The tight end position could certainly be considered a need for the Los Angeles Rams at the moment. Tyler Higbee is in the final year of his current contract and there’s a legitimate chance the Rams release him before the start of the 2023 season.
Besides Higbee, the Rams acquired Hunter Long in the Jalen Ramsey trade, along with a third-round pick. Considering that Long only has one career reception, the idea of the Rams taking a tight end in this year’s draft shouldn’t be dismissed.
If the Rams elect to address the tight end spot in the 2023 NFL draft, Tucker Kraft out of South Dakota State is a viable option.
