Schrager’s Final Mock Has Rams Trading Down To Draft Oregon TE Kenyon Sadiq

The projection underscores Los Angeles seeking extra draft capital to address a thin long-term tight end outlook.

Overview

  • ESPN’s Peter Schrager projects the Rams will swap No. 13 with the Lions, move to No. 17, and select Oregon tight end Kenyon Sadiq.
  • His mock outlines Detroit sending Los Angeles a 2026 fourth-round pick at No. 118 and a 2027 second-round pick in the move down.
  • Sadiq posted rare NFL Combine numbers, running a 4.39-second 40-yard dash at 6-foot-3 and 241 pounds with a 43.5-inch vertical.
  • Analysts point to a shaky long-range depth chart at tight end for the Rams, with Tyler Higbee described as year to year and Colby Parkinson and Davis Allen in contract years.
  • Quarterback remains an option at No. 13, with Alabama’s Ty Simpson cited by some analysts, so the trade-and-Sadiq scenario is unconfirmed until the draft begins.
