹 Arch Manning
🔹 LaNorris Sellers
🔹 Drew Allar
🔹 Fernando Mendoza
🔹 Nico Iamaleava
This class could define the post-Stafford era in LA.

There is going to be a lot of focus on Arch Manning to the Rams for obvious reasons.
...however, he's only started 2 games and both Peyton/Eli played for four years. May not even come out in '26.
I'm much more intrigued by LaNorris Sellers at QB post-Stafford. Even like upside of Drew Allar.

I really do like what the Rams did with this draft class.
It probably won’t line up with '23 or '24, but added some solid pieces. Love Ferguson, Hunter, Paul, and Mumpfield.
Everything Snead did fits where the team build is at right now.

Jarquez Hunter has been a popular player that I have mocked for the Rams. Made my final mock draft and included him in my Day 3 mock this morning.
Brings 4.4 speed and only behind RJ Harvey in career explosive run rate. 33% of his runs b/2 the tackles went for 10+ yards.

Terrance Ferguson made my Snead's Snacks list as an honorable mention.
Was one of my winners among tight ends at The Combine. He tested really well. Showed out in Mobile at the Senior Bowl. Think he's going to be a great fit in the Rams offense.

Terrance Ferguson is an explosive athlete. Over 25% of his catches last year went for 20+ yards.
Everything he does is physical. Runs physical routes. He's physical after the catch as he ranked 3rd in YAC/rec. Willing blocker.

It wasn't just WR Tet McMillan that the Rams tried to trade up for last night.
Per The Dan Patrick Show, the Rams also tried to move up to take WR Emeka Egbuka.
Would love TE Mason Taylor at 46 if he's there. Guessing that may be a WR like Noel/Higgins, Bech, or even Ayomanor.

I wrote a while back about what the Rams' goal of the 2025 draft should be. There was a big feeling that the player at 15 not being that different than the player at 50.
"This is no longer a team building a roster, but rather one trying to supplement a roster."

The 2026 first in the trade back with Atlanta gives the Rams so much flexibility.
1. Can use it at the deadline to trade for a star.
2. Can also hold on to it and add two first-round caliber players next year.
3. Could also use it as ammo to move up for QB1 post-Stafford.

Notable: The 3rd round pick at 101 that the Rams sent to the Falcons is the compensatory pick that they received for Raheem Morris.
Played a big role in getting the '26 first.

They give up pick 101 but also get a 7th rounder.

With Warren off of the board, the Rams will miss out on the top-two tight ends.
Still...wouldn't overlook Mason Taylor.
Has gotten some recent late-first round buzz. A guy coaches really like. Good trade-back candidate as well.

The Browns going Mason Graham at 5 is good for the Rams if they want to trade back.
A chance that part of the haul that James Gladstone sent to the Browns ends up with Les Snead. Cleveland could look to trade up from the early 2nd round to get their QB.
