The Los Angeles Rams continue to be mocked to receivers, but NFL Draft expert Daniel Jeremiah has warned on taking Arizona State's Jordyn Tyson for a major reason.
The Los Angeles Rams sitting at No. 13 overall puts the team in a very advantageous spot for taking a player or potentially moving down in the draft. Though there are no steep needs for the team, a logical direction would be to take a wide receiver.
Davante Adams is not getting any younger and is in the presumed tail end of his career, leaving the door open for a potential first-round selection to be a receiver that can pair with Puka Nacua. That said, one player that has been mocked to the Rams is Arizona State's Jordyn Tyson, who has come with a major warning.
NFL Draft expert Daniel Jeremiah broke down a two-round mock draft with insider Mina Kimes, who indicated that the Rams could choose to jump up from No. 13 to No. 10 to secure a receiver by sending a 2026 and 2027 third-round pick to the Cincinnati Bengals.
Though she indicates that the receiver should or could be Tyson, Jeremiah jumped in to warn the Rams about taking the Arizona State prospect.
Kimes believes the Rams may be worried about the Miami Dolphins taking Tyson at No. 11, so they leap ahead to secure Tyson. Before she can get an agreement on the player, Jeremiah jumps in to instead say that Los Angeles should go for Omar Cooper Jr.
Initially, Jeremiah says picking Tyson worries him because he's been "constantly, constantly hurt."
Jeremiah then goes into the toughness aspect of how wideouts are asked to be on the field plenty.
"I wrote down in my notes like Omar Cooper Jr., who's not as talented as Tyson. He's a more Ramsy. He's a more Ramsay receiver to me ... I think I think they that's just their type. Like that's the type of player that they have, you know? Robert Woods was lean, but he was so tough because, with Adams out," Jeremiah added.
Jeremiah is pointing to Tyson missing a multitude of games throughout his collegiate career. He suffered a torn ACL, MCL and PCL in his left knee that ended his freshman season in 2022, and led to a missed 2023 season.
Tyson also suffered a broken collarbone in 2024 and suffered a nagging hamstring injury that sidelined him for three games in 2025 and prevented him from showcasing his skill at the NFL Combine and Pro Day.
Hamstring injuries and just soft tissue injuries in general can be very significant for players, especially receivers. Adams suffered from a lingering hamstring injury, which is what kept him out for multiple games in 2025.
The idea is for the Rams to get a receiver who is younger and can stay on the field, which is why Jeremiah pointed to Cooper.
The Hoosiers product may not be as dynamic as Tyson, but he played in every game and the CFP in 2025.
Cooper is also a run-after-the-catch kind of receiver that would pair well with the deep field threats that Nacua and Adams represent.
Tyson could very well get over his injury issues at the pro level, but to take a swing on a receiver that may be hurt due to a smaller frame could prove costly.
