With the Rams facing uncertainty in their tight end lineup, it may be time to invest in a young playmaker in the 2025 NFL Draft. Here are five game-changing tight end prospects the Rams should consider:
1. Colston Loveland (Michigan)
Loveland’s skill as a pass-catcher has him at the top of the class. Though he could bulk up for blocking duties, his ability to make plays in the receiving game is undeniable. Even with Michigan rotating through quarterbacks, Loveland’s performance continues to impress.
2. Luke Lachey (Iowa)
Iowa’s reputation as a “tight end factory” continues with Lachey, who has solid blocking abilities and NFL-ready hands. Known for producing players like George Kittle and T.J. Hockenson, Iowa has set a high bar, and Lachey could be the next to make an immediate impact.
3. Mason Taylor (LSU)
Taylor, the son of Hall of Famer Jason Taylor, has been crucial to LSU’s offense and would fit seamlessly into the Rams’ system. With his college schemes mirroring those of the Rams, Taylor could bring instant chemistry and athleticism to Los Angeles.
4. Tyler Warren (Penn State)
A receiving threat with the flexibility to line up in the backfield, Warren has shown reliable hands and versatility at Penn State. His skills could give the Rams dynamic options across different offensive packages.
5. Oronde Gadsden II (Syracuse)
Possibly the most athletic prospect of the group, Gadsden has elite genetics and playmaking abilities reminiscent of Darren Waller. With his speed and slender build, Gadsden could become a dynamic pass-catching threat and a star in the NFL.
These potential additions could bring much-needed depth and talent to the Rams’ tight end position as they look to strengthen their roster for future seasons.
