On the surface, it seems rich for LA to spend its first pick in each of the last two drafts on the same position—especially one generally viewed as lower value.

However, even though Klare and Terrance Ferguson share the same label on the roster, they are vastly different players. Drafting tight ends in back-t0-back years may look redundant, but the Rams clearly see Ferguson and Klare as very different weapons. Ferguson is a vertical field-stretcher.

Klare is an intermediate pass catcher with YAC ability. If both develop as intended, they could give Sean McVay a new way to strain defense. Fans should be excited about this duo’s potential moving forward.

Ferguson is one of the most unique players at the position in all the NFL. He’s one of a kind . Passes thrown his direction averaged a depth of 18.
