In his latest mock draft for 2026, ESPN's Peter Schrager suggests that the Los Angeles Rams will trade back with the Detroit Lions to select Kenyon Sadiq, a standout tight end from the University of Oregon, at No. 17. Sadiq is recognized for his remarkable athleticism, having recorded a 4.39-second 40-yard dash, the fastest ever by a tight end at the NFL combine, along with a 43.5-inch vertical leap, the second-best for the position. While the Rams currently have several tight ends on their roster, including Colby Parkinson and Tyler Higbee, there is uncertainty regarding their future, as both Parkinson and Davis Allen are in the final year of their contracts. By drafting Sadiq, the Rams would secure two talented tight ends for at least three years, providing quarterback Matthew Stafford with another dynamic weapon in the offense. This would mark a repeat strategy for the Rams, who selected another Oregon tight end, Terrance Ferguson, in the previous draft.
