NFL analyst explains why TE Kenyon Sadiq is a great fit for Rams
The Los Angeles Rams could create even better matchups for themselves in 2026 with this pick.
The Los Angeles Rams have a lot of options with the No. 13 pick in the 2026 NFL draft. Offense, defense, depth, and long-term plays are all on the table, with the selection depending on what head coach Sean McVay and general manager Les Snead want to do.
Before even making a pick, though, everyone will try to match players and teams together to find connections that make sense. ESPN's Matt Bowen broke down his 20 favorite player-team fits in the draft, and landed on Oregon tight end Kenyon Sadiq (who was Terrance Ferguson's teammate before the Rams took him No. 46 overall in 2025) was his best fit for L.
A. The Rams don't have a major need at tight end, but Sadiq should be viewed as a matchup player for Sean McVay's offense. With his frame and 4.
39 speed, Sadiq could be a seam stretcher for quarterback Matthew Stafford. Plus, McVay could use Sadiq as a backside X receiver/power slot to draw favorable man matchups. And he would fit as a catch-and-run target on boot action concepts; Stafford led the NFL with 75 attempts on designed rollouts in 2025.
