NFL Draft: Tackle Frenzy, Rams' Steal

0:00On April 22nd, the 2026 NFL Draft Class stands out as one of the weirdest we've seen, packed with elite talent but mostly stacked at. Spots like offensive tackle that don't always scream top value. Sure, there are blue chip studs, but premium positions like receiver and edge might thin out quick, while tackles could fly off the board early. Teams ahead of the Los Angeles Rams, sitting at the 13th pick, are primed to chase those big linemen. Look at the top tackles for Mott Draft Boards, Francis Maui Goa for Miami at number 6 overall, Spencer Fano from Utah at 11, Monroe Freeling, from Georgia at 14, and a few more like Hayden Proctor and Blake Miller in that teens to 20's range. Front runners like the Cardinals at 3, Giants at 5 and 10, Browns at 6, and Chiefs at 8 all have reasons to load up on trenches. New coaches and GMs love building from the line, and with Patrick Mahomes nursing injuries, Kansas City might prioritize protection over other needs. If two or three tackles vanished before 13, the Rams could feast.

1:03They're hunting receivers to bolster the roster, but set a tackle, so an early run pushes versatile corners or wideouts like Jordan Tyson or Mansour. Delane right into lace needs lap. Picture this, a tackle frenzy shakes things up, and suddenly the Rams snag premium skill at a steal. Keep watching those mocks, it's setting up for a wild first round.
