Rams Trade Up for Oregon TE Kenyon Sadiq

0:00It's April 22nd. Welcome to NFL News Today, powered by AI and Ready for Kickoff. Peter Schrager, from ESPN, dropped his final mod draft for the 2026 NFL draft, and it spells big changes for the Los Angeles Rams at pick, 13. Instead of grabbing USC-wide-out Mackay Lemon like he thought before, he's got the Rams trading back with the Detroit Lions to snag Oregon Tideon. Kenyan Sadik, at 17. This shift comes from fresh intel buzzing around the Rams facility, where Sadik's name keeps popping up. The team already runs a deep-tight-in group, but with Colby Parkinson hitting free agency in 2027 and others on short deals, they're eyeing long-term firepower. Fans and analysts see this as a smart play, mirroring last year's move when the Rams traded down and took Oregon Tideon Terrence Ferguson in round. Two, it locks in athletic receivers from Matthew Stafford, giving Sean McVeigh more toys to scheme with. Sadik's Combine numbers blew minds.

1:00He's 6'3", 241 pounds, clocked a 4.3940-yard dash, fastest ever. For a tight end, and leaped 43.5 inches vertically, second best at the position. Pairing him with Ferguson sets up a dynamic duo for years, boosting an offense that's always evolving and ready to chase rings in LA.
