A look at the top three not-so-obvious choices for the Los Angeles Rams to pick at No. 13 overall.
There are a multitude of ways in which the Los Angeles Rams can choose to use their No. 13 overall pick. They can stand pat and pick a potential day one starter, or make a move up or down the draft board.
Considering the choices at hand, general manager Les Snead might also surprise everyone by taking a swing at a prospect that has not been linked to the Rams through multiple mock drafts.
That said, here are three not-so-obvious selections the Rams can take at No. 13 overall.
3. KC Concepcion, WR, Texas A&M
The Rams have been connected plenty to the likes of Ohio State receiver Carnell Tate, USC's Makai Lemon, and Indiana's Omar Cooper Jr. The only top wideout that has not been mocked to Los Angeles as often has been Texas A&M's KC Concepcion.
The college prospect has the right size and ability to be a YAC monster for the Rams offense. While defenders will be looking towards Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, Concepcion can be used in gadget plays and over the middle to catch and run with speed.
Concepion finished his collegiate career with 2,128 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 19 drops. That many drops is very concerning and will be something that he must work on.
That said, he could be an under-the-radar receiver pick that can be molded in a big way under Sean McVay.
2. Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon
Despite being mocked to the Rams before, bringing in a tight end to an already stacked tight end room would be confusing, especially at No. 13 overall. However, Kenyon Sadiq has the skill set that could be used in blocking assignments and limited pass-catching situations while he learns under Tyler Higbee and Colby Parkinson.
Higbee was nearing retirement when it was announced that he would return on a two-year deal. He is clearly in the twilight years of his career, and the Rams would be ensuring the future of the room by taking the consensus top player at the position.
Sadiq finished 2025 with 560 yards and eight touchdowns, and was utilized plenty in blocking situations.
Sadiq also backed up Terrance Ferguson, who now plays for the Rams, so bringing in that familiarity could be huge for the room. Ferguson is emerging in his own right and could help guide Sadiq to the nuances of the Rams' offense.
1. Trade Up for Carnell Tate
Rams general manager Les Snead said that it is highly unlikely that the Rams would consider trading up to land a player, but what if they had a shot at the consensus top wide receiver?
Ohio State's Carnell Tate, matching up with Puka Nacua and Davante Adams, would give the Rams a trio that would be tough to stop. Los Angeles is seemingly going all-in in 2026 to what could be the presumed final year for Matthew Stafford.
What better way to help Stafford and the offense hit the next level by making a push to land Tate? The Rams would have to climb into the top 10 to land him, so a switch with the Kansas City Chiefs could be possible.
A potential 2026 third-round pick could be offered to allow the Rams to move up and take the wideout. It's a long shot, but one that could certainly happen.
