Rams Strengthen Offense with Tight End, O-Line Picks

On April 25th, the Los Angeles Rams just added some serious firepower in the draft, snagging

Ohio State Titan Max Claire in the second round, and offensive tackle Keegan Trost in

the third.

General manager Les Sneed and head coach Sean McVeigh broke it down with the media, saying

these picks beef up death at Titan and on the offensive.

Line right when they needed.

Earlier this week, McVeigh highlighted how Claire fits perfectly into their multiple

tight insets, which powered the Rams to a league high 30 point.

5% usage rate last season, more than double any other team.

He praised the current group, including Tyler Higby, Colby Parkinson, Davis Allen and Terence

Ferguson, as already strong in blocking end, receiving.

Meanwhile, Trost brings mad burst utility, having played right tackle mostly in college,

but also starting at left tackle, right guard, and even ready.

For center, if needed, McVeigh stressed how that flexibility helps juggle the 48-man

game day roster, making lineup decisions way smoother with just eight offensive, Lyman

active.

McVeigh also cleared up his grumpy vibe from Draft Knight, doubling down on his tight

bond with Sneed on every call.

He gushed about quarterback Prospect Simpson too, calling him a football junkie with great

timing who will learn from Matthew Stafford before stepping.

Up on Stafford's timeline.

These moves lock in the Rams' offensive identity heading into next year, building on what

worked while keeping options wide open for the grind ahead.
